Select the recommended paper or paper of the same quality, paper confirm to the specified width, the chances of paper jam will be greatly reduced. IX. Malfunction elimination When malfunction of the printer occurs, refer to the chapter to deal with corresponding problems. If malfunction remains, please contact with the dealer or manufacturer. 9.1 Indicator light on the control penal fail to work Check whether the power cord correctly inserted into the printer, power adapter and power socket. Check whether the printer power switch is turned on or not. 9.2 Indicator light function well, but the printer fail to work Run the self-check to test whether the printer is working properly. If the printer is not able to do self-check, please contact the dealer or technical service personnel. If self-check functions well, check the following items 1. Check connection on both ends of the interface between the printer and the computer. At the same time confirm whether the connection meets both the specification and requirements of the printing machine and the computer. 2. Data transmission settings between the printer and computer may be different. You can use the self-check to print out the printer interface settings. If the printer fail to work, please contact with the dealer or technical service personnel. X. Printer driver There are two kinds of driving mode running ACE V1, one is to install driver directly under Windows9x/ME/2000/XP, another is to drive the printer with internet access directly. 10.1 Driver installation under Windows Add printer to Windows and assign the driving document in the driving disk to Windows. You can start to print by executing printing order in the program. Under this way, it is printed by the driving program of Windows printer transferring characters to graphics dot-matrix. 10. 2 Direct drive of serial ports In this way, there is no need of driving program, but outputting characters to port directly and hard-character base within the printer can achieve the transformation and printing of characters. Using this method, the way of printing changed from page printing to line printing, which is easier to control. To use direct drive of serial ports, instruction set is need to control the printing, and ACE VI printer has integrated the ESC/POS/TSC command set. XI. NFC function Put the cellphone with Rongta APP and NFO function close to the top of ACE VI printer, open the APP and connect it with ACE V1 printer. Note: usage is only confined to types with NFC function.
