SRP-275 2-1-3 Ribbon Cartridge Installation 1) Before inserting the ribbon cassette, turn the knob clockwise to prevent twisting the ribbon. 2) Open the front cover of printer. 3) Take out the old ribbon cassette if there is one. 4) Insert the new ribbon cassette as shown and pay particular attention to the placement of the ribbon in front of the Printer Head.
SRP-275 2-1-4 Paper Roll Installation 1) To prevent data loss, make sure that the printer is not receiving data. 2) Open the rear cover by pushing the open button and push the arrow mark back. 3) Remove the used paper roll core if there is one.
SRP-275 2-1-5 Changing the paper width Screw(3x6)(2pieces) 1) Open the rear cover. Frame paper control 2) Remove the Frame paper control by loosing the two screws(3×6). 3) Reattach the Frame paper control in your wanting position. (Insert and tighten two screws(3×6) to reattach.)
SRP-275 2-1-6 Wall Mount Installation Bracket hanger 1) Turn the Set over and attach the Bracket hanger to the Frame base then tighten four screws. Screw(3x5) (4pieces) 2) Attach the Bracket mount to the wall firmly with the Bracket mount eight screws.
SRP-275 2-2 Operation 2-2-1 Using the operation panel Most of the functions of this printer are governed by software, but you can monitor the printer s status by looking at the lights on the control panel and for some procedures you will use the buttons.

SRP-275 2-3 Setting the Dip Switches Although the factory settings are best for almost all users, if you have special requirements, you can change the DIP Switch. Your printer has two sets of DIP Switches. The functions of the switches are shown in the following table.
SRP-275 2-3-4 Changing the DIP Switch setting If you need to change settings, follow the steps below to make your changes. CAUTION Turn off the printer before removing the DIP Switch cover to prevent an electric short, which can damage the printer.
Memory Switch setting”. Settings of the Memory Switch are stored in the NV memory; therefore, even if the printer is turned off, the settings are maintained. When you replace a SRP-270 with a SRP-275, you should adjust the MSW 8-5 to OFF.
Page 23
When On is selected, a bit of the “rear cover open / close" in each status that is transmitted from the printer is changed every time the rear cover is open or closed. When you replace a SRP-270 with a SRP-275, you should adjust the MSW 8-5 to Off. MSW 8-8: When Off is selected, a bit of the “automatic recoverable error”...

SRP-275 8. Appendix (Mechanism operating principles) The printer mechanism of the SRP-275 consists of the following component mechanisms: • Transport mechanism • Printing mechanism • Detection mechanism • Auto cutter mechanism • Easy paper loading mechanism These components are described in detail in the following sections.
SRP-275 8-1-2 Paper feeding system Paper feeding is performed by conveying the PF(Paper Feed) motor’s rotational power from the PF motor pinion through the Gear reduction and Gear feeding. Since the Shaft-rubber roller and Roller holder are pressed together, paper advances to the top of the Rotator ass’y because of the friction between the rubber of the Shaft-rubber roller and the Roller holder.
SRP-275 8-1-3 Ribbon feeding system When the HF motor rotates CCW(CounterClockWise) and the HF motor pinion rotates in the direction of arrow A, Gear-RE(REduction)_B, Gear-RE_A and Gear-RE_B' rotate in the directions of arrows B, and C, D respectively. This causes the Lever ribbon feeder ass’y to move in the direction of arrow E, rotating round the Shaft-reduction A/C in the center, until the Gear-RE_B' goes in with the Gear-RE_C.
SRP-275 Carriage head ass'y Lever-change color Frame-ribbon MOVING RIBBON UPWARD HEAD CARRIAGE SHIFT(BLACK-->RED) Frame-ribbon Lever-change color Solenoid MOVING RIBBON DOWNWARD SOLENOID ON(RED-->BLACK) 8-2 Printing mechanism When the specified print head drive pulse is input to the drive coil, the iron core is magnetized, and the actuating plate is pulled in the direction of arrow A.
SRP-275 8-3 Detection mechanism Each of the detection component mechanism in the SRP-275 and their corresponding function are listed below. Detailed explanations of each of the detection mechanism are provided in this section. Detection mechanism Function Home position Initial setting of SRP-275...
SRP-275 8-3-2 Paper near end detection mechanism Paper near end detection mechanism consists of Switch-paper near end and Switch-paper near end-W (using the wall mount). These switches detect the amount of paper left on the paper roll through OR logical operation.
SRP-275 8-3-3 Paper end detection mechanism The Switch-paper end consists of the paper end detection lever and micro switch, and is located on the center of the Frame basket. This switch detects the presence/absence state of the paper roll. The tip of the paper end detection lever is always pressed against the paper roll by a spring inside the micro switch.
SRP-275 8-4 Auto cutter mechanism When the Auto cutter motor set drives the worm gear so that it rotates in the direction of arrow A, the rotational force is transferred to the Gear-AC worm wheel and Gear-AC gear pulley (Belt drive pulley).
8-5 Easy paper loading mechanism SRP-275 has easy paper loading mechanism which enables a paper loading and a paper jam to be solved easily. When a paper jam happens or a paper is out, push Button open then the force will be transferred to Arm open.
