PRINTER FEATURES
The new s’ print portable thermal printer offers an innovative alternative to impact-based systems, with a range of interface options (RS232 serial, R232+IRDA, RS232+Bluetooth® wireless technology). The printer is powered using batteries. The battery version (with RS232+IRDA interface) is primarily intended for the automatic identification and mobile telephony market, combined with portable terminals without printer; the infrared bidirectional interface with which it is equipped makes cable connection—so “inconvenient” for portable devices—unnecessary.
The BT version is powered by batteries (5 rechargeable AA penlight batteries), and communicates through RS232 serial interface and Bluetooth® wireless technology. s’print-BT is a light weight and slim printer. By means of the Bluetooth® wireless technology it is capable to print wireless at high speed without any alignment. The ideal and best match of s’print-BT is together with PDAs, mobile phones, laptop computers, and automatic ID devices. The supported Bluetooth® technology profiles are SPP (Serial Port Profile) that provides RS232 serial cable emulation, and OPP (Object Push Profile) enabling the print-out of vCard format objects (business cards).
It is important to note that s’ print is the first Custom printer designed with “sixload” easy paper load, making it simpler and more convenient to use.

PRINTER DESCRIPTION
The printers consists of a ABS-V0 casing (1) equipped with a cover (2) under which is housed the paper roll and print mechanism. On the front is the multi-function key (3) and red LED (4).
Multi-function key. This key is used to access a variety of printer options depending on how long it is
held down. If the printer is off (red LED off), when this key is pressed power is turned on (blinking red LED). To turn the printer off the key is pressed two times (the LED begins to blink faster) and if it is not pressed again within three seconds the printer shuts off. During the power-up phase, if the key is held down for at least three seconds, the printer enters the configuration mode and prints out a printer setup report. When the print-out is complete, the printer remains in stand-by to receive characters from the serial interface that are printed out in hexadecimal code. If the key is pressed, the printer by-passes the setup mode and terminates the hexadecimal dump function. Pressing the key quickly will exit the configuration mode, while if it is held down for at least a second, it is possible to make changes in the individual parameters.
The red LED displays printer operating status and this check is performed “on-line”. Table 1 lists
operating statuses and the LED signals connected to them:

1.2.2 Information regarding battery use
Please note that the new NiMH battery reaches maximum performance levels only after having been
completely discharged and recharged at least two or three times.
Never use battery rechargers and/or batteries that are damaged or worn.
Battery life varies greatly depending, for example, on print density and the text to be printed.
Recharge times vary depending on depletion levels, type of battery and battery recharger used. Batteries
may be recharged and discharged hundreds of times, but they do wear out over time. When battery life (both print and stand-by) is noticeably shorter than usual, it is time to buy a new battery.
Only utilize batteries that conform to specifications and only recharge them using battery rechargers
approved by CUSTOM ENGINEERING SPA.
When the battery recharger is not in use, unplug it from the electrical mains. If not used, even a completely-
charged battery will automatically discharge over time.
NiMH batteries last longer if you remember to completely discharge them every so often.
Extreme temperatures can affect battery charge levels—leave them to cool or warm as required.
1.2.3 Replacing batteries
Instead of the rechargeable battery pack supplied with the printer, 5 AA ALKALINE penlight batteries may be used
(5)(6)
.
(5)
Note: if batteries other than those supplied with the printer are used, the Battery parameter in setup must modified and the settings changed to Alkaline if Alkaline batteries are used, or the to closest reference value for other types of batteries (see sec. 1.3).
(6)
Note: if Alkaline batteries are used it doesn’t make the recharge.
To replace batteries, proceed as follows:
remove the cover on the battery compartment (1) by unscrewing the screws (2) and, using a flat-head
screwdriver, pry open at points A and B (see fig.1.5).

1.3 CONFIGURATION
1.3.1 Configuration Mod. DPT100-B/I
The printer set up print out (see fig. 1.9) includes a range of information, and among these should be pointed out the HEAD VOLT parameter that indicates the battery charge level, i.e., the print head battery voltage.

