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,
RS232+IRDA). The printer may be powered using an external adapter.

The desktop version (with RS232 interface) without battery is intended for
the instrumentation, retail and general cash register sectors (for example,
terminals for credit card payment).
It is important to note that s’ print is the first Custom printer designed with

(Fig. 1)

“sixload” easy paper load, making it simpler and more convenient to use.

It has a 203 dpi thermal print mechanism that utilizes 57.5mm-wide paper
rolls and can print up to 24 or 40

(1)

charaters per line.

NOTE

The 40 column version is downloadable on the Support/Download/
Firmware section from www.custom.it web site.

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).

(Fig. 2)

INTRODUCTION

DPT100-S

(Tab.1)

• 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, otherwise it returns to operating status.
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:

1.1 CONNECTIONS

1.1.1 Power Supply

For the Battery Recharger/Power Supply and serial connection, the printer is
equipped with a connecting cable (fig. 1.2) that comes packed with the
printer and has a double connection system. On one side is a 9-pin female
connector (fig. 1.2.A) for the serial port; on the other side of the same
connector is a RJ11 connector (fig. 1.2.B) and a jack (fig. 1.2.C) for
connection to an external adapter (fig. 1.2.D).

To supply power to the printer and for the serial connection, use the
connection cable (fig. 1.2) that comes packed with the printer and following
the instructions listed in the paragraph 1.1.3.

(Fig.1.2.A)

1.1.2 Turning the printer On and Off

How to turn the printer On

• Connect the power supply to the printer (see sec. 1.2)

How to turn the printer Off

• Turn off the power supply.

1.1.3 Connection with the power supply

To supply the printer use the adapter and cable packed with the printer and
proceed as follows:

• connect the adapter jack to the cable jack (see fig. 1.3) and plug the
adapter into the electrical mains;

• connect the cable RJ11 connector to the RJ11 connector located under
the printer (see fig. 1.3).

1.2 CONFIGURATION

The printer set up print out (see fig. 1.4) includes a range of information, and
among these should be pointed out.

The printer’s configurable

(1)

parameters are:

• Baud Rate: 38400, 19200, 9600D, 4800, 2400, 1200, 600.

• Data length: 7, 8D bits/car.

• Parity: NoneD, even or odd.

• Handshaking: XON/XOFFD or Hardware.

• Autofeed: CR deactivatedD or CR activated.

• Consumption: Low power, High power

D

(2)

.

• Print density: -2, -1, 0D, +1, +2.

Please note: the parameters marked with the symbol D represent the default
values.

(1)

Note: the printer interface is fixed setted to RS232.

(2)

Note: this parameter regulates the type of power supply setting; the default value

is High power. For further details please refers to the 1.2.1 section.

DPT100-S

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.

1.2.1 Printing optimization using the power supply

It’s possible to optimize the printing, configuring in appropriate way, on the
basis of printing tipology, the “Consumption” parameter, that indicate the type
of power supply setting. The default value, setted during the printer setup, is
High power.

With the power supply that comes packed with the printer, proceeds as
follows :

1) if the performances in printing are not considerables, in the printer
setup configure the Consumption parameter setting the value to Low
power

(3)

.

(3)

NOTE: if the Consumption parameter is setted to Low power, it’ s advisable not to

exceed the black per cent over 80 % (each dotline should have 300 dot on at most ).

2) For dot’s quantity superior to 80%

(4)

use a different

(5)

power supply than

the one equipped with the printer.

(4)

NOTE: the per cents reported as analytic data indicate the number of dots on

in a dotline.

(5)

NOTE: to use the printer with a higher speed feed it with a power rate superior to

25W.

1.3 HEXADECIMAL DUMP

This function is used to display the characters received from the
communications port; after the reception of each 10 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

1.4 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).

3.1 CONTROL CHARACTERS

The command table lists all the commands for the management of the
printer functions. These commands can be transmitted to the printer with the
serial interface. The commands can be transmitted to the printer at any
moment, but they will only be carried out when the characters previously
transmitted have been printed or the commands previously transmitted have
been carried out. There are no commands with priority status; all the
commands are carried out when the circular buffer is free to do so.

[Name] Graphic mode
[Format] ASCII -

Hex 11
Decimal 17

[Description] Enables graphic mode:

a line in 24 column mode corresponds to 144 horizontal dots
divided into 24 blocks of 6 dots each; a line in 40 column
mode corresponds to 240 horizontal dots divided into 40
blocks of 6 dots each.

[Notes] To obtain graphic printing, enter the command $11 at the

beginning of each line. The format of the byte in graphic
configuration is:

X R P6 P5 P4 P3 P2 P1

D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
where:

X is not used (0 is recommended);
R must be fixed at level 1;
P1,.P6 are the graphic dot data (1 prints, 0 does not print).

The P6 bit of the string of dots transmitted is printed on the
left and the others follow from left to right (P5, P4, P3, P2,
