Tear-off Adjustment Mode

There is a tear-off bar at the edge of the window cover. When you have finished printing, you can advance the tractor paper on the tracker to the tear-off bar by the tear-off function to easily tear off the perforated sheets. The tear off setting determines the distance between the perforation of tractor paper and the tear-off bar. If the default distance is not suitable for you, you can adjust it by the printer’s tear-off adjustment feature.

With the printer online, press both the PARK/LOAD and LF/FF keys for about 3 seconds to get the printer to enter the tear-off adjustment mode. When the printer enters this mode, the ONLINE LED and the POWER LED blink alternately.

Use the PARK/LOAD and LF/FF keys to alter the tear-off setting:

PARK/LOAD: Press the PARK/LOAD key to adjust the distance in 1/60 inch increments. You can maximum increase to +15/60 inch

LF/FF: Press the LF/FF key to adjust the distance in 1/60 inch decrements. You can maximum decrease to -15/60 inch

To exit and save your new setting, press ONLINE key. The POWER LED and the ONLINE LED blink simultaneously for 3 times, then the POWER LED turns on. Your new tear-off setting value is saved.

NOTE

To exit without saving, just turn off the printer.

Using the Setup Menu System

The factory settings of this printer are selected to meet the requirements of the majority of users. However, you may want to use a different character set for a different language or you may prefer printing in different font or style. To achieve this, you can use the Setup Menu System to create your own printer settings by modifying or changing the factory defaults.

The Setup Menu System is divided into several groups, and each group contains a number of menu lists, each list containing several settings. You can select a new setting of the menu list and save it, or just go to the next menu list without altering the current setting.
