1. Attach the appropriate cable between the printer and
your host device. The connector on the printer side is
“keyed” so that you cannot plug the cable in the
wrong way. This means that the pins should be
positioned so that a slight pressure will seat the cable
properly. Do not force the pins in. Doing so could
damage the cable.
2. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer. Plug
the transformer into an appropriate AC outlet. The
unit will power up automatically and print R
R R R Ready eady eady eady eady. This
means the printer is ready to print.
The Paper Feed switch on the printer is a rocker type
switch. Push the left side of the rocker switch to toggle
the printer on and offline. Push the right side of the switch
to advance the paper.
Your printer is now ready for printing.
The printer stores characters for printing until one of two
things happens:
1. Its line buffer is filled.
2. It receives a line feed (hexadecimal 0A) or a carriage
return (hexadecimal 0D) code.
When (1) or (2) occurs, the printer prints out the contents
of its line buffer. If the buffer is empty when the carriage
return is received, the printer simply advances the paper
one line, leaving a blank line in the printout.
Maintenance
When printing becomes faint or difficult to see, replace
the ribbon in your printer with an Epson ERC-09 cartridge
ribbon.
