1 Connect the power and communication cables to the connector in accordance with the pin-out
description in the table in
“Printer Connector Pin-out” on page 4-5 and Figure 4-7 on page 4-5 .
2 Connect the connector to the printer connector located on the printer rear panel (see Figure 4-3
on page 4-3 ).
Paper Roll Replacement
General
The printer module is a thermal printer and uses thermal printer paper only. The printer is
equipped with two sensors for paper usage alerts as follows:
• Low paper sensor - warns when there is approximately 25% of the paper roll left
• End paper sensor - warns when printer paper runs out completely
Replacing Paper Roll
This procedure applies when the printer is online and connected to a power source. In that
state, the printer pulls the paper automatically and cuts it when paper feeding is completed.
To replace the printer paper roll, proceed as follows:
1 Open the printer front panel. The front panel lock is an electro mechanic lock (solenoid type)
that can be opened from the station controller.
2 Release the green locking handle (see Figure 4-11 ) and release the printer (see Figure 4-12

on page 4-11 ).
