1. UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
1-1. Unpacking
After unpacking the unit, check that all the necessary accessories are included in
the package.
Fig. 1-1 Unpacking
1-2. Handling Notes
1. Install the unit on a stand or table which has a flat, even surface.
2. Do not connect the AC power plug to the same outlet used for other electrical
noise generating devices (such as an electrical motor, etc.)
IMPORTANT!
Install the printer near an easily accessible socket-outlet.
3. Be careful not to drop paper clips, pins or other foreign objects into the unit
as these could cause the printer to malfunction.
4. When cleaning the outer surface of the unit, wipe away dirt, foreign matter,
etc., with a soft cloth, soaked in a neutral detergent.
5. Do not attempt to print when the paper or ribbon cartridge are not loaded in
the printer as this could damage the print head.
6. Use only roll paper that is not glued to the core.
7. Do not open the front cover while printing (this is interpreted as a mechanical
error and the printer will stop).

NOTE: Take special care when following the procedures listed below.
A ferrite core is necessary on the printer interface cable to prevent the
generation of noise. If a parallel interface cable is used, a ferrite core must be
installed on the cable. If a serial intserface cable is used, a ferrite core must be
installed on the cable for all areas, except the US and Hong Kong.
The ferrite core is normally packed so it is open, as shown in Fig 3-2. If you
find that a ferrite core is not open, use a pointed object to pry the plastic lock
of the ferrite core apart (Fig 3-1). When you do, take care not to damage the
ferrite core or the plastic lock.
Pass fastener through ferrite core.

ENGLISH
To install the interface cable ferrite core
Clamp the ferrite core onto the interface cable as shown in Fig 3-2.
Take care to avoid damaging the interface cable when installing the ferrite
core. The ferrite core should be anchored firmly in place with the fastener that
comes with it, as shown in Fig 3-3 and 3-4.
Fig. 3-5
To install the cash drawer drive cable ferrite core (except for
US, HK)
Clamp the ferrite core onto the cash drawer drive cable, looping the cable as
shown in Fig. 3-2.
When installing the ferrite core be careful not to damage the cable.
The ferrite core should be anchored firmly in place with the fastener that
comes with it, as shown in Fig. 3-3 and Fig. 3-4.
Do not forget to loop the cable.
Separate ground wire re-
quired except for US, HK.

4. CONNECTING THE INTERFACE CABLE
1 Turn off power for both the host
computer and the printer.
2 Insert the connector of the interface
cable into the connector on the
printer and the other end of the in-
terface cable into the connector for
the host computer.
3 Next, tighten the screws on the con-
nectors.

cable
1 Turn off the power for both the host
computer and the printer.
2 Insert one connector of the interface
cable into the printers connector
and fasten it with the clasp, as shown
in Fig. 4-2.
3 Insert the other terminal of the inter-
face cable into the host computers
connector, and fasten it with the
clasp.
