Operation
Connecting and
Powering Up
Your Printer
1.Attach the appropriate cable between the printer and your host device. The connector on the printer side is “keyed” so that you cannot plug the cable in the wrong way. This means that the pins should be positioned so that a slight pressure will seat the cable properly. Do not force the pins in. Doing so could damage the cable.
2.Plug the power cord into the back of the printer. Plug the transformer into an appropriate AC outlet. The unit will power up automatically and print Ready. This means the printer is ready to print.
The Paper Feed switch on the printer is a rocker type switch. Push the left side of the rocker switch to toggle the printer on and offline. Push the right side of the switch to advance the paper.
Your printer is now ready for printing.
The printer stores characters for printing until one of two things happens:
1.Its line buffer is filled.
2.It receives a line feed (hexadecimal 0A) or a carriage return (hexadecimal 0D) code.
When (1) or (2) occurs, the printer prints out the contents of its line buffer. If the buffer is empty when the carriage return is received, the printer simply advances the paper one line, leaving a blank line in the printout.
Maintenance
When printing becomes faint or difficult to see, replace the ribbon in your printer with an Epson