(8)
Note: 0If the Interface parameter is set in infrared and flow control is required, any time a transmission is effected a time break of one time and a half the byte transmission is needed (for example 1.5 msec at 9600 bps). The reason is for Half Duplex type of infrared line communication. As a result the Busy condition check must be waited when transmitting data to the printer. If said condition would slow down print-out, it is alternatively possible to transmit the bytes to be printed in fixed length blocks (for example 16 bytes at a time) and to wait for the necessary time to receive a likely XON/XOFF.
(9)
Note: The “IR Protocol” parameter is visualizzato only if interface is set in“Infrared”.
(10)
Note: It is not possible to modify the "flow control" parameter if interface is set in infrared because
it is automatically set in XON/XOFF.
(11)
Note: This parameter regulates battery recharge time. If set to Alkaline, battery recharge is disabled. If another type of battery other than those supplied with the printer is used, select the closest appropriate charge value from the list.
(12)
Note
This parameter regulates the period of inactivity after which the printer shuts off automatically to
avoid battery discharge.
Each time the key is pressed quickly, the parameter will change and the current value will be printed out. Once the desired value has been attained, hold the key down for at least a second to pass to the next parameter, and so on. Printing out of a new printer set up report indicates that set up is complete.
1.3.2 Configuration Mod. DPT100-BT

(12)
NOTE: It’s the name that identify the printer from a Bluetooth wireless remote device.
(13)
NOTE: BT PIN is the password that permit to connect to the printer, if some Bluetooth wireless
devices request it.
(14)
NOTE: BT Name ID needs to diversify one printers from another that have the same name, inside the same area. The index will be added at the end of the name (example: S’print-BT #1). It’s possible that some Bluetooth wireless remote device don’t update immediatly printer name, but only at the beginning of new connection. This happened because most of remote devices create a page table between Bluetooth wireless technology address (that is passed on every access) and the identification name. So the method of research of remote devices is sensibly faster, but it involves that the printer name (or others devices BT) is update only sometimes, for the most part it happened at the beginning of new connection.
(15)
NOTE: The authentication needs to enable the password entry, from the host at every connection, for printing. This option activation allows to print even if sameone isn’t enable to do it . If sameone is enable to use the printer (and consequenty to know the password), it’s possible to execute an operation of “pairing” (combination of the devices) in this operation the password is requested only one time. It’s possible, when the devices are coupled, to access to printing service without password.
The BT name, BT PIN, BT name ID and the authentication become actives only turning off and than turning on the printer, reset commands or reset after set up don’t get actives those setting.
If Bluetooth wireless technology is enable, it’s better do not send data on RS232 line, because datas could set over Bluetooth wireless line.

1.4 HEXADECIMAL DUMP
This function is used to display the characters received from the communications port; after the reception of each 6 characters from the communications port, the printer prints out both the hexadecimal code received as well as the corresponding ASCII code. Shown below is an example of a Hexadecimal Dump:
48 65 78 61 64 65 Hexade 63 69 6D 61 6C 20 cimal 64 75 6D 70 20 66 dump f 75 6E 63 74 69 6F unctio 6E 20 30 31 32 33 n 0123 34 35 36 37 38 39 456789 61 62 63 64 65 66 abcdef 67 68 69 6A 6B 6C ghijkl 6D 6E 6F 70 71 72 mnopqr 73 74 75 76 77 78 stuvwx 79 7A yz
1.5 SIXLOAD
The printer has been designed with an easy paper load system to improve handling and simplify use. This easy paper loading system is called “sixload” because when the paper is loaded into the printer, it looks like the number “6” (the roll on the bottom with the edge lifted).
1.6 MAINTENANCE
1.6.1 Changing the paper roll
To change the roll of paper, proceed as follows:
1) Open the printer cover (see fig. 1.12) levering on the cover lateral projections and position the paper roll so that it unrolls in the direction shown in figure 1.13;

2.2 INFRARED BIDIRECTIONAL SERIAL (only DPT100-B model)
The printer has a serial interface for bidirectional data exchange. The infrared port is centered on the power part of the front (see fig. 2.4); it uses the encode method bits as described in the IrDA physical layer, for speeds up to 1 15.2 kbps (a 3/16th optical pulse time of bit time).

