4.3) Printer Self Test
4.4) Driver Installation
This is to test whether the printer is working
properly or not and also checks the
printing quality, firmware version, and DIP
switch settings
1. Hold the ONLINE (*) button first and then
turn on the power at the same
time, release the button after around 1 second.
2. If the printer is working properly, it
should then automatically print the self-
testing result that indicating the firmware
version number, printer connection
type, English alphanumeric characters, and few
Taiwan fonts.
3. The test print will be ended with the
following message:
(*) For PRP-080II, please press FEED button.
The above procedure does
not test parallel or serial ports. Please use
communication utility such as
Windows HyperTerminal to test the printer
connection.
*** COMPLETED ***
Note:
1. To install the PRP-080 (*) driver, please
insert the bundled CD disk into the
CD-ROM drive.
2. In the CD-Rom menu, please go to Receipt
Printer > PRP-080 and double
click the setupEN 4.0.exe file to begin the
driver installation process and
follow the installation instructions.
3. Please choose the OS that matches with
your computer system and press
Next.
4. Please select PRP-080 Series for Install
Module. For Printer Port Setting, if
you are connecting the printer to PC COM ports
via RS-232 connection, the
FlowControl must be set to Hardware. Press
Finish when you done all the
setting to end installation.

5. Safety and Maintenance
5.1) Safety Information
5.2) Periodical Cleaning
5.3) Preventing Paper Jams
1. Do not touch the HEAD of printer with
anything.
2. Do not touch the cutter blade.
3. Only use the power supply that is come
along with the printer.
4. Do not bend the power cord excessively or
place any heavy objects onto it.
5. When connecting or disconnecting the plug,
always hold the plug- not the
cord.
6. Keep the desiccant out of children's
reach.
7. Use only approved accessories and do not
try to disassemble, repair or
remodel it for yourself.
8. Do not let water or other foreign objects
in the printer.
9. Install the printer on the stable
surface. -Choose a firm, level surface where
the printer will not be exposed to vibration.
10. Do not use the printer when it is out of
order. This can cause a fire or an
electrocution.
11. Do not connect a telephone line into the
peripheral drive connector.
12. We recommend that you unplug the printer
from the power outlet whenever
you do not plan to use it for long periods.
Printed characters may become partially unclear
due to accumulated paper dust
and dirt. To prevent such a problem, paper dust
collected in the paper holder
and paper transport section and on the surface
of the thermal head must be
removed periodically. Such cleaning is
recommended to be carried out once six
month or one million lines.
To remove blackish dust collected on the
surface of the thermal head, wipe it
with Isopropyl alcohol (IPA).
Use a soft cloth to remove paper dust from the
paper holder and paper
transport section.
The paper should not be touched during
printing. Shift the paper during paper
ejection may cause a feed failure or paper jam.
a. Cleaning the Thermal Head
b. Cleaning the Paper Holder
Note: The thermal head is
easy to damage, so clean it gently with a soft cloth.
Take sufficient care not to scratch it when
cleaning it.
5.4) Fixing Paper Jam
The Status LED (Red) on the printer control
panel will flash with beeps if paper
is jammed. Please follow the below instruction
to remove paper jam.
a. Switch the printer power off.
b. Open the printer cover by pushing the
Cover-Open button.
c. If the printer cover opens, removed the
jammed paper gently
And reinstall
the paper roll.
d.
, please restart the printer by switching
power off/on, and try again, if the cover is
still unable to open please follow
the instructions below:
1. Set the printer power OFF
2. Slide off the front cover to reveal
the auto cutter
3. Roll the little gear as shown until
the warning beeps is stopped.
e. Return the cutter to its home-position and
release or clean out the jammed
paper in inside the front cover. Open the top
cover, and then reinstall paper
roll.
(take care not to
touch the printer head.)
If the printer cover will not open
CAUTION:
Note:
Since working on the cutter may be dangerous,
be sure to turn off the printer
first.
Do not apply extreme force to open the front
cover to prevent damages to the
cutter. If the front cover will not open
properly, please contact your dealer.

NOTE: There may be
variations in printing after switching the mode of the
printing speed. To prevent this for logo
printing with ESC command,
using a downloaded bit image is recommended.
Change in printing
speed does not occur during down loaded bit
image printing. Printing
speed may be slower depending on the data
transmission speed and
the combination of control commands. Low
