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.

2.4. 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 the
core because the printer cannot detect the paper end
correctly.
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.

2.5. 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.

→ 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.

4.2. 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.

5.1. Recommended paper
5.2 Printing position
Type : Thermal Paper
Paper width : 80mm
Paper thickness : 60±5㎛
Outer diameter : Ø38mm or less
Recording side : Outside of roll
Cautions
1. Do not paste the paper to the core. And the roll paper which has
near end mark printing on its near end is recommended.
2. Chemicals or oil may change the color of paper, or printed characters may fade.
3. Change of paper color starts from approx . 70℃.
Pay attention to heat, humidity and sun light.
4. Color of paper may be changed by being scratched by nail or hard metal, etc.
