Connection of External Units

A serial interface V.24/DB25 (RS232) and a parallel interface (Centronics) are integrated as standard for connection of the printer to the computer.
Optional there is a RS 485 interface available - the RS 232 can be (factory installed) removed and changed to a RS 485 interface. Be aware that the RS 232 interface then is removed !
The rear side of the unit is, in addition, equipped with one ore two sockets for the connection of an external unit.
Attention: Turn off unit prior to plugging/unplugging interface cable/stacker connector
Exclusively units tested in accordance with IEC 950 and VDE 0805-which are in compliance with these standards according to SELV- must be connected to interface and stacker socket.

Card Plug in Modules

These plug in modules are provided for the optional font and logo cards. Use PCMCIA cards up to a size of 2 MB only. There is a maximum of 1 logo card alone or together with a font card – as well one or two font cards are possible. Logo Cards and data bank cards are formatted by the printer itself.
Font cards are to be programmed by supplier only.
Attention: Exclusively plug in cards approved by the manufacturer must be used Insert,
remove, or exchange card not until 60 seconds after disconnection of unit.

Memory types

PROM card (Programmable Read Only Memory)
Programmable only with a special program unit (EPROM burner) – it is a on time card, normally used to store fonts and logos witch are used again and again in the same shape size or look like. The card will be programmed in the factory due to the customer wishes.
Memory size and capacity depends to the printer.
EPROM card (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory)
Programmable only with a special program unit (EPROM burner) – it is a on time card, normally used to store fonts and logos witch are used again and again in the same shape size or look like. The card will be programmed in the factory due to the customer wishes. The difference between EPROM and PROM card is that the EPROM card can be cleared by using ultra violet light.
Is not used in our printer.
EEPROM or E²PROM (Electric Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory)
The function is similar to an EPROM card – to clear the memory there is no light used, it works with electric power. The clear procedure is very slow. The data are hold in the memory after power down – without battery !
Is not used in our printer.

FLASH RAM / PROM card
A name used and defined by the company INTEL witch has used this technology first. The memory is build similar to the EEPROM but can be cleared in single sectors. A low voltage (5V) is enough to clear the memory and this voltage is available in the most places (PC/printer). The clear procedure is very fast, the data’s are stored in the memory after power down – without battery.
This card is re programmable and can be programmed in a PC with the data’s. Stored on this card type can be fonts and logos – same as on the EPROM card. In difference it is possible to store as well formats.
Memory size is different depending on card type and printer.
RAM card (Random Access Memory)
Very fast, volatile memory. Each single memory cell is programmable and readable. Using RAM card means that a battery is used to make the memory non volatile- the data’s are still in the memory after power is switched off, reasoned by the power of the battery.
The card type is re programmable and depending on the printer type the card can be programmed in the printer (via down load) or at the PC. It is possible to store – similar to the EPROM card, as well logos fonts but different to the EPROM card as well formats.
Memory size is different depending on card type and printer.

Card use

Depending on the printer type the cards can be used different. Attached you will find a table showing card type, menu point to clear the card – where the card has to be formatted – and as well the quantity of files.

Please follow during media / ribbon change the upper diagrams ! This is showing the used directions of ribbon and media ( insert ribbon – insert media)
Attention : Sometimes it is helpful to release the head and rotate the head to insert ribbon
into the printer (esp. For TTX 450 / Puma / S 45) ! As well rotating the head means that the wires connected to the head can be to short – then please disconnect the wires – only if the printer is switched OFF ! Do not forget to connect again – and check if the connectors are properly mounted !
This is shown in the following chapters as well.
