Digital output examples.
The transistor's output capability is: Vco = 45V , I
C
= 100mA. Values beyond this absolute
maximum ratings could result in a permanent damage of the device.
5 – BASIC OPERATIONS
5.1.
PAPER LOADING
There are mainly two ways of loading paper: automatic and manual. In any case, before starting
the paper load sequence, please make sure the paper roll has been placed in the right way.
5.1.1- Automatic paper loading
1. Make sure the TS1700 is power supplied.
2. Remove any rest of paper if there is any
3. Make sure that the platen is closed.
4. Make sure the paper end is cut in a straight way.
5. Thread the paper roll with the right orientation as shown in the next figure. The thermal paper
has only one printing side (thermal side). If there are doubt about which one is the printing side,
just scratch the paper and the thermal side will show up the track on.
6. Once the printer has detected the paper, it will automatically start the paper load sequence
which consist of feeding few millimeters of paper at a very low speed. Note: running at low
speed, the motor will be noisier.
