Ethernet Configuration
Ethernet communications are supported on printers manufactured after June 10,
2013, with firmware EC level 14.00 and above. The date can be found on the
bottom of the printer.
Older levels of the main logic cards (MLC) for these printers manufactured prior to
June 10, 2013 will not support Ethernet. MLCs that have the circuitry to support
Ethernet will be identified internal to the card.
If an Ethernet Interface adapter is installed and the MLC indicates that Ethernet is
not supported, an error message is printed. On the 2xR printers, the ready light will
blink amber and the internal LED#2 will be lit indicating interface card error.
A media access control (MAC) address is necessary for Ethernet function and will
be stored in the Ethernet interface adapter at the factory. The printer will print out
an error message if the MAC address is invalid or is not stored in the Interface
card. There is no capability of changing or cloning a MAC address in the field.
Every interface card (IFC) has a unique MAC address. See Toshiba Diagnostics for
the Ethernet Printer on page 87 for more information.
If an Ethernet adapter is detected, the firmware will not back-level to a pre-Ethernet
supported level.
Ethernet addressing options can be changed via:
1. Offline menus: See Firmware offline tests on page 93 for more information.
Reset Network Configuration will reset the user-modifiable network configuration
items to factory default. MAC is not affected.
2. Web interface.
3. Configuration utility.
4. Web API configuration download.
Chapter 1. Introducing the 4610 Models 2CR and 2NR

When these options are changed, they are stored in the MLC (main logic card) and
backed up in the IFC (interface card). If the printer's IFC is replaced, the values will
be updated with the following logic:
v When an IFC does not have a valid serial number (a card from FRU stock), all
Ethernet options will be copied automatically from the MLC to the IFC.
v If an IFC has a valid serial number, but it is different from the printer's serial
number, a menu will print with the options of updating MLC or updating IFC.
Remarks:
v The MAC address in the IFC will never change.
v On the 2xR printer, the menu will ask which serial number is correct. The
Ethernet options will be updated along with the serial number and other stored
data.
Note: The exception to the logic above occurs when the IFC is setup as a slave
card. When the IFC is a slave card, the Ethernet options used will be those
pulled from the IFC.
Slave cards may be used by a depot or integrators to setup configurations or flash
the printer's firmware without changing any settings on the MLC before it is shipped.
To make an IFC slave card:
v Store a serial number of 55-55555.

Addressing
The printer supports standard Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addressing. The IP
address and other IP network parameters are assigned using the following list of
priorities:
1. Fixed, if enabled and defined for the fixed IP selected.
2. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), if the previous assignment
method does not apply and a DHCP server is available.
3. Auto IP, if neither of the previous assignment methods apply and Auto IP is
enabled.
When Fixed IP and Auto IP are disabled, the printer will wait for a valid DHCP
server.

Auto IP
Auto IP is a method for a host to assign itself a Local Link IP address, described in
RFC 3927. The printer will randomly select an address from the range 169.254.1.0
to 169.254.254.255 and verify that it is not in use.
Auto IP can be disabled when the user determines that the printer should always
have a valid server. This will keep the printer from setting up an auto IP when the
server is temporarily unavailable.
Note: A printer may take two minutes or more to obtain an IP address via Auto IP
due to the DHCP server time-out and other required delays. Auto IP is
intended for initial printer setup when a DHCP server is not available.

Systems management support with Ethernet - SNMP


Ethernet printers support Read Only Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
for systems management. The printers support management information base II
(MIB II) for management of the Ethernet configuration (RFC 1213) and a private,
enterprise MIB for the 4610 printers. Any client can retrieve the MIB data from the
printer. The printer will also support up to two SNMP managers to receive SNMP
Traps on state changes in the printer and attached cash drawers.
SNMP is used to manage the printer, not the printing process. SNMP gathers
information about the state of the printer:
v Status: Information regarding the current operating state of the printer (offline / on
line / error conditions).
v Alert: The representation of a reportable event in the printer. An event is a
change in the state of the printer; sent as an SNMP trap.
SNMP contains support for retrieving data (Get and GetNext requests) and
receiving notification of change of state and error conditions via Alerts (or Traps) as
unsolicited messages to listening managers. Setting or changing a condition in the
printer (Set requests) is not supported via SNMP.

