Star Micronics NP-215, NP-415W, NP-225, NP-325 specifications CN6

4.4 Automatic paper cut

“Automatic paper cut” after paper is manually fed by pressing FEED button.

If manual line feed is conducted for more than 10 lines, the paper is automatically cut off after the paper feed is finished. This function is not available when the line feed is conducted by control command.

4.5 Winder drive

When no autocutter is mounted, autocutter drive motor functions as external rewinder drive.

CN6	Autocutter sensor (control switch), Outputs to motor pins 1 and 2
S2-1	OFF: rewinder drive
	ON: autocutter drive

DC motor with DC 24V, approx. 200mA

In about 1 to 2 sec. rewinder output is turned OFF after printing and paper feed.

If overloaded with higher current than specified and the status continues, the ICs may be damaged.

4.6Partition drive

The fixed drive (1 or 2 partition drives) or “automatic partition drive” can be selected by the DIP switch and commands. It should be selected according to the power supply and print duty.

1) Fixed partition

	Function	ON	OFF
S1-3	Fixed partition select	2 partitions	1 partition

1)NP-415W is assigned to 2 fixed partitions.

2)2 fixed partition select may decrease print speed.

3)2 fixed partition select may decrease print quality.

2)Automatic partition drive

	1 partition	2 partitions
NP-215/225	Less than 215 dots	Higher than 216 dots
NP-325	Less than 287 dots	Higher than 288 dots
NP-415W	Less than 415 dots	Higher than 416 dots

1.Automatic partition drive select will automatically change the print speed according to print ratio. Print noise may appear.

2.The default value selected by commands will be the fixed partition selected by. The DIP switch. Refer to the section 5.3.

3.Automatic partition select may decrease print quality.
