APPENDIX C: RECOVERY FROM THE AUTO CUTTER ERROR

•If a foreign object such as a push pin or paper clip drops in the auto cutter and causes the auto cutter to lock up, the printer enters an error state and begins the recovery operation automatically. (The error LED flashes continuously, but it is possible for the error to be corrected automatically.)

If the problem is not serious, the auto cutter returns to its normal position without any intervention by the user.

If the auto cutter does not return to its normal position by itself, follow the steps below to correct the problem:

1)Pull the cutter cover toward you and remove it so that you can rotate the cutter motor knob.

2)Rotate the cutter motor knob to the direction indicated by an arrow on the autocutter unit.

3)Following the instructions on the caution label, rotate the knob until the indicator ▼ appears in the hole.

•If the motor knob cannot be rotated, rotate it in the reverse direction to loosen it; then send the DLE ENQ n command. Next, check the ERROR LED. If the ERROR LED is not off, repeat the same procedure and confirm that the ERROR LED is off. When the ERROR LED is off, the auto cutter blade has returned to its normal position and the roll paper cover can be opened. Open the roll paper cover, remove the jammed paper, and reinstall the roll paper. Then close the roll paper cover.
