1.6 Sensors 1.6.1 Paper Sensors 1.6.1.1 Receipt section ❏ Paper roll near-end sensor: • The sensor is located on the roll paper supply device on the receipt section. It detects the near-end of the paper roll by detecting the paper roll diameter. You can adjust the sensor. See Chapter 5 for details on adjustment. • When the printer detects a paper near-end, it either stops or continues printing, depending on the Paper sensor command setting. • When the sensor is selected to stop printing and the sensor detects a paper near-end, the printer automatically goes offline after printing the current line. To restart printing, load the paper and set the printer back online by closing the printer cover. The printer starts initializing and continues printing data stored in the print buffer. ❏ Paper roll end sensor: • The paper roll end sensor is located in the paper path on the receipt section. It detects the presence of paper in the paper path of the printer mechanism. • When there is no paper in the paper path, the PAPER OUT LED lights. • When the sensor detects a paper end, printing stops even if it is in the middle of one transaction; therefore, it is recommended to use the paper roll near-end sensor and use the paper end sensor as a supplement. 1.6.1.2 Slip section ❏ TOF (Top of Form) sensor: The slip TOF sensor is located in the slip paper path and detects the presence of slip paper in the paper path. The SLIP LED lights accordingly. ❏ BOF (Bottom of Form) sensor: • The sensor is located in the slip entrance and detects whether the paper is inserted correctly and whether it is removed or not. The printer does not proceed to the next operation until the paper has been inserted correctly or removed. (The SLIP LED continues blinking.) • When the printer detects a paper end, it either stops or continues printing depending on the Paper sensor command setting. • When the sensor is selected to stop printing, the sensor detects a paper-end and the printer prints data up to the end of the printable area, ejects the slip when all the next print data is transmitted, and then waits for the slip to be removed. After the slip is removed, the printer enters the paper insertion waiting state. 1-20 General Information Rev. A

Sensors

1.6.1

Paper Sensors

1.6.1.1

Receipt section

Paper roll near-end sensor:

•

The sensor is located on the roll paper supply device on the receipt section. It detects the

near-end of the paper roll by detecting the paper roll diameter. You can adjust the

sensor. See Chapter 5 for details on adjustment.

•

When the printer detects a paper near-end, it either stops or continues printing,

depending on the Paper sensor command setting.

•

When the sensor is selected to stop printing and the sensor detects a paper near-end, the

printer automatically goes offline after printing the current line. To restart printing, load

the paper and set the printer back online by closing the printer cover. The printer starts

initializing and continues printing data stored in the print buffer.

Paper roll end sensor:

•

The paper roll end sensor is located in the paper path on the receipt section. It detects the

presence of paper in the paper path of the printer mechanism.

•

When there is no paper in the paper path, the PAPER OUT LED lights.

•

When the sensor detects a paper end, printing stops even if it is in the middle of one

transaction; therefore, it is recommended to use the paper roll near-end sensor and use

the paper end sensor as a supplement.

1.6.1.2

Slip section

TOF (Top of Form) sensor: The slip TOF sensor is located in the slip paper path and detects

the presence of slip paper in the paper path. The SLIP LED lights accordingly.

BOF (Bottom of Form) sensor:

•

The sensor is located in the slip entrance and detects whether the paper is inserted

correctly and whether it is removed or not. The printer does not proceed to the next

operation until the paper has been inserted correctly or removed. (The SLIP LED

continues blinking.)

•

When the printer detects a paper end, it either stops or continues printing depending on

the Paper sensor command setting.

•

When the sensor is selected to stop printing, the sensor detects a paper-end and the

printer prints data up to the end of the printable area, ejects the slip when all the next

print data is transmitted, and then waits for the slip to be removed. After the slip is

removed, the printer enters the paper insertion waiting state.
