Note This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against farmful interference in a residential installation. Thes equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfrernce to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause farmful interference to radio or television reception , which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: --Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. --Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. --Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the reciver is connected. --Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

http://www.woosim.com 2007-10-26 112.4. Replacing paper roll Note : Be sure to use paper rolls that meet the specifications.Do not use paper rolls that have the paper glued to thecore because the printer cannot detect the paper endcorrectly. 1. Make sure that the printer is not receiving data; otherwise, data may be lost. 2. Open the paper roll cover using your finger on both side of printer and remove the remaining paper. 3. Insert a new paper roll as shown. 4. Tear the excess paper off using the edge of paper door as a tear bar.
http://www.woosim.com 2007-10-26 122.5. Set operation mode 1. Press the Mode Button until the Error Lamp twinkles 5 times 2. Change the mode and option using the Mode Button and the Feed Button according to the MODE code(Table1) z Feed button : use for changing MODE status z Mode button : use for changing OPTION status [Example] The defaults of the printer are:RS-232C/9600 BPS/8 DATA BIT/NO PARITY/ DENSITY LOW If a user wants to modify the defaults with RS-232C / 38400 BPS/7 DATA BIT/ EVEN PARITY / DENSITY HIGH Press the Mode Button until the Error Lamp twinkles 5 times and release the button. → You will see the Power Lamp twinkles one time and the Error Lamp twinkles 1 time. → This mode is RS-232C mode. Press the Feed button one time, the Power Lamp twinkles twice and the Error Lamp winkles 4 times. → Press the Mode Button one time, the Error Lamp twinkles 5 times and press the Mode Button one more time, the Error Lamp twinkles 6 times. (The baud rate has set to 38,400 bps) Press the Feed Button one time, the Power Lamp twinkles 3 times and the Error Lamp twinkles 2 times. → Press the Mode Button one time, the Error Lamp twinkles one time. (The Data Bit has set to 7 data bit.) Press the Feed Button one time, the Power Lamp twinkles 4 times and the Error Lamp twinkles 1 time.
http://www.woosim.com 2007-10-26 13 → Press the Mode Button one time, the Error Lamp twinkles 2 times. (The Parity bit has set to even parity bit.) Press the Feed Button one time, the Power Lamp twinkles 5 times and the Error Lamp twinkles 1 time. → Press the Mode Button one time, the Error Lamp twinkles 2 times after then press the Mode Button again, the Error Lamp will twinkle 3 times (The density has set to High) If all mode have set, press the Mode Button and the Feed button at the same time after then release the buttons at the same time. The printer will print out the mode status which has modified. (RS-232C/ 38,400 BPS/ 7 DATA BIT/ EVEN PARITY/ DENSITY HIGH) If the status is not correct, please try it again according to the procedure.

Control panel X Button - FEED : When the printer is on, paper can be feed manually by pressing and holding the FEED button for more than one second. - MODE : MODE Button is for use to change communication mode. Do not operate the mode button without instructions. X Panel lamp - Power(Green) : Printer is ON and ready to receive data. - Error (Red) : Indicates a fault condition or a printer error. (i.e : no paper, paper cover opened. etc.)
http://www.woosim.com 2007-10-26 184.2. The self test The Self-Test checks whether the printer has any problems. If the printer does not function properly, contact your dealer. For Self-Test, turn on the power while holding down the FEED Button. The Self-Test checks the following : 1) Make sure paper roll has been installed properly. 2) The Self-Test prints the current printer status, which provides the control ROM version and the communication method setting. 3) After printing the current printer status, Self-Test will print a pattern using the built-in character set. 4) The Self-Test automatically ends. The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it complete the Self-Test.
