Steps of Loading Thermal Paper Are as below:
Hold down the upper cover button on the left side, open the movable upper cover and put the paper roll into it, draw a certain length of the paper roll, put the paper end on the print head, close the upper cover and press it downwards lightly.
Caution!

1. Pay attention to the direction of loading paper, make the printing surface face to the print head.
2. Please don’t feed or draw the paper forwards or backwards with hands.
3. Keep clean of the print head, avoid to influence the printing quality.

2.2.2 Solution to Paper Jam
If cutter jam, turn off the power, and turn on again, the cutter will be back to original position. If paper jam, open the paper cover, and take out the paper. If the cutter can not be back to the original position, open the cover of it, and turn the white plastic gear by the direction suggestive on the cutter by hand to make the cutter be back to the original position.
2.3 Interface
2.3.1 Serial Interface

The pin assignment of serial interface is shown in Fig. 2-3:

Pin No.| Signal Name| Signal Direction| Source| Description
---|---|---|---|---
1| FG| | | Cover ground
2| TXD| Output| Printer| Printer transmits control code X-ON/X-OFF and data to host
3| RXD| Input| Host| Printer receives data from host
4| RTS| Output| Printer| The same with 20pins DTR signal
6| DSR| Input| Host| Signal “MARK’ means the host is busy and can not receive data. Signal “SPACE” means the host is ready to receive data.
7| GND| | | Signal Ground
20| DTR| Output| Printer| Signal ‘MARK” means the host is busy and can not receive data. Signal “SPACE” means the host is ready to receive data.

Fig. 2-3 The pin assignment of serial interface
Note: (1)“Source” denotes the source that signal come from;
(2)Logical signal level is EIA.
The baud rate and data structure in serial interface mode is 9600bps, 8-bit data bits, no parity bit and 1 stop bit.
The serial interface of SP-POS88Ⅴ can be connected to standard RS-232C interface. When it is connected to IBM PC or its compatible machine, connection can accord to Fig.2-4.

2.3.2 Parallel Interface
The parallel interface of POS88Ⅴprinter is compatible with CENTRONICS, supports BUSY or ACK handshaking protocol, which uses 36pin CENIRONICS socket (female) The pin assignment of DB25 parallel interface is as Fig. 2-5 shows:

respectively ,each signal is at HIGH level when data is logic 1, and LOW when data is logic 0.
3| D2| In|
4| D3| In|
5| D4| In|
6| D5| In|
7| D6| In|
8| D7| In|
9| D8| In|
10| ACK| Out| Answer pulse, low level signal indicates that data have already been received and the printer gets ready to receive the next data.
11| BUSY| Out| HIGH level signal indicates that the printer is BUSY and can not receive data.
12| PE| Out| HIGH level signal indicates that paper is end.
13| SEL| Out| Pulling up to HIGH level signal by a resistor
17| FG| —| Signal Cover
18| Logic-H| —| Logic “1” level

2.3.3 Cash Drawer Interface
The cash drawer interface of POS-POS88 Ⅴ adopts RJ-11 6-pin socket, as Fig.2-7 shows:

The pin assignment is as below:

2.3.4 Power Connection
POS88Ⅴuses the external power supply adopter as 24V±10％ 、2A, power socket is A-1009-3P model, as Fig. 2-10 shows:

The pin assignment is as below:

2.4 Buttons and Indicators
There is one button and three indicators on POS88 Ⅴ printer.【FEED】is paper feeding button, the function of its enabling or disabling the button on/off can be set by print command, when the button is enabled, press 【FEED 】 button, then the paper presenting driver starts up and paper feed into the printer; release 【FEED 】 button, paper feeding stops. The green POWER light is the power indicator, red ERROR light is status indicator, it is dark when the printer works normally, while it flashes when reporting an abnormal emergency, as the following form shows:
When any error shown above occurs, pin “nFault” of parallel change to “0” level, and send 1 bit wrong code through serial TXD by itself, it can also send out the printer state by answer the ESC v command.
Red indicator of “Paper Out ” is the paper out indicator. When there is no paper in printer head, it will light, and it is off under normal status.
2.5 Self-test
The self-test will check the condition of printer, if the printer prints out the self-test receipt correctly, it means the printer works normally, except interface with host. Otherwise it needs to repair. The self-test will print out 96 ANK characters, default code page, name of Chinese Character library, interface setting and software version.
Way of self-test: hold down 【FEED】button and turn on the power, self-test begins automatically at this moment.
2.6 Hexadecimal Printing
Turn on the printer according to the step below, it will enter the mode of Hexadecimal Printing.

1. Open the cover ；
2. Hold down 【FEED】button,and connect with power；
3. Close the cover, the printer will print out 3 lines as below:
   Hexadecimal Dump To terminate hexadecimal dump, Press FEED button three times.

This means the printer has entered hexadecimal printing mode, and under this mode, all of the input will be printed out as hexadecimal number, feed one line with single-click of “FEED” button, after 3 times, it will print out “ Completed ”,and exit hexadecimal printing mode.
2.7 Parameter Setting
This function is for the setting of printer parameters.
Steps for setting parameters:
When printer power is off, open paper case cover firstly. Hold the【FEED】 button, then switch on the printer and release the【FEED】when the status indicator and paper-out indicator flash alternately. Then press the 【FEED】 twice and close the paper cover, printer enter the setting mode and print out the first set parameter and its default value. The details method of setting parameter can refer to Appendix A.
Steps for exiting of parameter setup:
Open paper case cover and press the【FEED】 button; then close paper case cover and release the 【FEED】 button. The printer will save the setup of parameters, exit setting mode and enter the normal working mode. The data will not be saved if turn off the printer directly.
2.8 Enter the program upgrade mode
When printer is power off,open paper case cover. Hold the【FEED】button, then switch on the printer and release the【FEED】when the status indicator and paper-out indicator flash alternately. Then press the 【FEED】for five times and close the paper cover, printer enter the program upgrade mode. At this time, the status indicator flash once a second.
Quick enter method:
Open the paper case cover firstly when printer is power off. Hold the 【FEED】 button and switch on the printer, then release the 【FEED】button quickly, then printer enter the program upgrade mode. At this time, the status indicator flash once a second.

Appendix A

This appendix is the method to set the printer parameter according to button operation.
Setting introduction: Press【Paper cover】button to choose setting,when press it once , the set become the next one and it will print the present set value; use 【FEED】button to set the set value, when press it once , the set become the next one and it will print the present set value.
General Setting:
