(1) POWER switch Turns on/off the power for the printer body. (2) POWER lamp (Green/Red) Comes on in green when the POWER switch is set to ON. This light is lit in red while the battery is charging, and goes off when it is fully charged up. (3) ERROR lamp (Red) Illuminated at the time of a head-up mechanical error, and blinks at the time of starting a macro. (4) PAPER lamp (Red) Illuminated when the paper is running out (when there is little paper left), and blinks when a label paper cut is specified.
4. OPERATION 4.1 Connecting AC Adapter 1 2 3 Turn off the power. Connect the cable connector of the AC adapter to the power connector located on the back of the printer. Connect the AC power cord of the AC adapter, and plug it into a socket. (For the details of printer status, see “Operation Panel and Display of Error” in Section 4.15.) CAUTION: • Use only the specified AC adapter. • When disconnecting/reconnecting the cable connector of the AC adapter, be sure to hold the connector.
4.2 Replacing the Battery Pack 4.2.1 Removing the Battery Pack 1 2 3 4 Unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet. Set POWER switch to OFF. Remove the battery cover. (While pressing down section A, slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.) Remove battery pack from compartment and disconnect its connecter.
4.2.2 Installing the Battery Pack 1 2 3 4 With the labeled side of battery pack facing up, connect the battery connecter. Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment. (Tuck the battery connecter tidily in the extra space of the compartment.) Place the battery cover back over the compartment by sliding it from the back of the printer. (Exercise care not to bite the battery leads.) Be sure to install the battery cover after the battery pack is replaced.
4.3 Charging the Battery Pack The battery pack can be charged in either non-floating or floating modes. In floating mode, the battery pack can be charged while the printer is operating. 4.3.1 Non-Floating Charging 1 2 3 Turn off the power. Plug the cable connector of the AC adapter into the power connector at the back of printer. Connect the AC cord of the AC adapter, and plug the other end to a wall outlet. (1) The POWER lamp comes on in red, indicating that charging has started.
4.3.3 Battery-Powered Operation The printer is powered only from the battery pack if the AC adapter is left disconnected. The printer is ready to be run by the battery when its POWER switch is pressed ON (POWER lamp lit in green). Be sure to press the POWER switch OFF (POWER lamp goes off) after every use. Protecting the Battery Pack (1) If the battery voltage drops to around 5.9 V, the POWER lamp starts blinking in green to indicate low voltage.
4.3.4 Battery Voltage Check If the battery voltage drops below 5.6 V, the voltage check feature automatically shuts off the printer (POWER switch is left at ON). While the printer may be repowered by cycling the POWER switch, the battery pack will require recharging at this point. The voltage check feature is more likely to activate in print mode than standby mode. It activates the battery pack protection circuit and shuts off battery power supply.
CAUTION: • If a charging cycle does not complete within the specified time, stop charging at that point. This will help prevent electrolyte leakage, heat build-up, or bursting. • The battery pack has a limited life. If charging cycle time is significantly shortened although the specified charging requirements are satisfied, it is most likely that the battery life has expired. Replace it with a fresh one.
4.4 Reset 4.4.1 Reset during a Printing Task The printer, when operating on battery power, may reset (POWER lamp goes off) while it is printing dense patterns or images. This is because the battery voltage drops below 5.6 V due to dense pattern, tripping the battery protection circuit. This phenomenon is more likely to occur after the battery voltage starts dropping. If the printer resets too frequently despite this action, recharge the battery pack. 4.4.
4.5 Power Save and Auto Power Off 1 To save unnecessary battery consumption, the printer automatically enters the power save mode if it receives no print data, or is not operated, for approx. 10 minutes. If the same inactive state continues for another 10 minutes, the auto power off feature automatically turns the printer off. (The timer intervals can be set with a DIP switch.) No data, no operation (variable) Power Save (fixed to 10 min.) ↓ ↓ ↑ Auto Power Off • Can be set with a DIP switch.
4.6 Connecting Interface Cable 1 2 3 4 Turn off the power. (Mating side included) Check the top and bottom of cable terminals, and connect to the interface connector. Fix the cable terminals. Serial interface : Tighten screws, to fix it. Parallel interface : Turn a stopper, to fix it. Connect the cable to the host computer. CAUTION: • Referring to "6. PARALLEL INTERFACE" and "7. SERIAL INTERFACE," check the pin configuration of the interface connector and cable.
4.7 Inserting the Paper CAUTION: • Be sure to use the specified paper roll. • Use of non-specified paper may not guarantee the print quality, printing head life, and so on. 1 2 Hold the convexity on the rear of the printer cover, and raise it upward. Cut the front end of the paper roll almost at a right angle. CAUTION: • The printer cover is not stationary (Opening/Closing). After detaching it, be careful not to lose or break it.
