Pressing the paper feed button when the printer is idle advances paper at typically two inches per second, depending
on the battery voltage. However, the paper feed button has several additional functions:
A single press and release of the button:
in idle or spooling mode, advances paper;
in sleep mode, wakes up the printer into idle mode;
"Double-clicking" the button: (i.e. pressing and releasing twice in quick succession just like a PC mouse)
in idle mode, prints a self test message including the firmware version, encoded calibration data, and the
full character set;
in spooling mode, or having been out of paper, prints any stored data and enters idle mode.
Some of the functions of the paper feed button can be invoked or disabled under control of the host.
LOADING PAPER
The procedure for loading paper is as follows:
1.
Slide the Lid Release Button forwards until the Lid springs open.
Unwind a small amount of paper from the roll and Insert the Paper Roll into the Printer.
2.
3.
Close the Lid down, and the paper is loaded.
After loading, check that the paper advances properly, and tear off any excess by pulling the paper sharply towards
you across the serrated tear bar. In the event of a jam or other paper loading problem, release the lid and straighten
the paper before closing again.
PAPER OUT AND PAPER LID SENSORS
A reflective optical Paper Out sensor within the mechanism detects an out-of-paper condition, and/or senses black
marks to register with pre-printed forms. A mechanical sensor detects when the paper lid is open.
By default, the printer enters Spooling mode automatically if either sensor becomes active. Spooling mode is
automatically exited, and any stored data printed, when new paper is loaded and the lid closed. This behavior may
be modified. Please refer to the Programmers' Manual for details of how to configure these functions.
