1. Unpacking and Installation 1-1. Unpacking After unpacking the unit, check that all the necessary accessories are included in the package. CD-ROM Printer Paper roll Setup sheets Note Note: The ferrite core and fastener provided with your printer depend on your printer configuration. Fig. 1-1 Unpacking If anything is missing, contact the dealer where you bought the printer and ask them to supply the missing part.
1-2. Choosing a place for the printer Before actually unpacking the printer, you should take a few minutes to think about where you plan to use it. Remember the following points when doing this. P Choose a firm, level surface where the printer will not be exposed to vibration. P The power outlet you plan to connect to for power should be nearby and unobstructed. P Make sure that the printer is close enough to your host computer for you to connect the two.

3-2. Connecting the Cable to the Printer Note that the interface cable is not provided. Please use a cable that meets specifications. CAUTION Before connecting/disconnecting the interface cable, make sure that power to the printer and all the devices connected to the printer is turned off. Also make sure the power cable plug is disconnected from the AC outlet. 3-2-1. Parallel Interface Cable (1) Make sure the printer is turn off. (2) Affix the ferrite core onto the cable as shown in the illustration.
3-2-2. RS-232C Interface Cable (1) Make sure the printer is turn off. CAUTION Before connecting/disconnecting the interface cable, make sure that power to the printer and all the devices connected to the printer is turned off. Also make sure the power cable plug is disconnected from the AC outlet. (2) Connect the interface cable to the connector on the rear panel of the printer. (3) Tighten the connector screws. RS-232C interface cable 3-2-3.
3-2-4. Connecting Ethernet Cable If a ferrite core is included, install the ferrite core onto the Ethernet cable according to the following procedure to prevent electrical noise. If a ferrite core is not included, perform steps (1) and (5) only. When using an Ethernet cable that is 10 m or less, shielded cable is recommended. (1) Make sure the printer is turned off. (2) Install the ferrite core onto the ethernet cable as shown in the illustration below. (3) Pass the fastener through the ferrite core.
3-3. Installing the Printer Software Here is the procedure for installing the printer driver and utility software, which are stored on the supplied CD-ROM. The procedure applies to the Windows operating systems shown below. • Windows XP (SP2 or later) • Windows Vista • Windows 7 (1) Turn ON the power to your PC to start Windows. (2) Insert the supplied CD-ROM (Drivers and Utilities) into the CD-ROM drive. (3) Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
3-4. Connecting the Optional AC Adapter Note: Before connecting/disconnecting the AC adapter, make sure that power to the printer and all the devices connected to the printer is turned off. Also make sure the power cable plug is disconnected from the AC outlet. (1) Connect the AC adapter to the power cable. Note: Use only the standard AC adapter and power cable. (2) Connect AC adapter to the connector on the printer. (3) Insert the power cable plug into an AC outlet.
3-5. Turning Power On Make sure that the Power cord has been connected as described in 3-4. Turn ON the power switch located on the front of the printer. The POWER lamp on the control panel will light up. Power switch CAUTION We recommend that you unplug the printer from the power outlet whenever you do not plan to use it for long periods. Because of this, you should locate the printer so that the power outlet it is plugged into is nearby and easy to access.
3-6. Connecting to a Peripheral Unit You can connect a peripheral unit to the printer using a modular plug. See “Modular plug” on page 53 for details about the type of modular plug that is required. Note that this printer does not come with a modular plug or wire, so it is up to you to obtain one that suits your needs. CAUTION Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from the AC outlet and that the computer is turned off before making connections.
3-7. Loading the Paper Roll Be sure to use paper roll that matches the printer’s specification. Push the cover open lever and open the printer cover. For the RX model: Turn the key under the cover open lever so that the lock is "OPEN." Then, push down on the cover open lever and open the printer cover. The key cannot be removed when the lock is "OPEN." Before you remove the key, turn it so that the lock is in the "CLOSE" position.
3-7-1. Removing the Tension Bar When using thermal paper roll, the tension bar unit may or may not be necessary, depending on the paper thickness. If the tension bar unit is unnecessary, remove it in accordance with the procedure indicated below. The tension bar unit is unnecessary when using thermal label paper roll (tack label paper).
3-7-2. Removing the Paper Roll Holder When using a paper roll with an 79.5 mm width, install the paper roll holder into the groover as shown. And change the setting at memory switch #4. For instructions on setting the memory switch, refer to the separate Programmer's Technical Reference manual. Note: After using a paper roll with a width of 79.5 mm, do not change to a paper roll with a width of 115.5 mm.
Caution Symbol Th is symbol is placed near the thermal head to indicate that it may be hot. Never touch the thermal head immediately after the printer has been used. Let the thermal head cool for a few minutes before touching it. Never touch the thermal head with your hands because it can generate static electricity, which can damage the device in the thermal head. This symbol is placed near the cutter. Never touch the cutter blade, which could cut your finger.
9) A printed piece of thermal paper may become electrically charged. If the printer is placed vertically or mounted on a wall, the cut piece of paper may stick to the printer, instead of falling. Beware that this could cause a problem if you use a stacker that stores the pieces of paper that fall freely. 10) Do not change the paper width during use. The thermal printing head, rubber roller, and cutter wear differently according to the paper width.
4. Consumable Parts and AC Adapter When consumable parts have run out, use those specified in the table below. Make sure that the AC adapter specified in the table is used. Use of consumable parts or AC adapter which are not specified in the table may result in damage to the printer, fire or electric shock. 4-1.

6-2. PE and BM ( Paper End and Black Mark ) Sensor Adjustment The sensitivity of the sensor is calibrated at the factory, so sensor adjustment is not necessary under ordinary conditions. However, you may need to make adjustments when using nonrecommended paper or when the surrounding environment prevents the sensor from working properly. Make sure that the printer is turned OFF. Open the printer cover, load the roll paper, and set the printer to the "paper present" state.
6-3. NE (Near End) Sensor Adjustment The sensitivity of the sensor is calibrated at the factory, so sensor adjustment is not necessary under ordinary conditions. However, you may need to make adjustments when using nonrecommended paper or when the surrounding environment prevents the sensor from working properly. Make sure that the printer is turned OFF. Open the printer cover, remove the roll paper and set the printer to the "paper absent" state.
7. Preventing and Clearing Paper Jams 7-1. Preventing Paper Jams The paper should not be touched during ejection and before it is cut. Pressing or pulling the paper during ejection may cause a paper jam, paper cutting failure or line feed failure. 7-2. Removing Paper Jam If a paper jam occurs, clear it as described below. (1) Set the power switch to off to turn off power to the printer. (2) Push the lever toward you to open the printer cover. (3) Remove the jammed paper.
8. Periodical Cleaning Printed characters may become partially unclear due to accumulated paper dust and dirt. To prevent such a problem, paper dust collected in the paper holder and paper transport section and on the surface of the thermal head must be removed periodically. Such cleaning is recommended to be carried out once six month or one million lines. If the printer uses label paper, clean it on a monthly basis or after printing approximately 200,000 lines. 8-1.