8 9 Put back the head-up lever. The paper roll is automatically pulled in by the platen roller to feed a constant amount of paper. (When auto-loading is enabled.) Put back the printer cover. CAUTION: • If the paper roll is still slack, rewind the paper to remove the slack. • If the paper roll is tilted, raise the head-up lever to correct the paper roll position, or pull out the paper roll and set it again. • Do not open the printer cover while printing.
4.8 How to Remove Remaining Paper Roll 1 2 3 Remove the printer cover. Raise the head-up lever. Gently pull out the paper to the near side. If the paper roll is still remaining, cut it just before the paper insertion slot before pulling it out. CAUTION: • Do not pull out the paper roll in the opposite direction. • Never take out paper with the head-up lever lowered, because it could damage the printing head. • The printer mechanism may be very hot just after printing, so be duly careful.
4.9 Eliminating the Paper Jam 1 2 3 4 5 Turn off the power. 6 7 8 Remove the remaining paper roll completely from the paper passage. Detach the printer cover. Cut the paper roll near the paper insertion slot. Raise the head-up lever. Raise the blue levers located on both sides of the platen roller unit, to gently detach the unit. The platen roller unit can be detached by manually raising the blue levers. Confirming the direction of the platen roller unit, reattach it to the mechanism.
CAUTION: • Do not carry out this work just after printing because the printing head is very hot. • Be sure to turn off the power when detaching the platen roller unit. • When eliminating remaining paper, do not touch the heating surface of the head with a bare hand or metal piece. • Do not detach the platen roller unit unless necessary, such as for a paper jam. • When putting back the platen roller unit, be sure to confirm that it is correctly reattached.
4.12 Paper Near End Function If the paper is running out, the PNE sensor informs the host computer that the paper is running out, by means of a signal output or the PAPER lamp on the panel. The PAPER lamp is illuminated unconditionally. 1 2 3 If the PNE sensor detects that the paper is running out, the PAPER lamp will be illuminated. 4 5 Replace the paper according to the procedure in “4.7 Inserting the Paper.” If PNE is enabled, the parallel interface will output PE.
(2) Print amount after detecting PNE When PNE is enabled, a printable amount after PNE detection can be adjusted. PNE is detected when the remaining amount of the paper roll is about 2~3 m. (It depends on the paper quality used, paper thickness, and operating environment.) An initial value is 1.5 m. Up to 1.5 m can be printed after detecting PNE. At this time, with the approx. 70µm-thick recommended paper, the remaining amount of the paper will be about 0.5~1.5 m when printing stops.
4.13 Auto-Loading Function This printer has a function to automatically set the paper. If the paper end sensor, near paper end sensor, and head-up lever are cancelled, the paper will be automatically fed by a constant amount in about 1 second. In order to smooth operation, cancel the head-up mechanism last. Also, you can use the DIP switch to enable/disable the function. If disabled, autoloading will not be performed.
4.15 Operation Panel and Display of Error 1. POWER lamp (Green/Red) The POWER lamp indicates printer status with 2 colors.

WARNUNGEN ● Wenn am Drucker oder dem enthaltenen Akku Spuren von auslaufender Batterieflüssigkeit, Verfärbungen, Verformungen oder ungewöhnlicher Geruch festzustellen sind, die Benutzung des Druckers sofort einstellen und sich an den Händler wenden. ● Wenn der Ladezyklus nicht innerhalb der angegebenen Zeit endet, brechen Sie ihn bitte zu diesem Zeitpunkt ab. Dies hilft, einem Auslaufen von Batterieflüssigkeit und Heißwerden oder Platzen des Akkus vorzubeugen.
VORSICHT ● Den Akku keinen heftigen Stößen aussetzen und nicht auf harte Flächen fallen lassen. ● Den Akku keiner direkten Sonnenbestrahlung aussetzen und nicht im heißen Fahrzeuginnenraum oder im Heißluftstrom eines Heizgerätes belassen, da anderenfalls Batterieflüssigkeit austreten oder sich das Leistungsvermögen der Batterie verschlechtern kann. ● Zum Aufladen des Akkus nach den Anleitungen in den entsprechenden Abschnitten der Bedienungsanleitung vorgehen.
AKKU-LEBENSDAUER • Der Akku ist für eine Lebensdauer von über 300 Lade-/Entladezyklen über 3 bis 5 Jahre (bei Raumtemperatur) bei sachgemäßer Verwendung ohne Überladen oder Überentladen (Ladekapazität auf 60 % oder mehr verringert) konstruiert. Zu beachten ist allerdings, daß die tatsächliche Lebensdauer je nach Zyklushäufigkeit und Betriebsbedingungen auch kürzer sein kann.
