1. Make sure that the printer is not receiving data; otherwise, data may be lost.
2. Open the paper cover using finger on both side of printer, and remove the remaining
paper.
3. Insert the paper roll as shown.
4. Tear the excess paper off using the edge of paper door as a tear bar.
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. Press the MODE Button until the Error Lamp twinkles 5 times.
2. Change the mode and option using the MODE Button according to the MODE
z MODE button : use for changing OPTION status. (Error Lamp)
z FEED button : use for changing MODE status. (Power Lamp)
Ex) The defaults of the printer are : UART/ 9600 bps/ 8 data bit / No parity
/ 1 Stop bit / Density Low
If a user wants to modify the defaults with Bluetooth / 57600 bps / 7 data
bit / Odd parity / 2 Stop bit / density high
X Press MODE Button until 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.
→ Press the MODE Button 2 time and the Error Lamp twinkles 3 times.
(The interface mode has set to Bluetooth mode)
X Press FEED button one time, Power Lamp twinkles twice and Error Lamp
twinkles 1 time.
→ Press the MODE Button 3 times and the Error Lamp twinkles 4 times.
(The baud rate has set to 57,600 bps)
X Press FEED Button one time, Power Lamp twinkles 3 times and Error Lamp
twinkles 2 times.
→ Press MODE Button one time, Error Lamp twinkles one time.
(The Data Bit has set to 7 data bit)
http://www.woosim.com 16
X Press FEED Button one time, Power Lamp twinkles 4 times and Error Lamp
twinkles 1 time.
→ Press MODE Button one time, Error Lamp twinkles 1 times.
(The Parity bit has set to Odd parity bit)
X Press FEED Button one time, Power Lamp twinkles 5 times and Error Lamp
twinkles 1 times.
→ Press MODE Button one time, Error Lamp twinkles 2 times.
(The Stop bit has set to 2 Stop bit)
X Press FEED Button one time, Power Lamp twinkles 6 times and
Error Lamp twinkles 1 time.
→ Press MODE Button one time, Error Lamp twinkles 2 times after then
press MODE Button again, the Error Lamp will twinkle 3 times.
( The density has set to High)
If all the 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.
(Bluetooth / 57600 bps / 7 data bit / Odd parity / 2 Stop bit / density high )
If the status is not correct, please try it again according to the procedure.

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.
