1. Features
♣Power Supply Requirements
Either input 120VAC/Output 24VDC 2.5A for North America or Input 230VAC/Output 24VDC 2.5A for
Europe with a 3pin mini-din connector power supply is provided.
♣Dip Switch Configuration
Emulation mode, CPL Select mode, Flow Control mode, Data Width/Parity, and Baud Rate are all
configured through dip switch settings.
♣Data Buffer
The printer has a built-in 48 Kilobyte I/O buffer allowing the host computer to free itself after sending
the print data.
♣Reliable communications
Centronics parallel or RS-232C compatible communications is built-in. The printer supports multiple
baud rates, emulations, and handshaking on its parallel & serial interfaces.
♣User controls
A power switch, a paper forward FEED button, a paper BACKward feed button and ON LINE button
provide ease of use.
♣Self Test Mode
A comprehensive self-test mode is available which describes the printer configuration and dip switch
setting information along with the version number of firmware installed.
♣Print orientation
The printer is capable of printing normal and upside down. The print orientation is selected by software
commands.
♣Selectable international characters
The printer supports international characters selectable by software control.
♣Multiple Fonts/Sizes
Two different resident fonts are available for printing diversity. Each of these fonts can be printed
in normal, double wide, double height, and quadruple sizes. Both fonts and sizes are selected by
software.
♣Error detection
The printer can detect paper-out and paper-jam as well as controller malfunction.
♣Peripheral Drive
Two cash drawer drivers are provided.
♣Certification

 3. Self Test
1) While pressing the paper FEED switch after the printer in turned on the self test mode is initiated. The
printer self test includes a listing of the current default settings and Dip Switch information.

2) While pressing the paper BACK switch after the printer in turned on the self test mode is initiated.
The printer self test includes a listing of internal memory test, print head pin firing test, vertical line
alignment test, and multiple character fonts/sizes.

3) While pressing the paper ON LINE switch after the printer in turned on the self test mode is initiated.
The printer self test includes a listing of multiple international fonts and code pages.
The printer then enters into the On Line mode.

4. Configuration Setup
When the paper FEED switch is pressed and released instantly as the power is applied to the printer, the
printer will print the current printer configuration settings along with the DIP switch information. If the
printer setup needs to be changed, turn the Power Off before changing the setting.

The printer will be setup at the factory as follows;

5.1. Panel Switches
FEED button
Advance media in line feed increments if the FEED switch is pressed momentarily.
If the FEED switch is pressed for more than 1 seconds, the media will advance continuously until the
switch is released.

BACK button
Feed the media back in each line increment until 20 lines back if the BACK switch is pressed momentarily.
If the BACK switch is pressed for more than 1 second, the media will be fed back continuously up to 20
lines until the switch is released.

ON LINE button
If the switch is pressed, the printer turns to be in OFF LINE mode, and if pressed again, the printer is in
ON LINE mode and ready to print.