4. BETRIEB 4.1 Anschließen des Netzteils 1 2 3 Das Gerät ausschalten. Den Kabelstecker des Netzteils in den Betriebsstromeingang an der Rückseite des Druckers einstecken. Das Netzkabel des Netzteils zwischen Netzteil und Netzstecker anschließen. (Näheres zum Druckerstatus siehe “Bedienfeld und Fehleranzeigen” in Abschnitt 4.15.) VORSICHT: • • • • • • • • • • Nur das vorgeschriebene Netzteil verwenden. Beim Anschließen/Abtrennen des Steckers vom Netzteil immer am Stecker und nicht am Kabel anfassen.
4.2 Auswechseln des Akkus 4.2.1 Entnehmen des Akkus 1 2 3 4 Den Netzstecker aus der Netzsteckdose ziehen. Den POWER-Schalter auf OFF stellen. Den Akkufachdeckel entfernen. (Den Deckel in Bereich A andrücken und in Pfeilrichtung abziehen.) Den Akku aus dem Fach entnehmen und die Stecker des Kabelsatzes trennen.
4.2.2 Einsetzen des Akkus 1 2 3 4 Den Akku mit der Etikettseite nach oben richten und die Stecker des Kabelsatzes miteinander verbinden. Den Akku in das Akkufach einsetzen. (Den Kabelsatz sorgfältig im Freiraum des Akkufachs verstauen.) Den Akkufachdeckel von der Druckerrückseite her wieder über das Akkufach schieben. (Dabei nicht die Leiter des Kabelsatzes einklemmen.) Nach dem Auswechseln des Akkus unbedingt den Akkufachdeckel wieder anbringen.
4.3 Laden des Akkus Der Akku kann gepuffert und ungepuffert geladen werden. Durch gepuffertes Laden kann er während des laufenden Betriebs aufgeladen werden. 4.3.1 Ungepuffertes Laden 1 2 3 Den Drucker einschalten. Den Stecker des Netzteilkabels an den Betriebsstromeingang auf der Rückseite des Druckers anschließen. Das Netzteil über das Netzkabel an eine Netzsteckdose anschließen. (1) Die POWER-Lampe leuchtet rot auf, was anzeigt, daß der Ladevorgang läuft. (2) Der Ladevorgang dauert ca.
4.3.3 Akkugespeister Betrieb Der Drucker wird nur dann aus dem Akku mit Strom versorgt, wenn das Netzteil nicht angeschlossen ist. Nach dem Einschalten mit dem POWER-Schalter (POWER-Lampe leuchtet grün) ist der Drucker bereit für akkugespeisten Betrieb. Nach jeder Verwendung ist der POWER-Schalter unbedingt wieder auszuschalten (POWER-Lampe erlischt). Zur Schonung des Akkus (1) Wenn die Akkuspannung bis auf ca. 5.9 V abgesunken ist, beginnt die POWERLampe grün zu blinken, um Unterspannung anzuzeigen.
4.3.4 Prüfen der Akkuspannung Wenn die Akkuspannung unter 5.6 V absinkt, schaltet die Spannungsprüffunktion den Drucker automatisch aus (POWER-Schalter bleibt in Stellung ON). Der Drucker kann zwar noch durch Hin- und Herschalten des POWER-Schalters neu eingeschaltet werden, der Akku muß aber aufgeladen werden. Während des Druckbetriebs ist eine Aktivierung der Spannungsprüffunktion wahrscheinlicher als im Bereitschaftmodus. Sie aktiviert die Akku-Schutzschaltung und schaltet die Akkustromversorgung ab.
VORSICHT: • Wenn am Drucker oder dem enthaltenen Akku Spuren von auslaufender Batterieflüssigkeit, Verfärbungen, Verformungen oder ungewöhnlicher Geruch festzustellen sind, die Benutzung des Druckers sofort einstellen und sich an den Händler wenden. • Wenn der Ladezyklus nicht innerhalb der angegebenen Zeit endet, brechen Sie ihn bitte zu diesem Zeitpunkt ab. Dies hilft, einem Auslaufen von Batterieflüssigkeit und Heißwerden oder Platzen des Akkus vorzubeugen. • Die Lebensdauer des Akkus ist begrenzt.
4.4 Rückstellungen 4.4.1 Rückstellungen bei laufendem Druckbetrieb Bei akkugespeistem Betrieb kann es vorkommen, daß während des Druckens dichter Muster oder Bilder eine Rückstellung des Druckers erfolgt. Dies geht darauf zurück, daß die Akkuspannung bei einem hohen Dichtegrad unter 5.6 V abfallen kann, wodurch die Akku-Schutzschaltung aktiviert wird. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, daß dieses Phänomen auftritt, wird größer, wenn die Akkuspannung abzunehmen beginnt.
