The TPTCM printer series is comprised of printers designed to emit high-resolution thermal-printed tickets ideal
for use in information and multimedia kiosks, self-service machines, no-queue systems, parking areas, gaming
machines and toll receipt machines.
Two ticket presentation systems are available on the TPTCM series:
- Motor-driven dispenser with sensors on the dispenser that holds the ticket while it is being printed and then
delivers it once it has been cut. Ideal for those systems requiring a variable-length ticket.
- Static presenter: Delivers and manages ticket presence using a p aper sensor in outfeed. Ideal for those
systems in which printed ticket length is fixed.
The TPTCM series offers a wide range of options in addition to normal print features:
• High speed printing: G 140mm/sec,H 120 mm/sec.
• ESC/POS™ and CUSTOM TPT emulation.
• Bar code UPC-A. UPC-E, EAN13, EAN8, CODE39, ITF , CODABAR, CODE93, CODE128 and
CODE32.
• 6 standard and international character set fonts.
• Completely- or partially-programmable fonts.

• When the LINE FEED (6) key is pressed, the printer advances the paper so that it may be inserted
manually in the printing mechanism. During power-up, if the LINE FEED key is held down, the printer will
perform the FONT TEST routine. If it has the version with chinese simplified font GB2312 (option 0104) at
the end of the FONT TEST is printed all characters set (about 7000).
• If the FORM FEED (5) key is enabled, when it is pressed the printer advances the paper the number of
increments programmed in the Eeprom. If the FORM FEED key is not enabled and the printer is in
Custom Emulation mode, when the key is pressed, the code $0C is transmitted on the RS232 serial
line. This function may be modified by the $1B $3D software command (see section on software
commands).
• During power-up, if both keys are held down, the printer enters the print setup routine. Following the
print-out of the setup report, the printer remains in standby until a key is pressed or signals arrive from
the serial port; each 10 characters it prints out hexadecimal and ASCII codes (if the characters are
underlined, the receive buffer is full); see Receive buffer hexidecimal print-out.
• T o entry in the notch sensor autocalibration phase (printer option 0103) press the LINE FEED key during
the printer power-up. Af ter the beginning of the font test press, at the same time, the LINE FEED key
and the FORM FEED key . At the end of the font test the printer begin the notch threshold
autocalibration.
• The “Power On” LED (green) indicates that the printer is on.
• The Paper Low LED (red) indicates that the paper is about to run out.
• The “Status” LED (yellow) indicates printer status; the check is made on-line. Given in the table below
are the various LED signals and the corresponding printer status.

(2)
NOTE: If the printer has a notch sensor (opt. 0103 ) this parameter can have different values.
These values derive from the results of the notch sensor autocalibration phase, which can be
made, at the user request, at the end of the font test.On the ticket is printed “notch threshold
autocalibration”, and then the printer analizes a certain number of notches. After this test it’s
possible to get 2 voltage values “Vin maximum voltage” and “Vin minimum voltage” which give
the notch threshold value to memorize.
(3)
NOTE: If the printer has an USB interface, the serial interface configuration parameters are not
displayed.
(4)
NOTE: This parameter is displayed if the printer has an USB interface; it’s used to identify
univocally the USB printer by a numerical address code, if on the PC are connected two printers
that are the same models for example two TPTCM60-U.
(5)
NOTE: This parameter is displayed if the printer has an USB interface. The Status Monitor is
an additional printing driver component that allows the printer status monitoring. It must be
enabled only if it was installed the Status Monitor specific driver.

Settings remain active even after the printer has been turned off.
The settings made are stored in EEPROM (nonvolative memory).
During power-up, if both the LINE FEED and FORM FEED keys are held down, the printer enters configuration
mode and prints-out the setup report; it will remain in standby until a key is pressed or characters are received
through the communication port (see Hexadecimal dump).
When the LINE FEED key is pressed, the printer skips the setup mode and terminates the Hexadecimal dump
function.
When the FORM FEED key is pressed, the printer enters the parameter entry mode.

