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.
It has a 203 dpi thermal print mechanism that utilizes 57.5mm-wide paper rolls and can print up to 24 o 40
charaters per line.

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).
2

• 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
(5)(6)
used
.
(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 CONFIGURA TION
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 VOL T parameter that indicates the battery charge level, i.e., the print head battery voltage.
The printer’s configurable parameters are:
• Interface: RS232D, Infrared
• Baud Rate: 38400, 19200, 9600D, 4800, 2400, 1200, 600.

1. INSTALLATION AND USE
(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 present 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 p arameter 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
Printer operating status is indicated in the configuration print-out in which, next to the name of the components
displayed (see figure 1.10), the following information is given:
• under TEST the message OK appears if the BlueTooth communication and module are functioning
and NOT OK if faulty .
• under NAME is given the name that identify the printer from a BlueT ooth wireless remote device.
• under PIN is given the passcode used to connect to the printer if some Bluetooth wireless devices
request it.
• under ADDR is given the BlueTooth device local address; this is a fixed number assigned by the
manufacturer.
• under HEAD TEMPERA TURE is given the temperature of the head.
• under BA TTER Y TEMPERA TURE is given the temperature of the battery.
• under HEAD VOL T AGE is given the battery charge level, i.e., the print head battery voltage.

(15)
NOTE: The Name ID is used 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 immediately printer name, but only at
the beginning of new connection. This happened because most of remote devices create a relation
table between Bluetooth device 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 BlueTooth) is update only sometimes, for the most part it happened at the
beginning of new connection.
(16)
NOTE: The authentication is used to enable the password entry, from the host at every connection,
for printing. If someone is enabled to use the printer (and consequently to know the link key), can
execute an operation of “pairing”. When the printer is “paired” with the host, it’s possible to access to
printing service without re-enter the password.
(17)
NOTE: The Object Push Profile provides facilities for exchanging business card between client and
server, for pulling business card from a server, and for pushing a limited range of objects onto a server;
for example, a virtual business card wich fit the vCard object format.
(18)
NOTE: This parameter is present only if RS232 interface is set.
The “ Name”, “ PIN”, “ Name ID” and the “Authentication” values become actives only turning off and
then turning on the printer; reset commands or reset after set up don’t get actives those setting.
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:

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).

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 115.2 kbps (a 3/16th optical pulse time of bit time).
Infrared port
(Fig.2.4)
To utilize the infrared bidirectional serial interface, it must first be enabled under setup (parameter: “Interface:
Infrared”).

2. INTERFACES
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:
setyB2setyBnetyB2
dnammoCtratSsdnammoC/ataDdnammoCpotS
START 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.
DATA/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/xoff).
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:
To use this protocol to print the text “CUSTOM” in double height and width, send the following data 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:
etyB1etyB1htgneLsetyBetyB1etyB1
XTSHTGNELATADBOJDISKC
STX [1byte] = $02 Start Transmission ID
LENGHT [1byte] = number of bytes in the transmitted data field. The maximum number of bytes to be
transmitted must be <=48.
42-DPT100-B/I/BT
Page 27
2. INTERFACES
DATA [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, DATI, 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:
etyB1etyB1etyB1
XTSEPYTSTS
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
tiBnO/ffOxeHlamiceDnoitcnuF
01,ffO000 tneserprepap,esolcrevoC
nO03 3 gnikrowtonrosnesrepaproneporevoC

nO0446rorreegatlovyrettaB
7- - - ]devreseR[
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 voltage), 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.

To use this protocol to print the text “CUSTOM” in double height and width, send the following data to the
printer :

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 packets
or “frames” of data to emulate data that would normally be free to stream back and forth.
(Fig.2.7)
X BOFs BOF A C
FCS
I
EOF
(1+N) of C0h
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
Payload
2 bytes
C1h
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 compatible 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.
82-DPT100-B/I/BT
Page 31
2. INTERFACES
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.

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 differences between 3-Wire 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
92-
DPT100-B/I/BT
Page 32
2. INTERFACES
• 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

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.T o 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:

Applicable only for the label printer version (s’ print-LP1 model) :
Using a paper roll with the characteristics as shown in fig. A.1, pressing the multifunction key to align
automatically the ticket at first printed line (see fig. A.2).
Otherwise using a different model of paper roll this additional functionality of the key is not available; to align the
ticket it’s necessary using a $1D $F6 command.

APPENDIX A - ACCESSORIES AND SPARE PARTS
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.