Alerts
Clients can register to receive Traps on the following state changes in the printer:

MIB II
Management information base II (MIB II) is used to convey information about the
TCP/IP configuration. The majority of the data that is recorded as part of MIB II will
not be useful in supporting the printer. For details, see the following information on
RFC 1213:
v Tree view of the RFC: http://www.snmplink.org/OnLineMIB/Standards/
v Full text: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1213
The objects in MIB II are arranged in the following groups:
v System
v Interfaces
v Address Translation (deprecated)
v IP
v ICMP
v

v

TCP
UDP
EGP
Transmission
SNMP

HTTP Server
The printer provides an HTTP server for configuration, management, and diagnostic
functions.

Login and Overview


When a new HTTP connection is made, the printer prompts for a User Name and
Password. Completion of login establishes an active session which enables the
functionality as defined in the following sections. The logon screen varies depending
on the browser.
The default Username and Password are Admin and Admin respectively. These
may be redefined with the Web Interface in the HTTP Server, the Configuration
Utility, or the Web API configuration (see Web API for printer configuration
management on page 11).
The User Name and Password are limited to eight alphanumeric characters and are
case sensitive.

Data Display/Entry Fields


User Name:
Admin
v If an alternate login name is defined, the data entry field is blank;
otherwise, the default login name is displayed.
Password:
Admin
v The password is not displayed. A dummy character * is displayed for
each character entered.
The HTTP session remains active until the user logs off.

10

SureMark Hardware Service Guide

Web Pages
Once logged on, there are several pages in the printer that can be used for printer
management.
Overview:
Reports the printers serial number, model, firmware level, and the current
Ethernet setting.
Diagnostic:
Supports printing of an offline receipt, reports the user statistics of the
printer, and shows the current status of the printer.
Network:
Allows the user to change the current Network configuration.
SNMP:
Allows the user to set up the SNMP managers.
Admin Access:
Allows the user to change the Login and Password used for the HTTP
server.
System Update:
Allows the user to configure the printer and to download firmware, font, and
configuration files.
Reset:
Allows the user to reset the printer.
Logout:
Allows the user to log out of the printer.

Web API for printer configuration management


The Managing Client can retrieve the printers configuration via an HTTP Get. The
printer will respond with a configuration file (see Retrieving Printers configuration
using HTTP Server Get on page 12). This file will include all necessary information
to determine the current printer configuration or setup:
v Firmware version
v Checksums of the various flash memory sectors:
Fonts
Character sets
Messages
v Network settings
Knowledge of the printer specification and the locations of the given parameters are
required to interpret the output.
Once the manager determines that a printer requires updating, there are three file
types the printer will accept. These will come to the printer via HTTP POST:
1. Firmware file: The same firmware file that is supported by the drivers. *.hex
file.
The printer will verify the file format, validity (correct CRC), and version before
beginning the update process. Once verification is complete, it will program the
new firmware and reset. Following the reset, the printer will run at the new
firmware level.
2. Configuration file: Contains all the data the printer would need for
configuration in a given environment. This includes the network configuration.
Chapter 1. Introducing the 4610 Models 2CR and 2NR

11

3. Font file: The *.fon file that is supported by the UPOS drivers. See the UPOS
font support for creating this file with a configuration tool 4610cvnt.exe.
This file contains all the required data for setting up the font file in the printer. If
necessary, the printer will erase and then store all the font files and MCT values
associated with the font file. Example: If one of the DBCS font files is
downloaded, the printer will store the DBCS Impact, DBCS Thermal, SBCS
Impact User defined set 1, and SBCS Thermal User defined set 1, as well as
the MCTs needed to use these files by the printer and the UPOS drivers. If
required when downloading DBCS character sets, the printer will reset when the
font is done storing.
Upon completion of setup, the printer will respond by sending a response to the
HTTP file.

Retrieving Printers configuration using HTTP Server Get


The HTTP server Get is used for retrieving the configuration of the printer.
The HTTP header starts with get_Config:
GET /get_Config HTTP

Figure 6. Get Configuration header example

The format of the file sent back is the following:

Chapter 2. Removing and replacing FRUs


This section provides instructions on how to remove and replace the field
replacement units (FRU) for the SureMark 4610 Model 2CR and 2NR printers. See
Appendix B, Parts listing, on page 111 for a description of the FRU catalog and a
list of the FRU part numbers.

