Operation Set-Up Mode The printer has been set up at the factory with the following default parameters: Baud rate : 9600 bps Handshaking : DTR Country : U.S.A. Print mode : Text (upright) Paper : Normal paper IrDA : IrDA-SIR If necessary, the default parameters can be changed as follows: 1.
Turn ON the printer and, if necessary, set it up as previously described under the heading Set-Up Mode. Also ensure that the instrument that is sending data to the printer is set up to operate in its IrDA print mode (refer to the instrument’s instruction manual for set up information).
To maintain a good print quality, it is recommended that the print head be cleaned at least once a year or up to once a month if the printer is used heavily. The print head should be cleaned immediately, however, if the print becomes visibly fainter due to contamination of the print head.
Note: If there was unprinted data in memory when the paper ran out, and the printer was not shut OFF, then the printer will automatically go on-line and print the remaining data 5 seconds after closing the paper cover.
