z USB power supply OFF (When memory switch MSW6-3 is set to ON) (Except for
liner-free model) When the printer is connected to a PC by USB, turning off PC
power or terminating the USB connection causes printer USB power to turn off
three seconds later. This mode is canceled when the PC is turned back on or
when a USB connection is established.
CAUTION
The POWER LED is unlit when USB power supply is OFF, and the power OFF state
cannot be identified.
Pressing POWER while USB power is off does not turn on power immediately.
After a while, USB power supply OFF is canceled and pressing POWER turns on
power normally.
z Paper saving functions Memory switches MSW8-3 through MSW8-5 can be used to
configure the settings below, which save paper. · Top margin suppression
(Except for liner-free model) The printer back feeds the paper before printing
which reduces the blank space at the top edge of the paper. The back feed
amount can be specified. · Line gap reduce Automatically compresses the
linefeed amount between lines. The compression ratio can be specified. · Text
compression vertical/horizontal Makes the print size smaller. The compression
amount is specified by a combination of vertical and horizontal compression
ratios.
z Auto side shift (MSW8-6) This function dissipates heat load during frequent
heat generation by a vertical ruled line or other specific head heating
element. If no data is received within 15 seconds after each cut or print, the
print position is automatically slid N dots to the right. The original print
position is returned to at the next slide timing. N is the MSW8-6 setting
value.
— 18 —
CAUTION
Before configuring the top margin suppression setting, first remove any
partially cut paper from the printer. Failure to do so can cause the cut paper
to be torn off by the next print operation, which can cause printer trouble.
Note the following precautions when using text compression. · Compressed text
is more difficult to read than the original text. · Horizontally compressing
text also makes the print range smaller, so the number of print lines does not
change. Pay close attention to the print range when using narrow paper. · Do
not use compressed text when printing a bar code. Doing so may make the bar
code unreadable.
If the right margin is too narrow, this may result in some print characters
being cut off. This function is disabled under initial settings. To enable
this function, use MSW8-6 to specify an appropriate value for the maximum
slide amount.

CAUTION
Always use the specified types of paper rolls. Confirm that the paper roll is
set correctly. If the paper is skewed and not coming straight out of the paper
cover, open it and
straighten the paper. Always pull a few cm of paper (at least 5 cm for liner-
free paper) straight out of the
printer if you open the paper cover while paper is loaded. Press on the center
of the paper cover to close it securely. Be careful of paper cuts while
loading the paper. Do not touch the print head, manual cutter, or auto cutter
while the paper cover is
open. Doing so may cause a burn or cut. Make sure that the cutting operation
has finished before removing paper. If you try to
remove paper during a cutting operation, the paper may tear or be jammed. If
some liner-free labels have been left on the printer for a long time, about 24
hours,
then before you start using the printer, remove the labels and then set them
again. If the operating environment’s temperature has changed greatly, then
also before you start using the printer, remove the labels and then set them
again. Otherwise, the labels may stick to the print head or the platen, and
the paper may not feed normally. When you are using liner-free labels, print
them one by one, removing the ejected label before printing the next on. If
you continue to print without removing the cut labels, a paper jam may occur.
When the liner-free label is used, we recommend that the margin between the
end of printing and the cut position be 5 mm or more. When you are using
liner-free labels, 40 mm or longer should be taken as the minimum print
length. On the liner-free model, to prevent malfunction, the first cutting
length after the power is turned on or a certain time has elapsed may be
longer than the original cutting length. On the liner-free model, to prevent
the paper sticking to the thermal head or the platen, the printer may feed or
back feed the paper while waiting data.

3.17 Installing a Driver
Drivers are included on the CD-ROM that comes with the printer. Install the
driver required by your printer. For information about driver installation,
functions, and operations, see the information provided on the CD-ROM for each
driver. Visit the site below to download the latest driver versions and
information. http://www.citizen-
systems.co.jp/english/support/download/printer/driver/
3.18 Precautions for Creating Applications and Practical Operations
If printing is done immediately after the paper is partially cut and torn off,
the top of the next print out may be distorted. We recommend advancing the
paper one line after cutting before printing. If you are using a serial
interface that has a slow data transmission speed, streaks may appear in the
printouts when you are printing graphics or gradated text, which require large
amounts of data. USB interfaces may be susceptible to the effects of
electromagnetic interference from the host or environment. If this is the
case, try using a cable with ferrite cores on both ends, which are very
effective at eliminating EMI.
— 45 —
4. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
4.1 Periodic Cleaning
A dirty print head or platen may reduce printing quality or cause
malfunctions. Also, if paper dust collects on the sensor’s protective sheet,
paper cannot be detected correctly. We recommend cleaning the printer
periodically (every 2 to 3 months) as shown below.
1. Turn off the power. 2. Press the cover open lever. 3. Open the paper
cover. Wait a few minutes until the print head cools. 4. Use a cotton swab
dampened with ethyl alcohol to wipe off any dirt and dust that is
on the print head and platen. 5. Use a cotton swab dampened with a little
water to wipe off the sensor’s protective
sheet. Make sure there are no water drops on the cotton swab before wiping.
Platen Print head
Sensor’s protective sheet
CAUTION
The print head is hot immediately after printing. Do not touch it. Do not
touch the print head with bare hands or metal objects. Do not use alcohol or
cleansers to clean the surface of the sensor’s protective sheet.
Doing so may fog the sensor’s protective sheet. Paper scraps may stick to the
platen when adhesive labels are full cut depending on
the printer’s environment, the diameter of the paper roll, and the quality of
the label backing.
— 46 —
Liner-free model A dirty print head, platen, or inside of the printer may

4.7 Paper Jams
Take care to avoid obstruction of the paper outlet and paper jamming around
the outlet during printing. If paper cannot get out of the printer, it can
roll up on the platen inside the printer and cause an error. If the paper
wraps around the platen, open the paper cover and carefully pull the paper
out.
4.8 Serial Interface Operation Precautions
While using the serial interface, certain printing conditions can cause white
stripes in printouts and feed failure. To avoid these problems, change memory
switch settings as described below.
1. Change MSW7-1 (serial baud rate) to a faster baud rate setting. 2. Change
MSW10-2 (print speed) to a lower level.
CAUTION
Depending on the serial interface transmission speed, ambient temperature,
print data duty, and other factors, changing the above settings may not
eliminate the problems.

Note: 1: If print data is very dense, the print head is hot, data
transmission is slow, or some other conditions,
the motor and printing may occasionally stop which causes white stripes in the
printout. To print high-density data, set MSW2-3 (Spool Print) to ON to reduce
striping, although this increases the time before printing starts. For a
serial interface, increase the transmission speed to prevent the motor from
stopping. 2: The values for memory switches MSW7-X are only effective when
DIP switch no. 1 is set to OFF. 3: Liner-free model specifications 4: For
liner-free model, partial cut only
