CBM-270 User’s Manual
PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
• Do not use or store the equipment in a place exposed to fire, moisture, or direct sunshine, or in a place
near a heater or thermal device where the prescribed operating temperature and humidity are not met, or
in a place exposed to much oil, iron powder, or dust. The equipment may become out of order, emit
smoke, or catch fire.
• Do not install or use the equipment in a place like a laboratory where chemical reactions are expected,
or in a place where salt or gases are contained in the air. There is a danger of fire or electric shock.
• Install the printer on a flat, stable desk or table that is free from vibration, in a well-ventilated place.
• Do not install the printer at a location where its operation could be hindered.
• Do not place anything on the printer or leave small objects, like a clip or pin, around it. A foreign object
could cause trouble if it gets inside.
• Do not use any sharp-pointed object, such as a pen, for example, to touch the operation panel of the
printer. It could cause trouble.
• Do not use the equipment near a radio or TV receiver. Do not share the power from a plug socket a
radio or TV receiver is connected to. It may cause a reception problem.
• Use the equipment only at the specified power supply, voltage and frequency. Otherwise, it may emit
smoke and catch fire or cause other problems.
• Connect only the specified power source. Use of an unspecified power source could cause trouble or
smoke/fire.
• Confirm that a plug socket used for connection has sufficient capacity.
• Avoid connecting a power cable to a plug socket shared by other devices or extending the wiring too
far. It may result in the cable catching fire or a power outage. Also, do not step on or apply an
excessive force (Pull, load) to the cable, and do not use the printer with such a force applied to it.
• Never connect a grounding cable (Frame ground) to a gas pipe. There is a danger of explosion. When
connecting or disconnecting the grounding cable, be sure to disconnect the power cable and the power
plug from the plug socket.
• When connecting/disconnecting the cables, be sure to turn off the power first, including the connected
side, and then connect/disconnect them, holding a plug and a connector. Pulling the cable itself could
cause it to snap or become damaged.
• Connect a power cable or a connector cable securely. If a reverse-polarity connection is made, internal
elements may be broken or a mating device may be adversely affected.
• Use a shielding wire or twisted pair wire for a signal line, in order to minimize noise effect. Do not
route the cable too long or connect it to a noisy device. Connection to a noisy device could cause
erroneous printing due to corrupt data, and so on.
• Use the equipment in an environment where there is a plug socket near the main body and you can
easily disconnect the power plug from it, to shut off the power.
• When the equipment will not be used for a long period of time, unplug it and remove the paper roll from
it.
• When transporting the equipment, remove the paper roll from the paper holder.

waiting state continues until the switch is pressed.
4.6.4 When the Label is Fed to the Paper Cutting Position by the Command
The PAPER lamp blinks. After cutting the paper, pressing the FEED switch searches for the head of the
next label. The waiting state continues until the switch is pressed.
CAUTION:
If the label paper is fed by 1 line by pressing the FEED switch, the label head position will be dislocated. Note
that if printing starts in this state, the label will be printed dislocated. (It is recommended to feed the paper by 1
label.)
4.7 Paper End Function
If the printing paper runs out, the parallel interface will output BUSY, FAULT, and PE to the host, and the
serial interface will output DTR to stop printing, respectively. If some data are still remaining in the buffer,
printing will be resumed after replacing the paper. Replace the paper according to "4.3 Inserting the Paper."
After replacing the paper, cancel BUSY (DTR), FAULT, and PE outputs. For details, see "4.8 Near Paper
End Function."
4.8 Paper Near End Function
If the paper is running out, the PNE sensor informs the host computer that the paper is running out, by
means of a signal output or the PAPER lamp on the panel. The PAPER lamp is illuminated unconditionally.
1. If the PNE sensor detects that the paper is running out, the PAPER lamp will be illuminated.
2. If PNE is enabled, the parallel interface will output PE. (At initial setting)
3. Printing is allowed up to about 1.5 m. (Initial value) After printing or feeding the paper by a specified
amount, the parallel interface will output BUSY and FAULT, and serial interface will output DTR to stop
printing, respectively.
4. Replace the paper according to the procedure in "4.3 Inserting the Paper."
5. After replacing the paper, cancel the BUSY (DTR), FAULT, and PE outputs.

(2) Print amount after detecting PNE
When PNE is enabled, a printable amount after PNE detection can be adjusted. PNE is detected when
the remaining amount of the paper roll is about 2∼3 m. (It depends on the paper quality used, paper
thickness, and operating environment.)
An initial value is 1.5 m. Up to 1.5 m can be printed after detecting PNE. At this time, with the
approx. 70µm-thick recommended paper, the remaining amount of the paper will be about 0.5∼1.5 m
when printing stops.
It can be adjusted between 0 and 2.55 m with a command. Adjust it depending on the operating
environment and paper quality.
Depending on an adjustment value, paper end may be detected (Printing stop) first.
If PNE is detected at power-on, a set amount of printing will be done from that point. (The default is
1.5 m)
CBM-270 User’s Manual
4.9 Auto-Loading Function
This printer has a function to automatically set the paper. If the paper end sensor, near paper end sensor, and
head-up lever are cancelled, the paper will be automatically fed by a constant amount in about 1 second.
(Up to the print start position of the second sheet in the case of label paper.)
In order to smooth operation, cancel the head-up mechanism last.
Also, you can use the DIP switch to enable/disable the function. If disabled, auto-loading will not be
performed. (The paper is fed to the print start position in the case of label paper.)
CAUTION:
1) When auto-loading is being activated, do not touch the paper roll, because it could result in a paper feed
failure or cause the paper to be one-sided.
2) Be sure to set the paper until it comes into contact with the platen roller; otherwise, the paper cannot be fed
and the printing head could be damaged.
3) In the case of label paper, if the label section or black mark (Between the labels) cannot be detected in
feeding the paper by a constant amount, the printer will illuminate the ERROR lamp and stop operation,
regarding it as a paper error.
4.10 Self-Print Function
This printer has a function to perform preset printing. Turn on the power with the FEED switch held down.
It will print the ROM version, DIP switch state, characters used, kanji, etc. After self-printing is completed,
the printer restores its normal operating conditions.
In the case of label paper, it is fed to the print start position of the next label.
CAUTION:
1) Do not use this function when the paper roll is running out.
2) If the label length is short in printing on label paper, printing will extend over several labels.
3) Data communication cannot be done during self-printing.
4) The print contents differ between thermal paper and label paper.

<Error Details>
Head-up ----- Occurs when the head-up lever is raised. The printer cannot feed the paper or print.
The parallel interface outputs BUSY and FAULT, and serial interface DTR,
respectively.
Head overheat ----- If the temperature of the printing head rises (About 60°C or more), in order to
protect it against overheating, a printing head temperature sensor will be activated to
stop printing. The parallel interface outputs BUSY and FAULT, and serial interface
DTR, respectively. If the temperature drops (About 55°C), printing will be
automatically resumed.
Paper near end ----- If the diameter of the paper roll decreases, the paper near end sensor will react to
inform you that the paper roll is running out. See "4.8 Paper Near End Function".
Paper end ----- If the paper roll runs out, the paper sensor near the printing head will react to stop
printing. See "4.7 Paper End Function".
Label paper error ----- Occurs if you set the thermal paper or non-specified label paper, when the label
paper has been selected. The parallel interface outputs BUSY and FAULT, and
serial interface DTR, respectively.

4.12 Red/Black Print (Precautions for Use)
(1) Types of paper
The red and black two-color thermal paper changes its colors by controlling the energy applied to the
thermal head. It is largely divided into two types, depending on the color development order. Select
CBM-270 User’s Manual
either of them to suit your application.
1. Red-based two-color thermal paper (PB670: MITSUBISHI PAPER MILLS)
Red print (low energy) → Black print (high energy)
2. Black-based two-color thermal paper (735FA: RICOH)
Black print (low energy) → Red print (high energy)
(2) High-energy printing rate
High-energy print (black print on red-based paper, or red print on black-based paper) required the
application of high energy to the thermal head. To protect the service life of the thermal head, use the
following printing rate as a guideline; use the fixed split (6-split) method.
1. Continuous print of high-energy print only : 6 % or less
2. Mixed continuous print of low-energy and high-energy print
: 30 % or less of the standard printing rate of
12.5 %
3. Printing rate per dot line : 50 % or less
(3) Minimum dots for high-energy print
When high-energy print is used, the recommended minimum area is 3 dots (length) × 3 dots (width) or
more. Depending on the set printing density, the paper used, or the printing characters, a sufficient
change of color tone may not be obtained even by high-energy print.
(Characters such as [, !, ', (, i, -, font B with small dot matrix)
It is recommended to use in such printing patterns as double-width characters, double-height characters,
double-width and -height characters.
CAUTIONS
1) If high-energy print is continuously carried out at a high operating ambient temperature, the thermal head
will become hot more quickly and the protective circuit will be activated, to stop printing more frequently.
Fully consider the working temperature and printing rate.
2) If a bar code is printed on the 2-color paper, both colors may appear in normal print and high-energy print,
or the bar code may not be correctly read by a bar code reader. Be fully aware of this when using the 2color paper.
3) Do not perform high-energy print on the single-color paper (regular thermal paper). It may deteriorate the
service life of the thermal head or the printing quality.
4) For setting, see Commands (DC3: Switching the Red/Black Printing).
5. DIP SWITCH SETTING

7.3 Input and Output Signals
7.3.1 Input and Output Signals
(1) RXD
Serial received data signal. If a framing error, overrun error, or parity error takes place, the relevant data
will be printed as "?".
(2) DTR
Write the data or a command when this signal is Ready. If you write at Busy, the previous data will be
ignored, resulting in an overrun error. The data can be written in the input buffer even during printing.
Busy is also issued at power-on, during test printing, at on-line, or at reset.
(3) TXD
If the remaining capacity of the input buffer comes to 128 bytes or less while receiving the data,
DC3(13H) will be output as a data not receivable signal. If the remaining capacity comes to 256 bytes or
more, DC1(11H) will be output to the host side as a data receivable signal.
When sending the status information, it is confirmed that DSR is a space prior to sending the data, if
DTR/DSR control has been selected. If DTR/DSR control has not been selected, the data will be sent,
ignoring the DSR signal.
(4) FG
Ground for the case
(5) GND
Common ground for the circuits

7.3.2 Data Configuration
Mark
Space (1) (2) (3)
(1) Start bit
The system reads the status again after a lapse of 1/2 bit from a fall edge from the mark to space, and if it
is a space, this bit will be recognized as the start bit.
If it is a mark, the system will not recognize the bit as the start bit and try to detect the start bit again
without judging it as an error.
t
b0, b1, b2, • • • •
(1) Start Bit
(2) Data Bit (+ Parity Bit)
(3) Stop Bit (1 or More)
(2) Data bits + Parity bit
The system samples the data bits and parity bit for the 1 bit worth of time from 1/2 start bit and assumes
the then status as the data for the relevant bits. The bits are called Bit 0, Bit 1, ..., Parity bit, counting
from the one closest to the start bit.
(3) Stop bit
The stop bit is the Mark level of 1 bit or more. If a space is detected in detecting the stop bit, a framing
error will result.
7.3.3 Error Detection
The system detects a parity, framing, or overrun error. If an error is detected, the relevant data will be
stored in the buffer as "?".
(1) Parity error
With a parity check specified, if an error is detected at parity check time, the relevant data will be
stored in the buffer as "?".
(2) Framing error
This error results if the Space status is detected at stop bit detection time. The relevant data will be
stored in the buffer as "?".
(3) Overrun error
If an overrun error is detected, the relevant data will be stored in the buffer as "?".
7.3.4 Data Receiving Control
If DTR/DSR control has been selected, the data from the host side will be received when the BUSY signal
is at "Low," but not received when at "High." If DTR/DSR has not been selected, the data from the host
side will be received after sending XON, but not after sending XOFF.
CBM-270 User’s Manual
7.3.5 Buffering
To transfer the data to the input buffer, there are two control signals available: DTR signal and TXD
signal. The host side is immediately freed, since the data can be buffered up to 2 KB.
(1) DTR signal (See 7.3.1-(2))
(2) TXD signal (See 7.3.1-(3))

TÄGLICHE WARTUNG
• Bei der Wartung immer den Netzschalter des Druckers auf Aus stellen und den Stecker aus der Steckdose
ziehen.
• Schmutz und Staub mit einem trockenen, weichen Tuch vom Druckergehäuse abwischen. Bei starker
Verschmutzung einen Lappen in Wasser anfeuchten, auswringen und damit abwischen. Hierzu niemals
flüchtige organische Lösungsmittel, wie z.B. Alkohol, Terpentin, Trichlorethan, Benzol, Keton oder
chemische Staubentfernungsmittel, verwenden.
• Papierstaub mit einer weichen Bürste vom Gehäuse entfernen. Darauf achten, nicht den Druckkopf zu
beschädigen.
VORSICHT:
Druckkopf und Motor werden sehr heiß. Diese Teile nicht sofort nach dem Drucken berühren. Nicht die
Heizfläche des Kopfes mit bloßer Hand oder Metall berühren.
• Reinigen des Druckkopfes
1. Die Druckwalzeneinheit unter Beachtung der Anweisungen in "4.5 Beheben von Papierstau"
entfernen.
2. Den Staub von der Oberfläche der Heizeinheit mit einem mit Äthylalkohol getränkten Wattetupfer
abwischen.
3. Die Druckwalzeneinheit wieder anbringen.
VORSICHT:
Die Wartung nicht direkt nach dem Drucken ausführen, da Druckkopf und Motor sich beim Betrieb stark
erhitzen.
Nicht die Oberfläche der Heizeinheit des Druckkopfes mit der bloßen Hand oder mit Metallgegenständen
berühren. Beim Abnehmen oder Wiederanbringen der Druckwalze immer den Druckkopf anheben;
andernfalls könnten die Teile beschädigt werden. Die ausgebaute Druckwalzeneinheit vorsichtig zu
