Let's get started

Step1 : Check all contents
Step2 : Prepare "Electric Power Source"
Please DO NOT connect Arduino and AS-289R2 at this point.
Connect Power Source and Power Harness together. (Use AC Adapter 5V4A this time)
Be sure to connect Red wire with +5V and Black wire with GND.
[Adafruit] Female DC Power adapter - 2.1mm jack to screw terminal block
Step3 : Turn on the Power

Confirm both Power LED(LED1:Green light) and Status LED (LED2:Amber light) are on.
Please note that the status light will turn on when you don't have thermal paper.
Step4 : Test Print
Please DO NOT connect Arduino and AS-289R2 at this point.
Set thermal paper on units.
Turn off the main power and be powered on while hold down the field switch (SW1) It will make a print test run.
Step5 : Upload Sample Sketch(Program)
Please DO NOT connect Arduino and AS-289R2 at this point.
Write in Sample Sketch on Arduino.