T o utilize the infrared bidirectional serial interface, it must first be enabled under setup (p arameter: “Interface: Infrared”). It is possible to communicate with the printer in two different ways: by sending a string of characters and/or commands preceded by the IR port Open command and followed by a Close command (standard mode), or by utilizing a simple transfer protocol that guarantees that data is compressed correctly by the printer .
2.2.1 Standard Mode
To utilize the printer in standard mode, set the “IR protocol” parameter to Disabled. In this mode, the data flow to the printer must be structured as follows:
ST AR T COMMAND ($1B $02): the IR port opening command, it is composed of 2 bytes with values $1B
$02. All characters received before this command, when the communication port is closed, are ignored.
DA TA/COMMANDS: the part of the data and/or commands the printer must elaborate and its
length is variable. This field may include both data to be printed and control characters (see Section 3 “Printer Functions”). To guarantee that all data is received correctly , this field is subject to handshaking software (xon/xof f).
STOP COMMAND ($1B $03): the IR port closing command, it is composed of 2 bytes with values $1B $03. All
characters received after this command are ignored, unless it is a START COMMAND.
EXAMPLE: T o use this protocol to print the text “CUST OM” in double height and width, send the following dat a to the
printer
NOTE:The LED is always switched on (not flashing) when using the infrared port.

2.2.2 InfraRed communication protocol
To utilize the IR communication protocol, the “IR Protocol” must first be set to “Enabled” under setup. The transfer protocol is structured as follows:
STX [1byte] = $02 Start Transmission ID LUNG [1byte] = number of bytes in the transmitted data field. The maximum number of bytes to be
transmitted must be <=48.
DA T I [LUNG bytes] = data to be communicated to the printer.
The datafield may include both data to be printed and command characters (see Section 3 “Printer Functions”).
ID JOB [1byte] = ID of the data packet received. The $00 value of this data field is reserved. This
number must be different for each transmission: a data packet with the same ID JOB as the previous data packet is formally accepted (an ACK message is transmitted), but it is not interpreted by the printer.
CKS [1byte] = Check sum of the transmitted bytes: the check sum is calculated as an 8 bit sum of
all previous fields (STX, LUNG , DA TI, ID JOB)
One of three responses may be sent back to the printer: ACK, NACK and BUSY. The structure of these responses is as follows:
STX [1byte] = $02 Start Transmission ID TYPE [1byte] = Response type: ACK ($06), NACK ($15) and BUSY ($13)) STS [1byte] = Printer status: the byte is structured like that

An ACK response is returned in the event the entire protocol was interpreted correctly and the check sum calculated is the same as that received by the host. A NACK response is returned in the event of transmission errors that cause a discrepancy between the calculated and received check sums. A BUSY response is returned in the event the printer does not have sufficient memory to store the transmitted data. If this response is returned, use the STS byte to find the cause that generated the BUSY condition. If there are no errors (no paper, head overheating or incorrect electrical volt age), the BUSY message has been generated because the buffer is full and it is necessary to wait for the buffer to empty; then change the IDJOB field and repeat the transmission.
EXAMPLE: T o use this protocol to print the text “CUST OM” in double height and width, send the following dat a to the
printer
2.2.3 Printing instructions

2.3.1 IrDA DATA PROTOCOLS SUPPORTED
The printer supports these required IrDA standard protocols:
Physical Signaling Layer(PHY)
Link Access Protocol(IrLAP)
Link Management Protocol/information Access Service(IrLMP/IAS) The printer also supports some of the optional protocols for IrDA data. The optional protocols that the printer implements are:
IrCOMM
2.3.1.1 Physical Signal Layer(PHY)
The printer provides the following Physical Signal Layer specification support:
Bi-directional communication
Data Packets are protected by a CRC-16-bit CRC for speeds up to 38400 kbaud
Data communication Rate-9600 baud minimum data rate (with primary speed/cost steps of 38400
baud)
Communication Range
Continuous operation from contact to at least 1 meter (typically 2 meters can be reached), all the same
it’s possible in a low power devices reduce the distance at least 20 cm.
2.3.1.2 IrLAP
The IrLAP protocol provides:
Management of communication processes on the link between devices.
A device-to-device connection for the reliable, ordered transfer of data.
Device discover procedures.
Hidden node handling. Figure 2-6 identifies the key parts and hierarchy of the IrDA protocols. The bottom layer is the Physical layer, IrPHY. This is the part that converts the serial data to and from pulses of IR light. IR transceivers can’t transmit and receive at the same time. The receiver has to wait for the transmitter to finish sending. This is sometimes referred to as a “Half-Duplex” connection. The IR Link Access Protocol (IrLAP) provides the structure for p ackets or “frames” of data to emulate data that would normally be free to stream back and forth.
Figure 2-7 shows how the IrLAP frame is organized. The frame is proceeded by some number of Beginning of frame characters,(BOFs). The value of the BOF is generally $C0, but 0xFF may be used if the last BOF character is a $C0. The purpose of multiple BOFs is to give the other station some warning that a frame is coming. The IrLAP frame begins with an address byte (“A” field), then a control byte(“C” field). The control byte is used to differentiate between different types of frames and is also used to count frames. Frames can carry status, data, or commands. The IrLAP protocol has a command syntax of it’s own, and these commands are part of the control byte. Lastly, IrLAP frames carry data. This data is the information or “I” field. The integrity of the frame is ensured with a 16-bit CRC, referred to as the Frame Check Sequence (FCS). The end of the frame is marked with an EOF character which is always a $C1. The frame structure described here is used for all versions of IrDA protocols used for serial wire replacement for speeds up to 38400 baud. In addition to defining the frame structure, IrLAP provides the “housekeeping” function of opening and closing connections, and maintaining connections once they’ re open. The critical parameters that determine the

