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
(Table1).
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/ Density Low
If a user wants to modify the defaults with :
Bluetooth / 38400 bps / 7 data bit/ Even parity/ Density high
X Press MODE Button until Error Lamp twinkles 5 times and release the
button.
→ You will see the Power Lamp twinkles once and the Error Lamp
twinkles once.
→ Press the MODE Button twice and the Error Lamp twinkles three times.
(The interface mode has set to Bluetooth mode.)
X Press FEED button one time, Power Lamp twinkles twice and Error Lamp
twinkles once.
→ Press the MODE Button twice, and the Error Lamp twinkles three times.
(The baud rate has set to 38,400 bps)
X Press FEED Button once, Power Lamp twinkles three times and Error Lamp
twinkles twice.
→ Press MODE Button one time, Error Lamp twinkles one time.
(The Data Bit has set to 7 Data bit)
X Press FEED Button one time, Power Lamp twinkles four times and Error Lamp
twinkles once.
→ Press MODE Button one time, Error Lamp twinkles two times.
(The Parity bit has set to Odd parity bit)
http://www.woosim.com 16
X Press FEED Button two time, Power Lamp twinkles six times and
Error Lamp twinkles once.
→ Press MODE Button one time, Error Lamp twinkles twice after then
press MODE Button again, the Error Lamp will twinkle three 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 / 38400 bps/ 7 Data bit/ Odd parity/ 1 Stop Bit/Density high/Mark No Use)
If the status is not correct, please try it again according to the procedure.
