Fig. 6 CITIZEN 11 iDP3540/3541 User's Manual 6. 4. 2 Using Fan-Fold Paper (iDP3540P) 1) 2) 3) 4) Remove the printer cover Set the imprint face of the paper downward and put into the paper entrance. If necessary to adjust the sprocket-wheel's position, free the wheels using the lever on both sides. Hook some of the paper's perforations on the sprockets and forward the paper into the printer mechanism by pulling and turning the paper-feed knob until the paper's tip reaches the platen.

Capacity of stacker The maximum size of fun-fold paper sheaf which can be stored in this stacker is 3 to 3. 5(W) × 6(H) × 1. 6(D) inches. Fig. 10 CITIZEN 12 iDP3540/3541 User's Manual 6. 6 Self Test Printing Your printer has a built in self print function for purpose of checking print operation without the need for any other external device. Procedures for Actuating the Print Function 1) Be sure that a paper roll is properly loaded. 2) Confirm that the ribbon cassette is properly installed and turn the power switch off. This makes possible a large amount of data buffering, and therefore, the host side is free immediately after data transmission. CITIZEN 17 iDP3540/3541 User's Manual 9.

When framing, overrun or parity errors occur, the data is converted into (7FH). DTR: Please write in data or commands when this signal is in a "ready" state. If written in when in a BUSY state, an overrun error will occur and the data will be ignored. Further, a BUSY signal is generated when the power is turned on, while test printing, when ONLINE and during reset.
