4. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING  
4.1 Setting/Replacing the paper roll  
1. Lift the cover open lever.  
2. Open the printer cover.  
3. Insert a paper roll with its print area facing down  
as shown in the figure and pull out the paper  
end straightforward by several cm out of the  
printer.  
4. Firmly close the printer cover until a click can  
be heard. With the factory setting, the paper is  
fed and cut automatically.  
See 5.3 Manual Setting of Memory Switch  
CAUTION!  
Always use the specified types of paper roll.  
Confirm that the paper roll is set correctly.  
When the paper is skewed and not extended straightforward from under the printer  
cover, open the printer cover and adjust the paper correctly.  
When the cover is opened after paper setting, be sure to pull the paper straightforward  
by several cm out of the printer, and then close the cover.  
When closing the printer cover, press on the center part of the cover to close it firmly.  
When setting paper, be careful not to have your finger injured by the paper edge.  
WARNING  
When opening the printer cover, DO NOT touch the print head or cutter blade. Otherwise,  
burning or injury of hand may result.  
4.2 Removing Jammed Paper  
1. Turn the POS terminal power off.  
2. Open the printer cover.  
If the cutter blade remains protruded with paper jammed, do not open the  
printer cover forcibly. Referring to section 4.4, restore the blade to the normal  
position and then open the cover.  
3. Remove the jammed paper including any paper chips remaining.  
4. Turn on the POS terminal. The auto cutter mechanism is initialized and the  
alarm is cleared.  
CAUTION!  
If the cutter blade remains protruded with paper jammed, DO NOT open the printer  
cover forcibly. If the cutter blade cannot be restored, contact your Citizen Systems  
dealer.  
The print head is hot immediately after printing. DO NOT touch it with your hand. DO  
NOT touch the heating element of the head with a bare hand or metal object either.

4.5 Hexadecimal Dump Printing  
This function is to print all received data in hexadecimal numbers. If problems  
such as missing data, data duplication, etc. should occur, this function allows  
checking whether or not the printer is receiving data correctly.  
Set paper to the printer and keep the printer cover open. With the FEED button  
pressed and held, turn the printer power on and then close the printer cover.  
The printer prints “HEX dump print mode” followed by the received data printed  
in hexadecimal numbers and some characters.  
CAUTION!  
The printer prints “.” if there is no characters corresponding to data.  
During hexadecimal dump, functions except some command will be disabled.  
If print data DOES NOT cover a line, press the FEED button to print the line.  
When you press the FEED button three times consecutively, or you turn the  
printer power off, or the printer receives a reset signal from the interface, the  
hexadecimal dump printing is terminated.

4.6 Error Indication  
Paper end  
Paper empty is detected in two steps: paper near-end and paper end. It causes the  
ERROR LED to light. If paper end is detected, refill the paper. If the printer cover is  
open, a paper-end is detected.  
Printer cover open  
During printing, do not open the printer cover. If you open the printer cover  
accidentally, the ERROR LED blinks. Check the paper, pull the paper straightforward  
by several cm out of the printer, and then close the printer cover. Printing resumes  
automatically. Sending a command to resume printing may be required depending  
on the memory switch setting.  
Thermal head overheat  
When you print dense characters or dark image, the head temperature rises. If the  
head temperature exceeds a specified level, the printer stops printing operation  
and waits till the head temperature is lowered. During waiting, the ERROR LED  
blinks. When the head temperature is lowered, printing resumes automatically.

Manual Setting of Memory Switch (Memory SW)  
The memory switch can be selected, changed, or written by the combination of  
three actions: pressing the FEED button, pressing and holding the FEED button,  
and opening or closing the printer cover.  
1. Entering memory switch setting mode.  
Set paper to the printer and keep the printer cover open. With the FEED  
button pressed and held, turn the printer power on, and then press the  
FEED button twice. Close the cover. If the current settings of the memory  
switch etc. are printed, the printer is now in the memory switch setting  
mode.  
0: OFF state  
1: ON state  
Memory SW (1) 00000000  
(No indication for 0/1 with memory switch 7-10)  
— 25 —  
 
2. Selecting memory switch  
When the FEED button is pressed short (within 2 seconds), printing occurs  
in the order of “Memory SW1” “Memory SW2” “Memory SW3” →  
......“Memory SW10” “Save To Memory” “Memory SW1” ......  
repeatedly. When the memory switch you want to change is reached,  
press and hold the FEED button (for more than 2 seconds).  
3. Selecting each switch item  
3-8 items are provided for setting in each switch. By pressing and holding  
the FEED button long, the printer goes to the next item and prints the  
current setting of the item. Repeat pressing and holding till the item you  
want to change is reached.  
OFF state: ERROR LED OFF  
ON state: ERROR LED ON  
Power ON Info (Valid  
)
(With memory switch 7-10, ERROR LED goes on only at the factory setting.)  
4. Changing the setting  
When the item you want to change is printed, press the FEED button short.  
The changed set value is printed. (When change of set value is repeated,  
the original set value is recovered). When you press the FEED button long,  
the set value is accepted and then the printer goes to the next setting item.  
5. Returning to the memory switch select mode  
When the setting of the desired content is completed, open the printer  
cover and then close the printer cover. This allows the printer to print the  
setting of the changed memory switch.  
6. Saving the setting and exiting the memory switch setting mode  
Press the FEED button short to move to “Save To Memory”. Then press  
and hold the FEED button. The printer prints the content of new setting  
and exits the memory switch setting mode to return to the normal standby  
state.  
* Unless saving the setting is executed, the changed setting cannot be  
enabled.  
7. Initializing the memory switch  
When you want to return the memory switch setting to the initial state, go  
to “Save To Memory” in the above procedure. Here, open the printer  
cover and press and hold the FEED button till buzzer sounds. This allows  
the printer to return to the initial state.  
* All the memory switches settings are returned to the factory set values.