Before you begin


Before you begin any of the procedures in this chapter, follow these guidelines:
v Switch off the power to the SureMark 4610 printer.
v Unplug the power cord from the external power source.
v Review Handling static-sensitive devices for guidelines to avoid static electricity.

Handling static-sensitive devices


Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static protective bags until you
are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
v While the device is contained in its anti-static bag, touch it and your finger to an
unpainted metal part of the system unit for at least 2 seconds. (This action
removes static electricity from the package and from your body.)
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system,
without putting it down. If it is necessary to put the device down, place it onto its
static-protective bag. (If your device is an adapter, place it component side up.)
Do not place the device onto the cover of the system or onto a metal table.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Identifying the FRUs

69) and (K in Figure 55). Do not use Loctite or any similar sealants.
13. Replace the ribbon and close the ribbon cover.
Note: Do not push the gauge lower than the rubber print area, but make sure the
gauge is low enough for the wires on the printhead to touch the rubber print
area.

Replenishing consumable supplies


You are responsible for replenishing consumable supplies, which include:
v Paper rolls
v Inserted forms
v Ribbon cartridges
Make sure that you are using the recommended supplies for the 4610, which are
described in the following sections.

Chapter 3. Adjusting and maintaining the 4610

71

Loading and replacing the paper roll


The 4610 printers can accommodate a four inch printer roll. When your paper roll is
running low, the paper supply LED indicator will blink continuously. Once the paper
is out, the amber (orange) light of the paper supply LED indicator will remain lit until
you replace the roll.
Note: See Supported paper types on page 73 to verify that you are using the
correct paper for the 4610.
To properly install the paper roll, make sure you install the paper with the printing
side facing out. The paper should not be attached to the core in any manner. To
load a new paper roll, complete the following steps:

Figure 56. Opening the paper door

1. Press and release the blue release button (P in Figure 56) to release the
paper door.
2. If necessary, remove any unused paper or empty paper roll cores from the
paper roll bucket before inserting a new paper roll.
Note: Refer to the label inside the rear wall of the printer for a diagram of how
to load paper.

72

SureMark Hardware Service Guide

Figure 57. Paper roll placement

3. Place the paper roll into the paper roll bucket with the leading edge of the paper
coming from the bottom of the roll, as shown in Figure 57.
Note: The thermal printhead will not print on paper with glue on it. If the new
paper roll was sealed by glue, tear off the 6 to 8 inches of paper with
glue on it before loading it.
4. Close the paper cover.
5. Press the customer receipt feed button to advance the paper about 30 cm
(about 1 ft.) to test for proper feeding and correct alignment.
6. Tear off excess paper.
Attention: Do not pull the receipt paper out of the printer with the paper access
cover closed. This disengages the paper feed. The paper feed motor must then
catch up before the printer can feed the paper, which causes missing lines or partial
lines of print. Use the customer receipt feed button to advance the receipt and all
lines will print.

Supported paper types


The type of paper required for the 4610 is dependent on the printer model. The
Model 2CR and 2NR printers require paper that supports both thermal and impact
printing.
Attention: Using an inferior grade of paper can affect the print quality, printhead
life expectancy, and printer mechanisms.
Note: When selecting a paper, ensure that the paper's archive life meets the
requirements of the tax authorities of your country for archiving tax-related
data.

Chapter 3. Adjusting and maintaining the 4610

73

Thermal paper: The paper used in the thermal receipt station must meet the
following requirements:
Width 79.5 0.5 mm (3.13 0.02 in.)
Outside Diameter
102 mm (4.0 in.) maximum
Thickness
57 m (0.00225 in.) Range: 41 m (0.0016 inches) minimum to 99 m
(0.0039) maximum

Important
Paper has a significant manufacturing tolerance and nominal paper
designations do not reflect actual measurements. The manufacturing
tolerance must fall within the published operating thickness range. You
should test paper in your specific configuration before using. If any
spot measurement of the paper is outside the specified range, the
paper does not meet the paper specification, which will result in an
end-user error paper jam.

To find supported papers:


1. Visit the Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions support website:
www.toshibacommerce.com/support
2. Select SureMark Printers.
3. Click OEM Paper Testing under 4610-2CR/2NR to view the supported papers.

