1. Prints at high speed (max. 130 mm/sec, 28 lines per second when the line feed
is set to 3.75 mm)
2. Quality print (8 dots/mm) thanks to the high-density line thermal print head.
3. Low noise due to line thermal technology.
4. Logo, coupon, and bar code printing is available.
5. Print density can be adjusted by DIP switches.
6. An auto cutter is provided as standard.
7. The built-in peripheral unit driver enables control of two peripheral units.

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.
Choose a firm, level surface where the printer will not be exposed to
vibration.
The power outlet you plan to connect to for power should be nearby
and unobstructed.
Make sure that the printer is close enough to your host computer for
you to connect the two.
Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Make sure that the printer is well away from heaters and other sources
of extreme heat.
Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust.
Make sure that the printer is connected to a reliable power outlet. It
should not be on the same electric circuit as copiers, refrigerators, or
other appliances that cause power spikes.
Make sure that the room where you are using the printer is not too
humid.

4. Connecting Cables and AC Adapter
4-1. Connecting the Interface Cable
Note: 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.
(1)Connect the interface cable to the connector on the rear panel of the printer.
(2)In the case of a serial interface, tighten the connector screws. In the case of a
parallel interface, fasten the connector clasps.
(3)Pass the interface cable through the hole provided at the bottom of the printer
cover, then place the printer in position.
Note: Make sure that the interface cable is passed through the hole. Failure
to do so may cause the cable to be squashed by the printer, resulting in
damage to the cable.

4-2. Connecting the Peripheral Drive Cable
Note: Before connecting/disconnecting the peripheral drive 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 discon-
nected from the AC outlet.
(1)Connect the peripheral drive cable to the connector on the rear panel of the
printer, and pass it through the cable hole provided at the bottom of the printer
cover.
Note: Make sure that the peripheral drive cable is passed through the hole.
Failure to do so may cause the cable to be squashed by the printer,
resulting in damage to the cable.

the AC outlet.
(1)Connect the AC adapter to the power cable.
Note: Use only the standard AC adapter and power cable.
(2)Cut off the blank cable hole on the printer cover using nippers.
(3)Pass the AC adapter through the hole, and connect it to the connector on the
printer.
Note: Make sure that the AC cable is passed through the hole. Failure to do
so may cause the cable to be squashed by the printer, resulting in
serious danger.
(4)Insert the power cable plug into an AC outlet.

6. Loading Paper
6-1. Loading New Roll Paper
(1)Set the power switch to off to turn off power to the printer.
(2)Pull the lever toward you to open the printer cover.
Note: Make sure that the lever is pulled until it stops at the stopper. If the lever
is not pulled up to the stopper, the printer cover may not open.
(3)Peel the adhesive end off the paper.
Note: Make sure that the entire adhesive area is removed, since no printing
can be performed on that area.
(4)Position the paper in the direction as shown below and place it into the paper
holder gently.
Note 1: Make sure that the paper is not deformed. If a roll paper like those
shown below is used, a malfunction may result.
Note 2: If the paper sags as shown below after it has been loaded into the
paper holder, make the paper taut.

(5)Make sure that the paper is positioned straight, then close the printer cover
gently.
Note 1: Make sure that the paper is positioned straight. If the printer cover
is closed with the paper skewed as shown below, a paper jam may
result.
Note 2: Lock the printer cover by pressing on the center of the cover
(indicated by an arrow in the figure below). If any part of the cover
other than the center is pressed, the cover may not be locked
properly. This may sometimes disables printing.
