How to use
Install the printer on a stable, level surface near the POS terminal or computer. Connect the power supply and select the appropriate communication cable for your system—USB for most modern devices or RS232 for legacy terminals—then install the provided or compatible driver on the host device. Open the top cover, insert a thermal paper roll with the paper edge positioned correctly for printing, and close the cover. Use the host application to configure page width and character set, then perform a test print to confirm correct operation.
Usage recommendations
For reliable long-term performance, use good-quality thermal paper designed for 80 mm receipt printers, avoid exposure of the printer head to unnecessary pressure or contaminants, and schedule periodic checks of connections and paper path. When using RS232 connections, verify serial port settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits) to match the host system.