Important
Printer reliability and performance are directly related to the quality of the
supplies you use. The published parameters for printer performance are
established using supplies that meet the specifications listed above.
Thermal paper with watermarks, coupons, or advertisements printed on the
front or back of the paper is not covered by Toshiba specifications. Some
inks and printing processes will work acceptably, while others will not. Printer
problems that are caused by supplies that do not meet Toshiba specifications
may result in a billable service call, regardless of the existence of a service
contract.
Impact printing: With thermal impact station printing, both models can print up to
three parts on a multi-part form. Table 12 on page 75 lists the specifications of
supported single and multi-part forms.
v Test all forms in the printer to ensure acceptable performance prior to buying a
significant quantity.
v No binding holes or other holes should be within 10 mm (0.4 in.) from the right
edge of the form.
v Forms less than 0.15 mm (0.006 in.) thick with the grain of the paper
perpendicular to the feed direction (short-grain paper) should not be used for
landscape printing.
v Not all documents with color may feed properly in the impact printing station.
Therefore, it is highly recommended that customers verify their documents before
use. See Figure 77 on page 108 for document specification details.

Loading large paper rolls


You can load extra large paper rolls (up to 15 in.) below the printer to reduce how
often you need to replace the paper roll. Mounting hardware is necessary to avoid
placing undue strain on the paper feed motor. See your Toshiba representative for
additional information.

Replacing the ribbon


When the print quality is not clear, it might be necessary to replace the ribbon on
your printer. To replace the ribbon:
1. Open the ribbon door. As the door is opened, the printhead moves to a position
where you can easily load the ribbon.

Supported ribbon types


Attention: Using an inferior grade of ribbon can affect the print quality, printhead
life expectancy, and printer mechanisms.
The 4610 Model 2CR and 2NR require a stuffer-box ribbon type (feed rollers pull
the ribbon from one end of the cartridge and stuff it into the cartridge cavity of the
other end). The Epson ERC 35 ribbon meets these specifications; however, other
original equipment manufacturers also offer replacements that are adequate.

Inserting checks (Model 2CR only)


The Model 2CR printer is capable of printing verification information on a check or
an inserted document. You must correctly insert your check or document into the

Cleaning recommendations
You should periodically inspect your 4610 unit and clean the cover as required. Use
a soft clean cloth with warm soapy water to clean the plastic parts. Do not use
abrasives or any alkaline, ammonia, or chloride-based cleaner.
Note: Do not apply cleaning solution directly to the cover. Always apply the cleaner
on a clean cloth and then wipe the cover with the damp cloth. Be certain that
the cloth is only damp and not dripping wet.

Cleaning the MICR read head (Model 2CR only)


You should clean the MICR read head after 10,000 checks are processed, or every
three months. Clean the MICR read head using a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl
alcohol.
To
1.
2.
3.

clean the MICR read head:


Open the ribbon door by pulling downward.
Remove the ribbon cartridge by lifting it out.
Move the carriage to the right until it stops, or as shown in Figure 64 on page
82.

Chapter 3. Adjusting and maintaining the 4610

81

Figure 64. Cleaning the MICR read head

4. Prepare a swab with isopropyl alcohol.


5. Gently wipe the head (see M in Figure 64) with the swab several times. Wipe
away any residual alcohol with a dry swab.
6. Replace the ribbon and close the ribbon door.
If cleaning the MICR read head does not solve the problem you are having, it might
be that you are experiencing electromagnetic noise interference. Sources of
electromagnetic noise (for example, displays, security towers, and other sources)
can interfere with the MICR read head. The printer is equipped to filter noise from
many devices. If the MICR read head does not function properly, rearranging the
printer relative to the noise source may improve MICR reading. The noise source
should be as far away as possible from the right side of the printer.

Cleaning the thermal printhead


The thermal printhead should be cleaned at regular intervals or when the print
quality has noticeably deteriorated. There are many factors that affect cleaning
frequency. Poor paper quality, high printer usage, or a dirty environment are all
reasons to clean the thermal printhead more often. Complete the following steps to
clean the thermal printhead:
1. Open the paper cover by pushing the large blue button on the top of the printer.

