When to replace paper 
Whenever the printer gives paper out signal or a red line 
appears on the thermal paper, it is the proper timing for replacing 
the paper. Do not wait till the print engine is dragging the paper 
roll at the very end. Remove the leftover and replace a new paper 
roll as illustrated above to prevent excessive paper dust in the 
printer and consequently possibility for paper jam.

Serial connection 
All the external connectors are in the recessed area at the 
rear bottom. The serial connector is a 9 pin D sub Female 
connector at the right in the picture above. Apply the male 
connector of RS232 cable to this port for serial application. Please

connection at the parallel port on the printer. The default protocol

the leftmost location in the connector area. Apply the female end 
of the parallel cable at this port for parallel application. Please
