2.12.2 Setting IP Address

1. Run NetFinder Software
Double click NetFinder.exe in the PC which connects the printer in the same LAN. The figure of the
software is shown as follows:
- 12 -
Button description:
Exit — Exit from the software
Search — Search printers in the same LAN
Assign IP — Modify the IP address and other settings for the specified printer.
2. Search printer
Click “Search” button in the main interface, the dialogue box appearing will begin searching
automatically and displays the status, listing a printer in the main interface if found. The time is
counting down in the progress bar (10s in total) and the search will finish as soon as the time is
over. If you need to go on searching, press “Search” button again.
If the printer still can not be found out when the network connection is correct and in the same
network, Please check whether the network fire wall on the PC is open or not. If there is a fire wall,
please close it temporarily, open it again after finishing searching and setting a printer completely.
3. Setting printer’s IP address

The printer’s information is listed in the main interface, the left side of which is the model and
- 13 -
description and the right is the IP and MAC address. What’s more, the assign mode
(dynamic/static) is noted behind the IP address.
1) Correlative description for IP address settings

In order to search and set printer’s IP address conveniently for the first time, the factory default
setting is DHCP mode which assigns IP address dynamically. If there is no DHCP server in the
connected LAN and printer is set to DHCP mode as well, then it will use the internal pre-set
address (IP: 10.0.0.1, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0) automatically.
It is suggested that printer’s IP set to static in actual usage, which can cut down the time when
initializing the Ethernet interface as the printer is turned on and prevent IP conflicts (The dynamic
address used in printer may conflict with another one). The network segment part of the IP
address and Subnet Mask must be the same as those of PC connecting with a printer. For
example, the address of working PC is 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 (IP/Subnet Mask), then which
of printer should be set to 192.168.0.x/255.255.255.0（x=2~254 and should avoid the IP in used. It
is not restricted for NetFinder to search printers in the same network but different segment parts
(can not stride gateway). Relative glossary of IP address may refer to corresponding information.
2) Setting printer’s IP address

Select the printer information to be modified (black frame appears), click “Assign IP” button. Set the
IP in the dialogue box appearing.
- 14 -
Check the “Use DHCP” if needed to assign dynamic address, the settings above will be disabled
automatically. Please make sure there is a DHCP server in the network, or the printer can not
receive an effective IP address.
When to specify static address, uncheck “Use DHCP” and fill in “IP address”, “Subnet Mask” and
“Default Gateway”. If there is no gateway in the network, fill 255.255.255.255 in the “Default
gateway”. “IP address” and “Subnet Mask” should obey the assigning rules of local LAN (Ethernet),
please enquire the administrator of networks which the printer connects to for more details.
Click “OK” to send address setting information to the specified printer. The printer takes response
after “Close this window on success” is checked, and then this dialogue is closed automatically.
Select “Reload Timer” then the software will wait for the printer’s response. Generally, printer will
take response in a circle time if network connection is correct.
Click “Cancel” if you abandon the modification.
Click “Search” in the main interface again to update printer information after modifying the printer’s
IP address.

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting
6.1 How to Solve the Problem

1. Printing speed is slow.
Press HIGH SPEED key and select Speed Mode.
LQ NORMAL
HIGH 3 HIGH 2 HIGH 1
LQ speed is slowest while the print quality is the best; HIGH 2 (Super high speed) is fastest while
the print quality is the worst. The printing speed and the print quality are related in inverse ratio.
“HIGH 3” is the printing mode based on “HIGH 2” using 15 CPI.
2. Printing is light.
Check the condition of ribbon cassette.
—— If the surface of ribbon becomes whitish, replace the cassette with a new one.
The head adjustment lever may be in the unproper position.
—— The head adjustment lever may be in the uncorrect position. Please adjust the head
adjustment lever.
When using multiply paper.
—— Select copy printing mode: press HIGH IMPACT key on the control panel, select the copy
item is on.
3. Paper jam.
The head adjustment lever may be in unproper position.
—— The head adjustment lever may be in the uncorrect position. Please adjust the head
adjustment lever.
—— Check whether there is paper or dust on the paper jam sensor which is on the tractor. If there
is, please clean it.
4. Paper skew occurs though paper is loaded correctly.