Situations of Importance for the Ethernet Printer


Situation 1:
Printer issues when the retailer attempted a printer firmware update that
failed due to power outage or LAN outage; the retailer called Toshiba Global
Commerce Solutions for service.
This situation may imply that the printer is operating out of its backup boot
sector, which is an emergency environment to perform only firmware
update. Determine if this is the case by attempting to use the Offline Menu
on the printer. If the printer is operating out of its backup boot sector, there
will not be an Offline Menu printed on the cash receipt station.
The first suggestion to make to the retailer is for the retailer to run the
printer firmware update again that they previously attempted. This should
work the majority of the time.
If retrying the printer firmware update a second time does not resolve the
problem, replace the logic card in the printer.
Situation 2
Printer issues when attempting to update printer firmware using Toshiba
Diagnostics that failed due to power outage or LAN outage.
This situation implies that the printer is operating out of its backup boot
sector, which is an emergency environment to perform only firmware
update. Determine if this is the case by attempting to use the Offline Menu
on the printer. If the printer was booted from its backup boot sector, there
will not be an Offline Menu printed on the cash receipt station.
If this occurs, boot Toshiba Diagnostics with the Ethernet-attached printer
connected to the laptop again. Go through the Add Device process to add a
device, and then perform the printer firmware update again.

88

SureMark Hardware Service Guide

This action is possible because the printer retains the last known printer
configuration prior to the power or LAN outage and uses that configuration
when the printer is booted again. In this case, the printer was already in
Diagnostics Mode prior to the outage, so it will still be in Diagnostics Mode
when booted again.
Note: Be sure to follow the instructions for ending the printer diagnostics
session when you are finished using the Toshiba Diagnostics for that
printer.
Situation 3
The Ethernet POS printer prints a message on the cash receipt station
stating that the printer does not have a MAC address. You might receive
one of these messages:
Message 1:
Need a valid MAC address for Ethernet communications.
Message 2:
Card does not have a valid MAC address.
Printer will run in Diagnostic mode.
Fixed IP 1: 169.254.0.95
mask: 255.255.0.0
The Toshiba Diagnostics for POS Systems and Peripherals Version 6.2.1 or
later contains a utility that can correct this situation.
Before you begin:
v Write down the MAC address, which is located on the Ethernet card
attached to the underside of the printer. The printing on the Ethernet card
should appear in this way: MAC: 6CAE8B46xxxx.
v The Ethernet printer must have printer firmware level 15.03 or higher
installed. If the correct printer firmware level is not installed, it must be
updated.
Note: If Message 1 is received, firmware level 15.03 or higher is not yet
installed.
v To update the printer firmware when the printer is in this state, another
interface (USB, RS485, or RS-232) must be used in the printer. The
Toshiba Diagnostics package can be used to update the printer firmware.
Once the firmware is updated to level 15.03, put the Ethernet card back
in the printer and proceed with the rest of the instructions.
Follow these steps to put a MAC address into an Ethernet attached printer:
1. Connect the printer directly to your laptop or to the POS system unit
with an Ethernet cable. It may be necessary to have your own LAN
cable to connect the printer to the laptop.
2. Insert the TGCS Diagnostics Ver 6.2.1 or later memory key into one of
your system's USB ports. The printer should already have power from
a power brick when the Ethernet card is in the printer.
3. Boot the system to which the printer is attached.
4. When the printer powers on, a message is shown about not having a
MAC address. The printer is already in Diagnostics Mode at this point.
5. Navigate to the UTILITIES screen.

Chapter 4. Running tests and diagnostics

89

6. Select the option to ADD DEVICE and then choose ADD A


NETWORK PRINTER. Follow the instructions. TGCS Diagnostics will
restart the Diagnostics application and the main Diagnostics screen will
appear again.
7. Navigate to the UTILITIES screen.
8. Printer utilities are visible on this screen as a PRINTER UPDATES
button. Choose PRINTER UPDATES and then select PRINTER
CONFIG.
9. Select MAC ADDRESS CONFIGURATION.
10. Enter the MAC address that you wrote down from the printer's
Ethernet card twice (two different fields). You will be prompted to verify
the MAC address before it is applied to the printer.
Note: The MAC address can only be set one time, so it must be the
correct address for the printer.
11. If there are any other printer activities that must be performed (running
tests, loading firmware, configuring the printer), do them at this time.
12. Shut down TGCS Diagnostics by clicking the SHUTDOWN button on
the top right side of the panel. It is important to shut down, because
this action takes the printer out of Diagnostics Mode when it next
powers on.

