  • Page 17 3-7-1. Removing the Tension Bar When using thermal paper roll, the tension bar unit may or may not be necessary, depending on the paper thickness, paper width, or the installation layout. If the tension bar unit is unnecessary, remove it in accordance with the procedure indicated below. The tension bar unit is unnecessary when using full-face thermal label paper roll or thermal label paper roll (tack label paper).
  • Page 18 3-7-2. Changing the Adjustment Lever Position The adjustment lever position must be changed in accordance with the paper thickness. It is factory-set to position 1. When using paper thickness between 100 and 150 μm, change the adjustment lever position in accordance with the procedure below. As shown, use a flat head screwdriver to move the adjust- ment lever inward.
  • Page 19 Caution Symbol This symbol is placed near the thermal head to indicate that it may be hot. Never touch the thermal head immediately after the printer has been used. Let the thermal head cool for a few minutes before touching it. Never touch the thermal head with your hands because it can generate static electricity, which can damage the device in the thermal head.
  • Page 20 10) Do not change the paper width during use. The thermal printing head, rubber roller, and cutter wear differently according to the paper width. This can cause the printing or cutter movement to malfunction. 11) Do not transport the printer with its cover open and holding it by the cover. 12) Do not forcibly pull on the interface cable, power cable, or cash drawer cable that is con- nected.
