Micro paper feed

Use the following procedure to feed the paper in 1/60-inch increments. This function can be used to align the print head exactly where you want it.

Press the LINE FEED button while holding down the ON LINE button to execute micro paper feed. When Tear Off lifts the paper up, the micro paper feed value is added to the tear off value. If the adjust value is over 1 inch, the micro paper feed is not executed.

Press the SET/PARK/EJECT button while holding down the ON LINE button to execute micro reverse paper feed. When Tear Off lifts the paper up, the micro reverse paper feed value is subtracted from the tear off value. If the adjust value is over 1 inch, the micro reverse paper feed is not executed.

Auto loading position change mode

While holding down the LINE FEED button, press the SET/PARK/ EJECT button. The printer enters the auto loading position change mode.

When the auto loading position change mode is entered, a short buzzer sounds twice, and all LEDS turn ON. If paper is loaded (not paper end condition), the paper is ejected when using cut-sheet paper or parked when using fanfold paper. If the paper is not parked or ejected completely, the printer exits from the auto loading position change mode, sounds a short buzzer three times, and sets the LEDs back to the previous condition. Below are the button assignments in auto loading position change mode.

Pressing the ON LINE button

If paper end condition, the printer executes paper loading.

If not paper end condition, the printer exits from the auto loading position change mode and ignores the change.

Holding down the ON LINE button and pressing the LINE FEED button The printer exits from the auto loading position change mode, and the auto loading values are reset to factory default.

Holding down the ON LINE button and pressing the SET/PARK/EJECT button

The printer exits from the auto loading position change mode, and the change is effective until the next change (setting is kept in EEPROM).
