-Ethernet Interface SIGNAL Data Out + Output Data + Data Out - Output Data - Ground Data IN + Input Data + Data IN - Input Data - 3.4 Drawer Kick-out Connector (Modular Connector) The pulse specified by ESC p or DLE DC4 is output to this connector. The host can confirm the status of the input signal by using the DLE EOT, GS a, or GS r commands.

CAUTION: To avoid an over current situation, the resistance of the drawer kick-out solenoid must be 24 Ω or more. Output waveform: The output shown in Figure 3.2 are inputs to points A and B in Figure 3.3 t1 (ON time) and t2 (OFF time) are specified by ESC p or DLE DC4.
Switch and LED Functions 1. FEED Button Press to feed paper manually; release to stop feeding. 2. Paper Status When both Error and Paper LEDs are on, printer is out of paper. When both Error and Paper LEDs are off, printer has paper. When only the Paper LED is on, paper is low.
6. Dip Switch Setting the Dip Switch An 8 position DIP switch is located on the bottom of the printer unit. Gently turn the printer over and use a small Philips screw driver to remove the cover. By changing the switch positions you can modify the default setting for various functions such as cutter mode, character set, beeper, printer speed etc.

Self Test You can perform a self test to determine the default settings and obtain the printer revision number. First, make sure the printer is turned off and then while pressing the Paper Feed button turn the printer on. The printer starts printing its factory setting. Example Only Code Page Setting: Refer to the Self Test page code details, for example:...