Toshiba Diagnostics for the RS-232 Printer

SureMark Hardware Service Guide

Testing the 4610


When you switch on the SureMark printer, it runs a power-on self-test (POST). If
the POST finds no errors, the printer is ready for operation. Follow these steps if
you receive an error:
1. If the printer is powered ON, power OFF the printer and power it ON again.
v If the printer is attached to the system with the RS-232 cable or the standard
USB cable with a power brick, disconnect the power cord, then reconnect the
power cord to a properly wired and grounded power source.
v If the printer is attached to the system with the RS-485 cable, power OFF the
POS system, and then switch on the system, which also powers ON the
printer.
2. Check the status of the printer-ready indicator:
Printer-ready indicator ON:
The power-on self-test completed successfully.
Printer-ready indicator OFF or blinking:
The POST failed.
3. If the POST fails or if you suspect problems with your system, see
Troubleshooting on page 100.
4. See Firmware offline tests on page 93 and run the offline tests. If the offline
tests fail or you suspect problems with your system, see Troubleshooting on
page 100.

Low paper sensing and calibration


Low-paper sensing in the 4610 Model 2CR and 2NR is based upon the paper
thickness and the core size. You can modify the low-paper and critically low sensing
settings. These settings determine the amount of paper that remains on the roll and
at which time the low-paper and the critically low-paper status is sent. The default
setting for low-paper status is 5 meters (or 5000 mm) remaining on the roll, and
critically low status is 1 meter (or 1000 mm) remaining on the roll.
Note: Prior to turning off the printer, send a reset command to the printer or open
and close the paper door. If you turn off the printer without a reset command,
when you turn the printer back on, it will start counting motor steps from the
number stored in the printer's memory. This will not be an accurate number if
the printer was not able to store the number with a reset command.
You must calibrate the printer to accurately recognize the thickness of the paper
supply, which you can do with an offline test or by a command (see Summary of
offline test menus on page 94). You only need to calibrate one printer for a specific
paper supply. You can then broadcast that calibration constant to all printers that
will use the same paper.
To set the low-paper supply sensors of all printers within your system:
1. Run the calibration on one printer (see Summary of offline test menus on page
94).
2. Read out MCT#0X'28' from the calibrated printer.
Note: The calibration constant is stored in MCT#0X'28'. System management
can interrogate all printers to determine whether one has been recently
calibrated.
3. Clear the high-order bit and send the value to all printers in the enterprise.

Changing the interface card or logic card


During the servicing process, you often will change an interface card or logic card in
the printer. If one of the cards is a new FRU, then the printer firmware automatically
updates the new card with the printer settings and other information. (These
settings include the serial number, baud rate, and model number.) The first time you
power on the printer with a FRU card in it, the update will occur and the printer will
reset.
For proper operation, the information on the interface and logic cards must match. If
you install either card (interface or logic) with previously written firmware
information, you must direct the firmware to overwrite the correct card.
The following message is printed when an information mismatch occurs:

Chapter 4. Running tests and diagnostics

v On an Ethernet printer, verify the firmware file is greater than 14.00.


v Perform an offline test to determine which sensor type you have.
v Paper out sensor is not working:
1. Check printer firmware level by performing an offline test.
2. If the firmware version is earlier than 9.x and the paper ready light stays
green when the paper is out, update the firmware to 9.x or later.
3. Perform the Paper-out sensor test in the offline menu.
v Verify that the ribbon is properly installed.
v Check the form or paper against the printer spec.
v Adjust the print head gap (contact Toshiba service for assistance).
v Verify that the impact platen is free to rotate. If it is not free, remove the upper
throat assembly. Locate the paper guide on the platen assembly directly
below the MICR head (Model 2CR only). Rotate the paper guide until the
platen assembly is free to rotate. Reassemble the upper throat assembly.
v After all of the above steps have been tried, readjust the platen bushings.
(contact Toshiba service for assistance).

(8 lpi)

Note: To conserve power, the Model 2CR and 2NR reduce their throughput when
printing high print densities, such as logo messages or full black lines.
Because these types of print messages are used on a limited basis, the
overall performance when printing a customer receipt is not noticeably
affected.
The reduced print speed is based on the number of print dots that are turned
on for a given print line, which is defined as dot utilization. Dot utilization is
typically low for normal character printing and up to 100% for full black line
printing. The SureMark printer operates at 80 lps at low dot utilization, and at
slower speeds as the dot utilization increases.
Figure 75 and Figure 76 on page 107 show the printable area on an inserted
document for both portrait and landscape.
