1) Receipt/journal printing
Refer to Figure 1.10.1.
Refer to Figure 1.10.3 for the Taiwan receipt.
(Taiwan receipt can be issued easily in Taiwan mode with DIP SW 1-8 setting)
2) Validation Printing (one-line validation)
Single-line validation printing can be performed.
Since there is no validation paper hold mechanism, the validation paper should be inserted using
the guide on the journal side to position the paper. During printing, the paper should be held in
place, for example, by pushing it against the case.
NOTES: 1. Incorrect printing may result if the above procedure is not followed.
2. If the paper is inserted but is not supported by hand, it may move when the print head
moves from the journal side to the receipt side.
The user should define the home position of the print head on the receipt side and have
the head return to this position after completing receipt printing.
The printable area is shown in Figure 1.10.2.
3. Refer to Appendix D for inserting the validation paper.
