Thermal Plain paper
1. Load the paper under the sensor. Watch the feed LED (power on LED) and it may turn red or green. If
green, go straight to step 3.
2. Adjust the VR slowly and press the paper feed button successfully (at least 7 times), until the LED light
turns green.
3. Remove the paper from the sensor, and press the feed button. If LED turns red, the adjustment is done.
Otherwise, reverse the adjusting direction slowly until the LED light turns red, then repeat step 1.
Thermal Labels

4. Software Command
4.1 Introduction
There are four basic types of software commands.
l
One-byte only control codes, see table 3.1
l
Set up commands, see table 3.2
l
Label formatting commands, see table 3.3
l Buffer mode commands, see table 3.4
The commands are expanded from Esc code (decimal 27).
The commands operate in two modes.
l
In the line mode, the printer acts on the command received immediately. After power on, the printer is in
the line mode.
l
In the buffer mode, the printer stores the lines of commands for a label into the printer buffer, then prints
multiple copies of the label without pause. Only the label formatting commands can be stored into the
printer buffer.
