1-6 Adjustments and Settings
The SRP-F310 is set up at the factory to be appropriate for almost all users. It does,
however, offer some settings for users with special requirements.
It has DIP switches that allow you to change communication settings, such as
handshaking and parity check, as well as print density.
The SRP-F310 also has a near-end sensor for the paper. This can give you a warning
when the paper is almost out. If you find that there is not enough paper remaining on the
roll when the near-end sensor is triggered, you can change the near-end sensor setting.
Rotate the near end sensor tab at front or rear position. (See the below figure)
1-7 Using the Printer
Control Panel
○ POWER
The POWER light is on whenever the printer is on.
○ ERROR
This indicates an error.
○ PAPER
This light indicates the near end of the paper roll. Install a new paper roll and the printer
will continue printing. When the light blinks, it indicates the self-test printing standby state
or macro execution Standby state when the macro execution command is used.
○ FEED
Press the FEED button once to advance paper one line. You can also hold down the
FEED button to feed paper continuously.
