•Operating the keypad

•Cleaning the printer

•Cleaning the thermal printhead

For instructions on changing the paper, see “Loading and Removing Paper”.

Buttons

The printer includes one button that has the following function:

FEED Button

The FEED button advances receipt paper.

Cleaning the Printer

Cleaning the printer occasionally and keeping it well maintained will help it to last longer and run better.

Status LED

There is a single status LED to display on-line and error conditions. The following table describes the types of error conditions possible and patterns that the LED will flash in those conditions.

Do not use rubbing alcohol or any kind of cleaner on any internal parts of the printer, as some parts may crack or break as a result.
