OPERATION MANUAL

Error Details
Cover open:
When the printer cover is opened, the cover open sensor detects it, causing the ERROR lamp to
turn ON and printing to stop.
Head overheat:
In order to protect the print head from overheating, the head temperature sensor functions as the
temperature of the head increases (approx.65C or more). At this time, the ERROR lamp lights
up and printing is stopped. When the temperature of the head is decreased (approx.60C or less),
the printer resumes the operation automatically.
Paper near end:
When the diameter of the roll paper is getting less, the paper near end sensor provided to the
upper cover works, causing the ERROR lamp to light up to indicate the roll paper is running low.
Paper end:
When the printer has run out of the roll paper, the paper sensor in the paper path near the print
head detects the end of the roll paper, causing the ERROR lamp to come on and printing to stop.
Cutter motor lock:
If the cutter position sensor inside the cutter unit remains ON or OFF for more than 1 second
while the cutter motor is running, the motor is determined to be locked, and the cutter and the
printer are stopped.
Low voltage:
This error occurs if the voltage supplied to the printer is low. Turn power OFF immediately after
the error has occurred.
High voltage:
This error occurs if the voltage supplied to the printer is high. Turn power OFF immediately after
the error has occurred.

1. Turn ON the printer.

2. Hold the printer cover by the concavities on the both sides and open the cover until it stops.
3. Cut the end of the roll paper nearly at a right angle. Turn ON the printer.
4. Check the winding orientation of the roll paper and put it to the roller of the upper cover.
5. Close the printer cover with the end of the roll paper pulled out to the end of the upper cover so that the
roll paper fits in between the platen levers on both sides. This draws the roll paper in the printer and takes
it out from the paper outlet automatically.
6. Cut the paper coming out of the paper outlet.

=REMARKS=
Be sure to use only the designated roll paper.
For use of other roll paper, expected printing quality or service life cannot be assured.
Pull out the end of the roll paper up to the end of the upper cover.
Do not let it exceed the end of the upper cover nor pull it out too short.
Doing so can cause the end of the roll paper to be folded when it comes out of the paper outlet.
If the roll paper is slanted, pull the platen lever toward you and correct the position of the roll paper.
Do not open the printer cover during printing.
If the roll paper fails to come out of the paper outlet, check the end of the roll paper for proper shape
and set it again. If paper dust is adhering on the surface of the platen roller for use over the long terms,
the paper may not come out. In such a case, wipe off the surface of the platen roller clean with a soft
cloth dampened with ethyl alcohol.

OPERATION MANUAL

If the roll paper does not come out from the paper outlet, the following procedure can also be used to
set the paper.
1) Press the FEED switch while the end of the roll paper is inserted straight between the platen roller
and the head, the roll paper is drawn by the platen roller and is brought to the auto cutter.
(The paper is fed slightly from the paper outlet.)
2) Close the printer cover. The paper is continuously fed by several lines and is automatically cut.
Then printing is enabled. Remove any excess cut roll paper.

Search Mark along Spiral
If a mark recognition error has occurred, the area around the mark (approx. 1 mm from the mark
coordinates) will be automatically checked for mark. If a mark is found, operation will be resumed.
If no mark is found, the machine will operate according to the setting of Mark Recognition Error (Stop / Skip /
No Adjust) in Operation Data.
= = Refer to Ref. / MACHINE SETUP / Operation Data Setting / [Condition 1] for the setting of mark
recognition error.
Yes:
Performs Search Mark along Spiral.
Used when mark recognition error is likely to occur due to variation in board stop position during board
loading.

Performs actual production.
Evaluation: Transfers/mounts PC boards without picking up components.
7.5.5
Evaluation Condition
Sets the operating conditions in the evaluation mode.

H Moving:
Moves each head down to the normal level when picking up or mounting components.
Performs operation similar to actual production and used for evaluating PCB production time and
aging.
=HINT=
In the evaluation mode, the tape feeders will not feed.
Therefore, PCB production time will be shortened slightly.
Make use of PCB production time in this mode as a rough yardstick.
H Holding:
