Front cover open sensor:
• When the sensor detects a cover open during printing, the printer finishes printing data
for the line when the cover open is detected; then stops the carriage movement and goes
offline. The printer goes online when the cover is closed and restarts printing.
Self Tests
The self tests let you know if your printer is operating properly. There are self tests for both roll
paper and slip paper. They check the control circuits, printer mechanisms, print quality, control
software version, and DIP switch settings.
These tests are independent of any other equipment or software, so it is a good idea to run them
when you first set up the printer and if you have any trouble. If the self tests work correctly, the
problem is in the other equipment or the software, not the printer.
Running the Self Test on the Paper Roll
1. Make sure the printer is turned off and the printer cover is closed properly.
2. While holding down the
FEED
button, turn on the printer using the switch on the front of the
printer. The self test prints the printer settings and then prints the following, cuts the paper,
and pauses. (The
PAPER OUT
light blinks.)
If you want to continue SELF-TEST printing, Please press the
FEED button.
3. Press the
FEED
button to continue printing. The printer prints a pattern using the built-in
character set.
4. The self test automatically ends and cuts the paper after printing the following:
*** completed ***
The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it completes the self test.
Note:
If you want to pause the self test manually, press the FEED button. Press the FEED button again to
continue the self test.
Running the Self Test with Slip Paper
1. Make sure the printer is turned off and the printer cover is closed properly.
2. While holding down the
RELEASE
button, turn on the printer using the switch on the front of
the printer. (The
SLIP
light blinks.)