4.5 Stromsparmodus und automatische Abschaltung 1 Um einen unnötigen Verbrauch von Akkusstrom zu vermeiden, schaltet sich der Drucker automatisch auf den Stromsparmodus, wenn er ca. 10 Minuten keine Daten empfängt und nicht bedient wird. Dauert dieser Ruhezustand weitere 10 Minuten an, spricht die automatische Abschaltung an und schaltet den Drucker aus. (Die Zeiteinstellungen sind über einen DIP-Schalter umschaltbar.
4.6 Anschließen des Schnittstellenkabels 1 2 3 Das Gerät ausschalten. (Paßseite eingeschlossen) 4 Das Kabel an den Hostcomputer anschließen.

(Wenn Auto-Laden aktiviert ist.) 9 Die Druckerabdeckung anbringen. VORSICHT: • Wenn die Papierrolle schlaff ist, das Papier zurückwickeln, um den Durchhang zu beheben. • Wenn die Papierrolle geneigt ist, den Kopfanhebe-Hebel heben, um die Papierrollenposition zu korrigieren oder die Papierrolle herausnehmen und erneut einsetzen.
4.8 Entnehmen der eingesetzten Papierrolle 1 2 3 Die Druckerabdeckung entfernen. Den Kopfanhebe-Hebel heben. Vorsichtig das Papier zur nahen Seite herausziehen. Wenn die Papierrolle verbleibt, vor dem Herausziehen kurz vor dem Papiereinführschacht abschneiden. VORSICHT: • Nicht die Papierrolle in gegenrichtung ziehen. • Niemals das Papier mit gesenktem Kopfanhebe-Hebel herausnehmen, da der Druckkopf beschädigt werden könnte.
4.9 Beseitigen von Papierstau 1 2 3 4 5 Das Gerät ausschalten. 6 7 Die restlichen Papierrolle vollständig aus dem Papierpfad entfernen. 8 Den Kopfanhebe-Hebel absenken. Die Druckerabdeckung entfernen. Die Papierrolle in der Nähe des Papiereinzugschachts abschneiden. Den Kopfanhebe-Hebel anheben. Die blauen Hebel an beiden Seiten der Druckwalzeneinheit heben, um die Einheit vorsichtig zu entfernen. Die Druckwalzeneinheit kann durch manuelles Anheben der blauen Hebel abgenommen werden.
VORSICHT: • Diese Arbeit nicht sofort nach dem Drucken ausführen, da sich der Druckkopf stark erhitzt. • Beim Abnehmen der Druckwalzeneinheit immer das Gerät ausschalten. • Beim Entfernen von verbleibendem Papier nicht die Heizoberfläche des Kopfes mit bloßen Händen oder Metallgegenständen berühren. • Nicht die Druckwalzeneinheit entfernen, wenn dies nicht unbedingt erforderlich ist, wie z.B. zum Beheben von Papierstau.
4.12 Papiermangel-Funktion Wenn das Papier fast verbraucht ist, informiert der PNE-Sensor den Hostcomputer, daß das Papier fast verbraucht ist, indem ein Signal ausgegeben wird oder das PAPER-Lämpchen am Bedienfeld aufleuchet. Das PAPER-Lämpchen leuchtet bedingungslos auf. 1 2 3 Wenn der PNE-Sensor erkennt, daß das Papier fast verbraucht ist, leuchtet das PAPER-Lämpchen auf. 4 5 Das Papier entsprechend dem Verfahren in “4.7 Einsetzen des Papiers” austauschen.
(2) Druckmenge nach Erkennung von PNE Wenn PNE aktiviert ist, kann eine druckbare Menge nach der PNE-Erkennung eingestellt werden. PNE wird erkannt, wenn die restliche Menge der Papierrolle etwa 2 bis 3 m beträgt. (Diese Betrag hängt von der verwendeten Papierqualität, der Papierdicke und der Betriebsumgebung ab.) Der Standardwert beträgt 1,5 m. Bis zu 1,5 m können gedruckt werden, nachdem PNE erkannt wird. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt beträgt bei Verwendung von Papier der empfohlenen Dicke von ca.
4.13 Autoladefunktion Dieser Drucker hat eine Funktion zur automatischen Papiereinstellung. Wenn der Papierendesensor, Papiermangelsensor und Kopfanhebe-Hebel aufgehoben werden, wird das Papier automatisch um eine konstante Menge in ca. 1 Sekunde zugeführt. Um glatten Betrieb zu gewährleisten, den Kopfanhebe-Hebel zuletzt aufheben. Außerdem kann der DIP-Schalter zum Aktivieren/Deaktivieren der Funktion verwendet werden. Wenn sie aktiviert ist, wird automatisches Laden nicht ausgeführt.
