3. Close the hood back by press the center of hood 

front end; and leaving the tail of the paper roll 
coming  out  of  the  opening  between  the  hood 
and the top cover as in 

Pix. 3

When to Replace Paper 

Whenever  the  printer  gives  paper  out  signal  or  a  red  line  appears  on  the 
thermal paper, it is the proper timing  for replacing the paper. Do not wait till 
the  print  engine  is  dragging  the  paper  roll  at  the  very  end.  Remove  the  top 
cover  and  replace  a  new  paper  roll  as  illustrated  above  to  prevent  excessive 
paper dust in the printer and reduce the possibility of paper jam.  
Furthermore,  during  the  standby  mode  (not  in  the  power  off  mode),  it  can 
straight  to  replace  the  paper  roll.  The  printer  will  automatically  cut  the 
unnecessary paper right after the top hood closed.  

CONNECTING CABLES 

Serial Connection 

All the external connectors are in the recessed area at the rear

 

bottom for Aura-

9000S  series. The  serial  connector  is  a  9-PIN  D  sub  Female  connector  at  the 
left in this area. Apply the male connector of RS232 cable to this port for serial 
application.  The  default  protocol  used  in  serial  connection  is  115,200  bps, 
none parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.  

Virtual Serial Port 

A  virtual  serial  port  is  a  redirector  driver  used  in  USB  interface  which  is 
usually  used  to  create  a  pair  of  back-to-back  virtual  COM  ports  on  the  same 
computer.  It  can  then  communicate  using  virtual  serial  ports  instead  of 
conventional inter-process communication mechanisms.  

Parallel Connection 

The  parallel  connector  is  a  25-PIN  D  sub  Male  connector  at  the  leftmost 
location  in  the  connector  area  for  Aura-9000P.  Apply  the  female  end  of  the 
parallel cable at this port for parallel application.  

LAN Connection 

The LAN connector is an 8-PIN RJ45 type modular connector at the position 
left to the power connector in the connector area for Aura-9000L. Please use a 
LAN cable of CAT 5 with proper length to connect the LAN connector on the 
printer to the LAN HUB as appropriate. Please note that for Aura-9000L, there 
must be no cable connection at the serial port on the printer. The LAN port is 
10/100BaseT compliant.