ATTENTION
Before inserting the paper , make sure
it is cut cleanly.
1.5.2 Ticket specifications
If the printer has the notch sensor (opt. 0103) paper with alignment notches may be used so that tickets of a
fixed length or with pre-printed areas may be utilized. The notch must be positioned on the non-thermal ticket
side. If required, the printer can do the notch sensor autocalibration so the sensor can adjust to different kind of
paper and always identify the black notch. On fig. 1.6 and 1.7 there are notch position and dimensions on the
60 mm and 112 mm wid th thermal paper .

In this mode, the bytes received are input in the line buffer at the current position of the
cursor and in a different order from that of the previous command. Let’s imagine that a
print line consists of an array of 24 rows containing G56 / H104 bytes each: the
characters received after this command will be input starting from the top line and
proceeding towards the bottom line. Af ter 24 characters, the pointer increases and
proceeds to the next position. At the G56
continues on the next line. Thanks to this procedure, text and graphics can be
combined. In fact, if, for example, there were any characters present in the print buffer ,
the bytes subsequent to this command would be input in the position immediately after .
Figure 1 shows a line buffer: each box corresponds to 8 dots, which on paper correspond
to 1 mm, both horizontally and vertically . To fill the memory completely , G1344 / H2496
bytes are required. For example, to print a filled bar G448 / H832 dots long and 24 dots
high, send the following command:
G$1B + $2B + $05 + $40 + (1344* $FF)
H$1B + $2B + $09 + $C0 + (2496* $FF)

[Notes] • The printer can print any character in italic mode.
• When italic mode is turned off by setting the value of n to 0 or 48, the data which
follows is printed in normal mode.
• Italic mode can also be turned on or off using $1B $21. Note, however , that the last
received command is the effective one.
[Default] n = 0

nD3$B1$
[Name] Enables / Disables Form Feed key
[Format] ASCII ESC = n
Hex 1B 3D n
Decimal 27 61 n
[Description] This command is used to control the Form Feed key . Normally, when this key is
pressed, the paper forward feeds until a reference mark is detected or until the steps set
by the $1B $5C command have been completed. When the key is released, a character
$0C is transmitted. In this way a controller can check the output of receipts with progres-
sive number etc. directly .
n = 0 Disables transmission - Enables the Form Feed key
n > 0 Enables transmission when the Form Feed key is pressed.

When the starting position is specified by n motion units to the left (negative direction),
use the complement of 65536:
nL + nH × 256 = 65536 – n
• If setting exceeds the printing area width, the left or right margin is set to the default

[Description] Sets the serial counter value in the print buffer and increments or decrements the counter
value.
[Notes] • After setting the current counter value in the print buffer as print data (a character
string), the printer counts up or down based on the count mode set. The counter value in
the print buffer is printed when the printer receives a print command or the buffer is full.
• The counter print mode is set using GS C 0.
• The counter mode is set using GS C 1 or GS C ;.
• In count-up mode, if the counter value set by this command goes out of the counter
operation range set by GS C 1 or GS C ; it is forced to revert to the minimum value.
• In count-down mode, if the counter value set by this command goes out of the counter
operation range set by GS C 1 or GS C ; it is forced to revert to the maximum value.

[Notes] • m must be sent with n = 3, 7;
• l must be sent with n = 7;
• if n=3 and ticket is not cut yet, before execute the command
a total cutting will be make.
• if n=0 the fixed value of ticket presenting is :
- on power on and after a reset command ( both hardware and software) 47mm
- the last distance saved to a $1D $65 3 or $1D $65 8 commands.
- Ticket presenting lenght can change of +/- 12 mm.
• The minimum ticket presenting lenght is 89 mm (below tihs value the ticket espulsion
could have some problems).

