2.2.1 Paper Loading
POS88V adopts 79.5mm width thermal paper roll.
Steps of Loading Thermal Paper Are as below:
Hold down the upper cover button on the left side, open the
movable upper cover, draw a certain length of the paper roll, put
the paper end on the print head, close the upper cover and press it
downwards lightly.
！Caution!
1. Pay attention to the direction of loading paper,
make the printing surface face to the print head.
2. Please don’t feed or draw the paper forwards or
backwards with hands.
3. Keep clean of the print head, avoid to influence
the printing quality.
2.2.2 Solution to Paper Jam
If cutter jam, turn off the power, and turn on again, the cutter will
be back to original position. If paper jam, open the paper strage
cover, and take out the paper. If the cutter can not be back to the
original position, open the cover of it, and turn the white plastic gear
by the direction suggestive on the cutter by hand to make the cutter
be back to the original position.

The parallel interface of POS88 Ⅴ printer is compatible with
CENTRONICS, supports BUSY or ACK handshaking protocol,
uses
36pin CENIRONICS socket (female)
The pin assignment of DB25 parallel interface is as Fig. 2-5 shows:

2.3.3 BLUETOOH interface connection
The handheld terminal, notebook computer or other terminals with
Bluetooth interface can print by POS80 driver. The printer Bluetooth
is compatible with Bluetooth 2.0 standard. Power Level is CLASS 2,
the valid distance is 10m. The printer Bluetooth is slave device. The
initial device name is POS80 BT Printer and initial password is
“1234”. The user can change device name and password, etc by
<T9 Setting Tool>. The detailed method about changing device
name and password can be checked in Help file of <T9 Setting
Tool>.
Before printing, the printer needs to pair with the Bluetooth host
device. The pair needs to be sponsored by the host device. Usually,
the pair steps are as below,
Turn on the printer
1. The host device searches the external Bluetooth device
2. If there are several external Bluetooth devices, choose printer
“POS80 BT Printer”
3. Input password “1234”
4. Finish pairing.
About the detailed methods of pairing, pls check The Bluetooth
Function Manual of the host device.
Note:
1. When pairing, the printer power must be in on status.
2. After the printer Bluetooth is paired with host device Bluetooth
successfully, it won’t be searched and paired with other host
Bluetooth device, until the Bluetooth pairing with current host
device stop.
3. After pairing successfully, the “Power” indicator will flicker.
2.3.4 BLUETOOH binding address
If the printer has binding address: The printer will remember the
paired host device address automatically. Once the printer
remembers the address, the connection will be only between it and
the remembered host device and can’t be searched or paired by
other device. So if the printer wants to connect with other device, it
needs to clear away the remembered address or set the mode to
no binding address. Reset the binding address mode (Set or
Cancel) will clear away the remembered address automatically.
If no binding address: The printer can be searched or paired by
other host device.
Therefore, if hope the printer to be connected with the only
specified host device and not with other host device, it is better to
binding the address. The detailed methods of setting binding
address can be checked in “T9 Setting Tool”.
2.3.5 Cash Drawer Interface
The cash drawer interface of POS-POS88Ⅴ adopts RJ-11 6-pin
socket, as Fig.2-7 shows:
Fig.2-7 Cash Drawer Interface
The pin assignment is as below：
Pin No. Signal Direction
1 Chassis Ground ——
2 Cash drawer driver signal 1 Out
3 Cash drawer on/off status signal In
4 +24VDC ——
5 Cash drawer driver signal 2 Out
6 Signal ground ——
2.3.6 Power Connection
POS88 Ⅴ uses the external power supply adopter as
24V±10％、2A,
power socket is A-1009-3P model, as Fig. 2-10 shows:
Fig.2-8 Power Socket
The pin assignment is as below：
Pin No. Signal
1 +24VDC
2 Ground
3 NC
2.4 Buttons and Indicators
There is one button and three indicators on POS88Ⅴ printer.
【FEED】is paper feeding button, the function of its enabling or
disabling the button on/off can be set by print command, when the
button is enabled, press 【 FEED 】 button, then the paper
presenting driver starts up and paper fed into the printer; release
【FEED】 button, paper feeding stops. The green POWER light is
the power indicator, red ERROR light is status indicator, it is dark
when the printer works normally, while it flashes when reporting an
abnormal emergency, as the following form shows:

Paper is running out
when the print head
cools.
Impossible to recover,
check if there is paper
jam.
When any error shown above occurs, pin “nFault” of parallel
change to “0” level, and send 1 bit wrong code through serial TXD
by itself, it can also send out the printer state by answer the ESC v
command.
Red indicator of “Paper Out ” is the paper out indicator. When
there is no paper in printer head, it will light, and it is off under
normal status.
2.5 Self-test
The self-test will check the condition of printer, if the printer
prints out the self-test receipt correctly, it means the printer works
normally, except interface with host. Otherwise it needs to repair.
The self-test will print out 96 ANK characters, default code page,
name of Chinese Character library, interface setting and software
version.
Way of self-test: hold down【FEED】button and turn on the
power, self-test begins automatically at this moment.
2.6 Hexadecimal Printing
Turn on the printer according to the step below, it will enter the
mode of Hexadecimal Printing
1.Open the cover；
2.Hold down【FEED】button，and connect with power；
3.Close the cover, the printer will print out 3 lines as below:
Hexadecimal Dump
To terminate hexadecimal dump,
Press FEED button three times.
This means the printer has entered hexadecimal printing mode,
and under this mode, all of the input will be printed out as
hexadecimal number, feed one line with single-click of “FEED”
button, after 3 times, it will print out “*** Completed ***”,and exit
hexadecimal printing mode.
