INTRODUCTION This manual describes how to handle edito KSM thermal printers (hereinafter referred to as printer), specified AC adapters, specified AC cables, and other accessories. Read through the "2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS" and "3. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS" carefully before using the printer, and handle it safely and properly. Keep this manual in a place where it can be accessed quickly.
Handling precautions DANGEROUS If following instructions are not followed, this leads to fire, electric shock or to an accident. Do not insert any foreign objects such as a piece of metal or any liquid into the products. Do not touch the metal parts of the terminal, AC plug, and DC plug. To avoid short circuits, prevent terminals of the products, AC plug, and DC plug from touching any conductor such as metal.
Procedures to take when in trouble Follow the instructions in the cases below. Failure to follow the instructions may lead to fire, electric shock, or accident. In the following cases you switch off the electricity supply and you pull the power supply unit from the outlet: ◆...
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS Follow the precautions below to use the printer properly in order to deliver and maintain the full perfor- mance of the printer. Using the Printer ◆ Be careful not to drop or bump the printer on a hard surface. ◆...

Cleaning the thermal head The thermal head should be cleaned from time to time, to keep the surface of the thermal-head-line free from paper dust and other particles (e.g. small paper snippets) to get a good heat transfer from heat elements to the paper.

Diameter of the Paper roll Axis of paper roll core Diameter of the paper roll >130mm Diameter of the Paper roll ≤130mm Adjust roll core on paper width Slide the paper core in the paper roll.
Attach paper arm The paper arm is separately in the package and must be attached to the paper guide on the two screws. The paper arm can be mounted on the paper guide left or right. This makes it possible to insert the paper roll from the left or right.

Paper Output Module The way of the paper is monitored after printing continuously with sensors up to the bezel. If the paper output is hindered, the paper forms a loop upwards, moves a flap and printing will be stopped. If the paper way is free again, the flap falls back and it is further printed.
Presenter & Retract Module This describes two different module: 1 Presenter module KSM347P 2 Retractor module KSM347R (is including presenter) For module KSM347P/R: The ticket is held after printing inside the Presenter module. Two optical sensors detect the exact position of the ticket. Is the first edge of the ticket before or after the counter rolls? Function: If a ticket is printed and the first edge is short before the counter rolls (LS1), the drive roller begins to turn so long as LS2 detect the ticket edge.
8.4.1 Retract Function Only for Retract Version KSM347R: For the present function, it is the same functionality as for the Presenter module. The Retract module has the same size as the Presenter module, so you can install easily one type or the other type in the same application.
8.4.2 Function internal print Only for Retract Version KSM347R. For internal printing, the mechanical switch plate (called switch) is driven by motor and open the paper channel to print direct in the collection basket under the printer. After printing, the switch comes back under it’s own weight.
Paper Holder with flex paper channel The paper holder with flex paper channel is inserted into a horizontal slot at the back of the printer. From the bottom of the printer, the bracket is firmly fixed through a spacer bolt. This will also be used to securely fix the complete printer on the base plate.
Paper arm The whole paper arm can be mounted on the right as well as on the left side to the flex paper channel. For change, remove 2 screws (A) (see also 5.3 Attach paper arm) and mount the arm at the opposite side with the same screws.
Black mark- und Paper end sensor (LS14&LS5) Inside the holder is a black mark sensor (LS14) and a paper end sensor (LS5) integrated. The Black mark must be on the ticket backside. Sensitive wavelength 700 to 1200nm The reflectivity should be <4%. Here Print direction Thermal sensitive layer...
Paper near end Sensor (LS7) The paper near end sensor can be adjusted infinitely in the paper arm for setting when the paper near end status signal will be generated. Put the sensor not too near to the role end, so that swing of the role cannot release the signal uninten- tionally.

The Print engine itself but has been tested with the following papers.
11.5.1 Setting the print density Print density regarding default paper in range 70-120 (%), default 100 (%), determine this setting at 25° Celsius. This settings can done with the ePOSConfig program or by driver setup. Refer edito pro- gramming or driver manual. Print density negative temperatures factor regarding default paper in range 40-90 (%), default 60 (%).
