4.8Paper Near End Sensor, Paper End Sensor, and Mechanical Alarm
4.8.1Paper Near End
When the paper is getting low, the paper near end is detected and printing is stopped. Power supply to the printing solenoid and motor is immediately stopped and BUSY PE signals are ou tputted to the host.
When data still exists in the input buffer, the remaining data in the buffer is printed before stopping.
Discharge remaining paper with the LF switch, set new paper and push the LF switch. Then normal print mode is created after cancellation of BUSY and PE output.
This function can be selected by Dip Switch setting.
4.8.2Paper End
Whether there is printing paper or not is detected. With printing paper running out, printing stops and BUSY and PE signal is outputted.
Printing is also stopped even when data remains in the input buffer.
Discharge paper with the LF switch, set new paper and push LF switch. Then BUSY PE is canceled.
When auto loading function is available, printer automatically feeds recording paper at a few lines by inserting the recording paper into the paper inlet.
4.8.3Mechanical Alarm
When occurrence of trouble in the mechanism is judged by locking of the motor, power supply to the printing solenoid and motor is stopped and BUSY signals as well as FAULT signals are output to host terminal.
To recover from alarm state, after removing trouble causes, either
