Confidential APPENDIX A: MISCELLANEOUS NOTES A.1 Notes on Printing and Paper Feeding 1) Because the TM-T90 series printer is a line printer, it automatically feeds paper after printing the data. Therefore, when the line spacing for one line is set to a smaller value than the print data, paper may be fed more than the set amount just to print the data.
PAGE 195
Confidential 2) When the printer goes to the standby (data-waiting) state during printing, it temporarily stops printing and feeding paper. When data is transmitted and printing is executed, paper may shift 1 to 3 dots from the print starting position, which especially affects bit-image printing.
PAGE 196
Confidential 2) Thermal paper handling ➀ Notes on using thermal paper Chemicals and oil on thermal paper may cause discoloration and faded printing. Therefore, pay attention to the following: a) Use water paste, starch paste, polyvinyl paste, or CMC paste when gluing thermal paper. b) Volatile organic solvents such as alcohol, ester, and ketone can cause discoloration. c) Some adhesive tapes may cause discoloration or faded printing.

Confidential APPENDIX C: ADJUSTING THE ROLL PAPER NEAR-END SENSOR LOCATION The remaining detectable amount of paper on the paper roll varies with the inside and outside diameters of the paper core. The minimum detectable amount of paper on the paper roll can be set using the following method: 1) The inside diameter of the paper spool should be 12 mm {.47"} and the outside diameter of the paper spool should be 18 mm {.71"}. Specified thermal paper should be used.
PAGE 199
Confidential NOTES: 1. Since the specified thermal paper dimension of the outside diameter of roll paper in Table C.1 is a calculated value, there may be some variations depending on the printer. 2. Be sure that the detection lever operates smoothly after you finish the adjustment. 3. Change the paper roll near-end sensor position, to detect the paper near-end correctly when the printer is attached to a wall. (Refer to Figure C.2) • Loosen the screw for the detector.

Confidential APPENDIX D: PRINT HEAD CLEANING Paper dust on the heating elements may lower the print quality. In this case, clean the print head as follows: 1) Open the printer cover. 2) Clean the thermal elements of the print head using a cotton swab moistened with an alcohol solvent (ethanol, methanol, IPA). NOTES: • Do not touch the print head thermal elements. • Do not scratch the print head. 3) Insert roll paper and close the print head.

Confidential APPENDIX E: NOTES ON USING THE DRAWER KICK-OUT CONNECTOR 1) Drawer kick-out connector use conditions (refer to Section 2.2.3, Drawer Kick-out Connector) Because drawer specifications differ depending on the manufacturer and the part number, make sure that the specifications of the drawer to be used meet the following conditions before connecting it to the drawer kick-out connector. These conditions also apply to any other devices that use the drawer kick-out connector.

Confidential • For the serial interface model, the printer status is transmitted regardless of the condition of the host. • For the parallel interface model, after the host transmits DLE DC4 fn a b, the printer is required to be ready for receiving data from the host. NOTE: The printer executes the software sequence, but the power is not cut. 5) Please turn the host power off. NOTE: Do not execute a reset to the printer until the printer power is turned off after transmitting DLE DC4 (fn = 2).
