Operating the Printer
Once the printer has been setup, there is very little that you
need to do during daily operation because most functions are
controlled by the host system. This chapter describes the
following few tasks that you will need to perform, some more
often than others:
• Operating the keypad
• Cleaning the printer
• Cleaning the thermal printhead
For instructions on changing the paper, see “Loading and
Removing Paper”.
Operating the Keypad
The keypad contains one button and one status LED for easy
operation of the printer.
Status LED
There is a single status LED to display on-line and error
conditions. The following table describes the types of error
conditions possible and patterns that the LED will flash in those
conditions.
In order of precedence:
Printer not configured 5 quick flashes
thermal head overheat Rapid, continuous
Cutter error 3 quick flashes
Cover open Continuous
Paper out Slow, continuous
Buttons
The printer includes one button that has the following function:
FEED Button
The FEED button advances receipt paper.
Cleaning the Printer
Cleaning the printer occasionally and keeping it well maintained
will help it to last longer and run better.
Do not use rubbing alcohol or any kind of cleaner on any
internal parts of the printer, as some parts may crack or
break as a result.
