7. The Self Test

The self-test checks whether the printer has any problems. (You cannot perform this

procedure if using the printer’s label peel-off option) If the printer does not function

properly, contact your dealer. The self-test checks the following;


1.

Make sure that paper roll has been installed properly.

2.

Turn on the power while holding(2sec) down the FEED button. The self-test begins.

3.

The self-test prints the current printer status, which provides the control ROM version

and the DIP switch setting.

Cleaning Head

Paper dust on the heating elements may lower the printer quality. In this case, clean the

print head as follows :

Cautions

1. Turn Off the printer power before cleaning.

2. Note that the thermal head becomes very hot during normal operation,

creating the danger of burn injury. Be sure to wait for about 10 minutes

after turning printer power off before beginning the cleaning.

1. Open the printer cover.

2. Clean the thermal element (the area which is marked a thin black line) of the

thermal head with a cotton swab moistened with a alcohol solvent (ethanol,

methanol, or IPA).

3. After confirming that the alcohol solvent has been dried up completely,

close the cover-open.

Note 1. Never touch the thermal element with your hand,

then the thermal element can be damaged.

2. Don’t scratch the printer head.
