4.0 Operation
Once the C-56 thermal printer is connected to the power supply and the host's interface port, and the driver (if
needed) is installed, the printer is ready for use.
4.1 Start up of the System
Fig. 3 Connections of the thermal printer to the system
1.
The connection to power supply is to be done
exclusively by means of the supplied cable.
Make sure that the power supply is always
switched off before the connector is plugged in or
removed. The locking tab of the connector should
always be directed towards the paper insert side.
2.
Connect the a) mini - USB port of the printer
mechanism with a USB – interface, or b) micro -
RS232 port with a RS232 interface of your PC,
using the supplied USB / RS232 cable.
On USB, Windows will then automatically
recognize the new connected device and install
the appropriate driver software.
3.
Install the driver software on the host system (PC).
Please, consider the coordination of the drivers with
the operating systems and respect the current
instructions supplied together with the drivers.
4.2 Loading of Paper
Please only use paper of the recommended quality. Thermal paper with other specifications or poorer
quality may reduce the service life of the thermal printhead considerably and will invalidate the printer's
warranty.
Fig. 4 Loading of the paper roll
1.
Pull the protective sheathing from the paper roll
and cut the paper end at right angles to the
direction of feed as far as possible. Truncated,
lacerated or folded paper edges can produce a
paper jam during automatic insertion. Also
perforations of the paper web or rounded edges
are not acceptable.
2.
Lay the paper roll into the paper tray as shown in
the illustration. The thermal sensitive paper surface
must be situated outside or on top.
3.
Insert the paper into the printer mechanism. As
soon as the sensor in the paper guide detects
paper, the controller starts the automatic paper
insertion.
4.
Cut off the paper appearing in the eject chute by
pulling it straight out.