performance of the link are part of this function. These parameters control how many BOFs are used, identify the speed of the link, how fast either party may change from receiving to transmitting, etc. IrLAP has the responsbility of negotiating these parameters to the highest common set so that both sides can communicate as fast and as reliably as possible.
2.3.1.3 IrLMP
The IrLMP protocol provides:
Multiplexing of the IrLAP layer. This allows multiple channels above an IrLAP connection.
Protocol and service discovery. This is via the Information Access Service (IAS). When two devices that contain the IrDA standard feature are connected, there is generally one device that has something to do, and the oder device has the resource to do it. For example, a laptop may have a job to print and an IrDA standard comp atible printer has the resources to print it. In IrDA standard terminology, the laptop is a Primary device and the printer is the Secondary device. When these two devices connect, the Primary device must determine the capabilities of the Secondary device to determine if the Secondary device is capable of doing the job. This determination is made by the Primary device asking the Secondary device a series of questions. Depending on the answers to these questions the Primary device may or may not elect to connect to the Secondary device. The queries from the Primary device are carried to the Secondary device using IrLMP. The responses to these queries can be found in the Information Access Service (IAS) of the Secondary device. The IAS is a list of the resources of the Secondary device. The Primary device compares the IAS responses with its requirements and then makes the decision if a connection should be made.
2.3.1.4 Link Management-Information Access Service (LM-IAS)
Each LM-IAS entity maintains an information data base to provide:
Information on service for other devices that contain the IrDA standard feature (Discovery)
Information on service for the device itself
Remote accessing of another device’s information base This is required so that clients on a remote device can find configuration information needed to access a service.
2.3.1.5 IrCOMM
IrCOMM provides the method to support serial and parallel port emulation. This is useful for legacy COM applications, such as printers and modem devices. The IrCOMM standard is simply a syntax that allows the primary device to consider the Secondary device as a serial device. IrCOMM allows for emulation of serial or parallel (printer) connections of various capabilities. The printer supports the 3-wire Raw service class of IrCOMM and IrLPT. Other service classes supported by IrCOMM are shown in Figure 2-8.

2.3.1.5.1 3-Wire Raw and IrLPT in Detail
3-Wire raw and IrLPT may be used to emulate either serial or parallel ports in cases where a single exclusiveconnection is satisfactory . They can emulate both port types because there is no control channel, and therefore no information about the non-data circuits of either type is carried - only the data normally flowing through thedata circuits is emulated. If data transfer is all a port needs to function, then 3-Wire raw or IrLPT may be fine.
2.3.1.5.2 How 3-Wire raw and IrLPT differ
3-Wire raw and IrLPT are two names for the same COMM emulation service. IrLPT was built into some commercially available devices before this IrCOMM specification was complete, and is included here for compatibility . There are two dif ferences between 3-W ire raw and IrLPT:
• IrLPT has a fixed definition and purpose - it is for printing only . IrCOMM 3-Wire raw can be used forboth printing and non-printing tasks
• 3-Wire raw uses an IAS entry with classname IrDA:IrCOMM and at least two parameters. Its IAS definition may be modified or extended over time. IrLPT has classname IrLPT, only one parameter, and the IAS definition isfixed. IAS entry formats are defined in the next section. Beyond these two distinctions, 3-Wire raw and IrLPT are the same.
2.3.1.5.3 IAS entry and hint bits
An entity advertising 3-Wire raw must set up the IAS entry in one of two forms:
• Classname IrDA:IrCOMM with two attributes, called IrDA:IrLMP:LsapSel, and Parameters. The Parameters attribute has at least the service type parameter with at least the 3-Wire raw bit set in it. Optionally IrDA:IrLMP:InstanceName can be used to distinguish between two instances of this service. The Discovery frame must have the IrCOMM hint bit set. It should also have the printer bit set if this is a printing service.
• An alternate entry provided for backwards compatibility with some existing devices has Classname IrLPT with just one attribute, called IrDA: IrLMP :LsapSel. The printer hint bit must be set in the Discovery frame. This IAS object is only used for printing services.