[Notes] • The right character spacing for double-width mode is twice the normal value.
When the characters are enlarged, the right side character spacing is m (2 or 4) times
the normal value.
• The horizontal and vertical motion units are specified by $1D $50. Changing the
horizontal or vertical motion units does not affect the current right side spacing.
• The $1D $50 command can change the horizontal (and vertical) motion unit. However,
the value cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount.
• In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit is used.
• The maximum right side spacing is 255/200 inches.

aligned at the baseline or topline (see $1D $7E).
• This command resets the left and right margin at default value (see $1D $4C, $1D $57).
• $1B $45 can also be used to turn the emphasized mode on/off. However , the lastreceived setting command is the effective one.
• $1B $2D can also be used to turn the underlining mode on/off. However, the last-

[Notes] • The nL and nH commands indicate the number of dots of the bit image in the horizontal
direction. The number of dots is calculated using: nL + nH × 256.
• If the bit image data input exceeds the number of dots to be printed on a line, the
excess data is ignored.
• d indicates the bit image data. Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot, or to 0 to not
print the dot.
• If the value of m is outside the specified range, nL and data following it are processed
as normal data.
• If the width of the printing area set by $1D $4C and $1D $57 is less than the width
required by the data set using $1B $2A , the excess data are ignored.
• To print the bit image use $0A, $0D, $1B $4A or $1B $64.
• Af ter printing a bit image, the printer returns to normal data processing mode.
• This command is not affected by the emphasized, double-strike, underline (etc.) print
modes, except for the upside-down mode.

[Description] Sets horizontal tab positions
• n specifies the column number for setting a horizontal tab position calculated from the
beginning of the line.
• k indicates the total number of horizontal tab positions to be set.
[Notes] • The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width x n] measured from
the beginning of the line. The character width includes the right-side character spacing
and double-width characters are set with twice the width of normal characters.
• This command cancels previous tab settings.
• When setting n = 8, the print position is moved to column 9, by sending $09.
• Up to 32 tab positions ( k = 32) can be set. Data exceeding 32 tab positions is processed as normal data.
• Send [ n ] k in ascending order and place a 0 NUL code at the end. When [ n ] k is less
than or equal to the preceding value [ n ] k-1, the setting is complete and the data which
follows is processed as normal data.
• This command cancels all horizontal tab positions.
• The previously specified horizontal tab position does not change, even if the character
width is modified.
[Default] Default tab positions are set at intervals of 8 characters (columns 9, 17, 25, …) for Font A

[Notes] • If d is outside of the specified range, the printer prints the following message: “BAR
CODE GENERAT OR IS NOT OK!” and processes the data which follows as normal
data.
• If the horizontal size exceeds the printing area, the printer only feeds the paper .
• This command feeds as much paper as is required to print the bar code, regardless
of the line spacing specified by $1B $32 or $1B $33.
• Af ter printing the bar code, this command sets the print position to the beginning of
the line.
• This command is not affected by print modes (emphasized, double-strike, underline
or character size), except for upside-down and justification mode.
[Notes per ] • This command ends with a $00 code.
• When the bar code system used is UPC-A or UPC-E, the printer prints the bar code
data after receiving 1 1 (without check digit) or 12 (with check digit) bytes bar code
data.
• When the bar code system used is EAN13, the printer prints the bar code data after
receiving 12 (without check digit) or 13 (with check digit) bytes bar code data.
• When the bar code system used is EAN8, the printer prints the bar code data after
receiving 7 (without check digit) or 8 (with check digit) bytes bar code data.
• The number of data for ITF bar code must be even numbers. When an odd number
of data is input, the printer ignores the last received data.
[Notes per ] • If n is outside of the specified range, the printer stops command processing and
processes the following data as normal data.
When CODE93
is used: • The printer prints an HRI character ( o ) as a start character at the beginning of the
HRI character string.
• The printer prints an HRI character ( o ) as a stop character at the end of the HRI
character string.
• The printer prints an HRI character ( n ) as a control character ( $00 to $1F and
$7F).
When CODE128
is used: • When using CODE128 in this printer, please note the following regarding data
transmission:
• The top part of the bar code data string must be a code set selection character
(CODE A, CODE B or CODE C) which select s the first code set.
• Special characters are defined by combining two characters “{“ and one character .
ASCII character “{” is defined by transmitting “{“ twice, consecutively .
