Summary of Contents for Oki LD670

  • Page 4 Notes on Use Notes on printing and the paper used (1) Printing at a high rate might result in unclear printing. If this problem occurs, adjust the printing rate. Alternatively, adjust the print speed and print density so that there are no blurs. (See Examples (1) and (2) in Section 10-2, "Setting Up the Printer.") (2) Printing characters from a non-standard character set e.g.
  • Page 5 (10) If label paper is used, adhesive matter adhering to the cutter blade, thermal head, paper transport, or paper holder may cause a cutting error, print error, or paper transport error. Remove adhesive matter periodically (typically on a monthly basis). (11) If paper is left inserted in the printer for a long time, the paper may become deformed and result in thin (faint) printed characters.
  • Page 6 Notes on using the cutter (1) Note also that the paper length used per transaction must be at least 15mm. (2) The maximum number of successive cuts by the cutter is 30 cuts per minute (at least two seconds per cut). Using the cutter at a higher rate may cause a failure.
  • Page 7 Notes on using the printer through the USB interface (1) The printer must be connected directly to the host computer. (2) Before starting printing, turn on the power to the printer. (3) If a printer error occurs during printing, recover the printer from the error, and then retry printing.
  • Page 8 Note on installation (1) The printer must be used indoors. If used outdoors, the printer may fail because of dust. Note on the modular connector (1) This product uses a modular connector as a dedicated connector for the cash drawer or customer display terminal. The connector must not be connected with a connector that leads to a public switched line or other such destination.