Check if there is any black dirty thing on the paper.
—— Turn the Paper Skew function off in the Menu Setup Mode.
5. The paper feed sensor can not detect the unproper position of the paper or the
printing home position.
The setting of the paper feed sensor or the paper edge sensor is not proper.
—— Please contact your dealer for assistance.
6. The printer can not detect paper out.

The printer continues printing even though paper is out, it may be caused by the unproper setting
of other menu items.
—— In the Menu Setup Mode, modify the page size and length then save the setting.
7. There is distance between the printed vertical or transverse lines
- 45 -
—— Modify the corresponding print direction in Menu Setup Mode.
—— Adjust the printer’s alignment (see details in Appendix A2).
8. Print the wrong characters.

The communicated transportation of the printer may be incorrect.
—— Check if the connection of the cable is correct or damaged.
Check if the control system of the computer and the data code are consistent with the printer
setting.
—— In the Menu Setup Mode, set the correct emulation according to the requirement.
The printing driver may be incorrect.
—— Please reinstall the printer driver correctly.
9. The printed result is not aligned.

The top of form margin and the bottom margin are not the same.
—— In the Menu Setup Mode, modify the parameter of the TOF ADJUST.
The left margin is not consistent with the right margin.
—— Adjust the paper guide position of the tractor.
—— In the Menu Setup Mode, modify the left and right margins’ parameters.
The tractor paper appears unaligned printing from the second page.
—— Page length setting may be incorrect, modify R.TR PG LGTH in Menu Setup Mode. Reset
the page length and make sure the page length setting is in the computer too.
10. Restore all the settings in the Menu Setup Mode to the factory default settings.
EEPROM Initialization 1 —— Restore the settings to the factory default settings.

light blinks.
HEAD The print head becomes too hot during high-density printing. When this
PROTECTION message is displayed, the printing speed is reduced (from bidirectional
printing to unidirectional printing) or printing stops (the print head move
transversely but print nothing). When the print head temperature drops,
the printer restarts printing.
Install tractor paper on the tractor and press the EJECT/LOAD key.
PAPER OUT
Put a cut sheet on the paper rack and load it into the printer.

Paper edge sensor
Carriage shaft
Paper sensor
Paper guide
Figure 6-1 Cleaning printer
Cleaning periodically and the cleaning tool

Periodical cleaning: every 3 months or every 300 working hours once
Cleaning tool: dry cloth (please use soft cloth to clean metal parts.)
Cleaning the paper guide

Please wipe off wasted paper and clean dirt and dust.
Cleaning the carriage shaft

There is a layer of oil covered on the carriage shaft which guarantees the carriage runs smoothly. But
the oil is easy to absorb dust, please clean the dust with soft cloth first, and then add proper lube (NYE
180 lube of NYE Company is recommended), move print head back and forth to make lube scattered.
Cleaning the photoelectric sensor part

As the paper sensor and the paper edge sensor are correlation photoelectric sensors. You should
clean the parts periodically.
Clean the sensor and its shield every three months.
When the paper sensor or the paper edge sensor can not detect paper and malfunction occurs, you
should take the following actions:
1. Clean the dust on the sensor.
2. If the malfunction still appears, please contact the local dealer.
Note: 1. Turn off printer and pull out the power cord before cleaning. (When cleaning roller, it may
- 47 -
need to turn on the power.)
2. Being used under dust circumstance, the carriage shaft may stack much dust and affect
the print quality. Please shorten the cleaning period
3. Print head and the surrounding part may be high temperature after using. Please avoid
cleaning it at the moment.
4. Please use a soft cloth for cleaning, do not use combustible solvent.
6.3.2 Lube
If the printer is being used for a long time, please add the specified lube to the front and rear metal
shafts periodically. When adding lube, please move the print head back and forth to make lube
scattered.
Please use the recommended lube instead of the unspecified one, or else, the printer life would be
shortened.
6.4 Contact the Technical Service Centre

If the printer is malfunction and cannot solve the problem through the operation shown in 6.2, the
components of the printer are damage during using or you need to buy some consumables, please
