APPENDIX A: MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
A.1 Notes on Printing and Paper Feeding
1) Print duty
• When printing exceeds the allowable print duty cycle, the printer automatically senses the
status and controls printing (both for receipt and slip). In this case, the printing speed may
slow temporarily. When print duty is lowered to normal, the printing speed also returns to
normal.
2) Inserting slip paper
Slip paper should be inserted correctly by matching the top edge with the form stopper and
the right side with the right side of the paper insert portion.
If the paper is not straight, the sensors (TOF and BOF sensors) cannot detect it. The paper
cannot be clamped.
As soon as the paper is engaged by the paper feed roller and the print head, immediately let
go of it.
3) Printing on slip paper
• Slip paper can be ejected in both forward (default) and backward directions. However,
for small paper, ejecting in the forward direction is recommended.
• Slip paper should be inserted correctly by matching the top edge with the form stopper
and the right side with the right side of the paper insert portion.
• The slip waiting time and the interval from when slip is inserted to when the operation
starts can be set using ESC f.
• After the slip is ejected, the SLIP LED indicator lights and the printer does not proceed
to the next operation until the slip paper is removed.
• The remaining printing space for printing the following data on slip can be checked
using GS r 3.
• Printing with the ejection of the slip paper toward you is prohibited. Doing so may cause
paper jams and ink-stained paper.
• Do not execute a mechanical reset with the slip paper inserted. Doing so may cause
the paper edge to be caught by the print head carriage.
• Be sure to turn on the power with no slip paper inserted. Otherwise, the paper may be
caught by the print head carriage.
ASB function is recommended to check the slip status.
