Determine whether the slot mark detects the position of the photocoupler correctly:
Small triangle alignment of optocoupler (for the infinite bit block version machine and the finite bit block machine with the upper optocoupler black light);
The optocoupler needs to be moved to the rightmost test (the version of the limited bit block on the right and the machine with white light on it). If it is not possible to confirm whether the optocoupler is a white light or a black light, the customer can align the small triangle and move to the rightmost two positions to do a paper study. After learning, it is OK to locate and move the paper normally.
The printer is loaded with paper and the top cover is covered. When the printer beeps twice and the indicator light turns blue, long press the "paper off" button for about 3 seconds, and release the "paper off" button. Then the printer will automatically move a section of paper for verification and learning.
