Operating Controls and Indicators

There is one triangular-shaped button and one light-emitting diode (LED) indicator located on top of the printer.

When the LED indicator is on continuously, the printer is powered on and ready for printing. When the indicator blinks, one of the following conditions exists:

vThe printer is offline (offline testing is enabled).

vThe printer is out of paper.

vThe cover is open.

vThe cutter is jammed.

See “Offline Test” on page 68 for additional button functions.

Paper Loading

 

1. Open the paper cover.

 

2. If there is any unused paper or if there is an empty paper roll core in the paper

 

roll holder inside the printer, remove it before inserting a new paper roll. You can

 

throw the core in the trash can.

3. If the printer is configured for snap inpaper loading (two white spheres are

present behind the metal springs), then place the paper roll onto the paper roll

holder as shown in Figure 28 on page 64; otherwise, drop the roll into the

bucket. The leading edge of the paper should come from the direction of the

back of the printer and go across the bottom of the roll as shown in the

diagram.

Note: The thermal printhead will not print on paper with glue on it. If the new

paper roll was sealed by glue, tear off the 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in.) of

paper with glue on it before loading it. Or, you can advance the paper

after loading to get rid of the glued paper.
