Adjustments and Settings

The TM-H5000/H5000P is set up at the factory to be appropriate for almost all users. It does, however, offer some settings for users with special requirements.

It has DIP switches that allow you to change communication settings, such as handshaking and parity check, as well as print density and connection to a customer display.

The TM-H5000/H5000P also has a near-end sensor for the paper in the receipt section. This can give you a warning when the paper is almost out. If you find that there is not enough paper remaining on the roll when the near-end sensor is triggered, you can change the near-end sensor setting.

See Appendix A if you need to make any of these changes.