2.3.1.5.4 Basic link operation
3-Wire raw connections must be exclusive - that is, all other non-IAS connections must terminate before the raw connection is made, and all others must wait until the raw connection is broken before they can connect. This is because 3-Wire raw uses IrLAP flow control, which flow controls off the entire physical link - multiple connections under this scenario could result in deadlock. At connection, the 3-Wire raw service type can be distinguished reliably by its LSAP-SEL alone, since unlike the cooked types (where multiple service types can be referenced by IrDA:TinyTP:LsapSel) only 3-Wire raw can use the LSAP-SEL specified by IrDA:IrLMP:LsapSel. Once connected there is no control channel and no control parameters of any kind to look for - the only data that comes over 3-Wire raw is the user data that would flow over TD and RD on a serial port or the 8 data lines of a Centronics port. This means 3-Wire raw cannot be used to emulate any kind of hardware handshaking or error reporting.
2.4 BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGY PROTOCOL OVERVIEW (Only mod. DPT100-BT)
In the following paragraph there is a brief description of Bluetooth wireless technology protocol implemented in the printer and differented elements that composed Bluetooth technology protocol. To use the Bluetooth wireless communication protocol is necessary that in the set up the parameter “Interface” in “BT”. The printer is able to receive within a range of 10 m in a vacant envoirement.
2.4.1 Supported Protocols
The figure 2.10 shows the protocols that are previews in the standard Bluetooth wireless technology, and the profiles that have been implemented in the printer (Object push profile e Serial port profile).

2.4.1.1 Serial Port Profile
The Serial Port Profile provides RS232 serial cable emulation for Bluetooth wireless technology devices. In this way, legacy applications do not have to be modified to use Bluetooth technology; they can simply treat Bluetooth wireless link as a serial cable link. The Serial Port Profile uses RFCOMM to provide serial port emulation. The device which sets up the RFCOMM connection is called the initiator, while the other is referred to responder . A few passages are requested to set the virtual serial port and to establish a connection, so it is necessary. that on the side host a software management of the Bluetooth wireless technology devices must manage to execute every of these passages (the search of removedevices, the optional request of the password, chanal setting RFCOMM, ecc.).
2.4.1.2 Object Push Profile
L’object push profile, uses the Generic Object Exchange Profile (GOEP) services that defines 2 rules: the first is a server devices that the object can be send or receive (the printer is a server devices) and a client devices that can send or receives data objects from the server (for example: a Pc, a cell Phone, or a Palm). The Object Push Profile provides facilities for exchanging business cards between client and server, for pulling business cards from a server, and for pushing a limited range of object onto a server.

A.1 TICKET ALIGNMENT
A.1.1 Ticket alignment
Paper stock with alignment marks is permitted so that tickets of a fixed length or with pre-printed areas may be utilized.To guarantee proper alignment, the “Alignment” parameter must be enabled under setup using the key (see: setting configuration parameters) The notch mark must be placed on the termic side of the ticket itself (printable area) . The label dimension is:
* The listed value showed with on asterisk in the fig.A1 indicates the minum dimension controlled
A.1.2 Alignment Description
The $1D $F6 command searches for the reference notch on the paper and move the label with the value of nH e nL parameters. For move in the exact point for printing on the label just give the right values to parameters nH and nL.
Example: To print a logo on a ticket like in to fig.A1 with the hole (or notch) at the end of the ticket,
the following command must be sent: $1D, $F6, $FF, $7B (perform alignment) $1B, $FA, $00, $55 (print logo)
In this example, nH and nL are expressed in module 2 so that the motor will recede.
The nH e nL parameter are calculated in the following mode:
1) Find the shift to effect, after the alignment from: Distance =Label dimension - Distance from sensor end printing line=
= 25.4 (mm) - 8.7 (mm) = 16.7 mm
2) Distance in dot ( express at 200 dpi ) = 16.7 (mm) * 8 (dot/mm) = 133 dot
3) The shift is negative because the motor must be moved backwards and then should be express number in complement 2 whose corresponds to $FF $7B.
NOTE: Among printers could be a difference among alignment,these difference is dued from
the sensibility of the alignment notch.
