PRINTER FEATURES

SYMBOL LEGEND: The symbol @ indicates the TPTCM60x The symbol A indicates the TPTCM112x

The TPTCM printer series is comprised of printers designed to emit highresolution 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 paper 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: @ 140mm/sec,A 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.

• Double width/height, quadruple width/height, expanded, italic, rotated

90°, 180° and 270°.

• Receive buffer: 16Kbytes.

• Definition of function macros for automatic operation repetition.

• Internal programmable counter.

• Graphic print mode.

• Print density.

PRINTER DESCRIPTION

The TPTCM printers (fig.1) are comprised of a metal frame (1), paper roll holder (2), printing mechanism (3) and cutter (4). The following keys are located on the control panel: FORM FEED (5), LINE FEED (6), “Power On” LED (7), Paper Low LED (8) and “Status” LED (9).

(Fig.1)

• 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 the FORM FEED (5) key is enabled, when it is pressed the printer advances the paper the number of increments programmed in the Eeprom.

TPTCM

Page 14

INTRODUCTION

f the FORM FEED key is not enabled and the printer is in Custom Emulation mode, when the key is pressed, the code 12 (HEX 0C) is transmitted on the RS232 serial line. This function may be modified by the ESC = 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

• 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.

1. INSTALLATION AND USE

General notes:

The parameters marked with the symbol D are the default values.

The symbol @ indicates the TPTCM60x

The symbol A indicates the TPTCM112x

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.

1.4 HEXADECIMAL DUMP

This function is used to diagnose the characters received through the communication port; the characters are printed out both as hexadecimal codes and ASCII codes. Once the self-test routine has finished, the printer enters Hexadecimal Dump mode. The printer remains in standby until a key is pressed or characters are received through the communication port. For every 10 characters received, the hexadecimal and corresponding ASCII codes are printed out (if the characters are underlined, the receive buffer is full).

Shown below is an example of a Hexadecimal Dump:

1.5 MAINTENANCE

1.5.1 Changing the paper roll

Depending on how the printer “Paper Autoload” parameter is set, one of two procedures must be followed:

If enabled: Position the paper roll (1), so that it unrolls correctly as shown in fig. 1.4; insert the paper into the infeed slot (3) and wait for the roll to load automatically.

If not enabled, proceed as follows:

1) Position the paper roll (1), so that it unrolls correctly as shown in fig. 1.4;

2) Raise the print head by lifting the lever (2) in the direction indicated by the arrow;

(Fig.1.4)

3) Insert the end of the paper roll into the infeed slot (3) and have it pass beyond the print head;

4) Lower the head lever (3) and press the LINE FEED key (4), so that the paper will feed a few centimeters out of the printer.

After 24 characters, the pointer increases and proceeds to the next position. At the the line is printed and filling 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.

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

ESC + ‘Z’ command have been completed. When the key is

released, a character FF (0Ch) is transmitted. In this way a

controller can check the output of receipts with progressive

number etc. directly.

n = 0 Disables transmission - Enables the Form Feed key

n > 0 Enables transmission when the Form Feed key is

pressed. [Notes]

Decimal 2 7 3 2 n [Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255 [Description] Sets the character spacing for the right side of the character

to [n x horizontal or vertical motion units]. [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 GS

P. Changing the horizontal or vertical motion units does not

affect the current right side spacing.

• The GS P command can change the horizontal (and verti-

cal) 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. [Default] n = 0 [Reference] GS P [Example]

[Notes] • The printer can underline all characters, but cannot under-

line the spaces set by HT, ESC $, ESC \ and 90° rotated characters.

• When characters are enlarged to different heights on one line, the characters are aligned at the baseline or topline (see GS ~).

• This command resets the left and right margin at default value (see GS L, GS W).

• ESC E can also be used to turn the emphasized mode on/ off. However, the last-received setting command is the effective one.

• ESC - can also be used to turn the underlining mode on/off. However, the last-received setting command is the effective one.

• ESC 4 can also be used to turn the italic mode on/off. However, the last-received setting command is the effective one.

• GS ! can also be used to select character height/width. However, the last-received setting command is the effective

one. [Default] n = 0 [Reference] ESC -, ESC E, ESC 4, GS !

[Description] Sets the distance from the beginning of the line to the posi-

tion at which subsequent characters are to be printed. The distance from the beginning of the line to the print posi-

tion is [(nL + nH × 256) × (vertical or horizontal motion unit)] inches.

[Notes] • Settings outside the specified printable area are ignored.

• The horizontal and vertical motion unit are specified by GS P .

• GS P 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 (x) is used.

• If the setting is outside the printing area width, it sets the absolute print position, but the left or right margin is set at

default value. [Default] [Reference] ESC \, GS P [Example]

X specifies the number of dots in the horizontal direction. [Notes] • The allowable character code range is from ASCII 20H (32)

to 7EH (126) (95 characters).

• It is possible to define multiple characters for consecutive

character codes. If only one character is desired, use c1 =

c2.

• If c2 < c1, the command is not executed.

• d is the dot data for the characters. The dot pattern is in the

horizontal direction starting from the left. Any remaining dots

on the right remain blank.

• The data to define a user-defined character is ( x

x y) bytes.

• To print a dot, set the corresponding bit to 1; to not have it

print, set to 0.

• This command can define different user-defined character

[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 GS L and GS W is less than the width required by the data set using ESC * , the excess data are ignored.

• To print the bit image use LF, CR, ESC J or ESC d.

• After printing a bit image, the printer returns to normal data processing mode.

• This command is not affected by the emphasized, doublestrike, underline (etc.) print modes, except for the upsidedown mode.

• The relationship between the image data and the dots to be printed is as follows:
