B. PRODUCT BRIEFING
The PP4000 series printer uses thermal sensitive paper in
form of a roll at a width of 80 mm. The PP4000 printer serves the
stand-alone POS application as well as the application within a
PST system equally perfect.
The PP4000 series can support different interface input
through different sub-codes to the model number. The interfaces
include RS232 for serial interface and Centronics for parallel
interface. PP4000 printer of different model number sub-codes
utilizes different connector, accessory cable and part of internal
circuitry to accommodate the requirement of different interface.
As a variation from the RS232 for serial interface, RS422 serial
interface is also available.
In addition to the capability of supporting international
character sets, there are also some models in PP4000 series that
supports the oriental characters as indicated in the following
paragraph about model numbers.
The PP4000 supports an auto cutter. The PP4000 also
supports application in different countries of various kinds of
power systems by changing the power adaptor and/or the power
cord to the power adaptor. The PP4000 further supports some
built-in bar code printing commands for UPC-A, EAN8, EAN13,
CODE 39, ITF and CODABAR.

G. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
• Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.
• Choose a place that is well ventilated and free of
excessive dust, smoke or fume.
• Do not put the printer in direct sunlight or near a heater.
• Ideal room temperature is from 5ºC to 40ºC. Ideal
humidity is from 20% to 85% RH (no condensation).
• Since the paper roll is very thermal sensitive, please
keep them in a dark place that is 20º and 65% RH when
not installed in the printer.
• Use a grounded AC power outlet.
• Use only the power cord and power adaptor furnished
with the printer.
• Do not use a power outlet of a circuit shared with any
equipment that causes great electrical noise, such as
motors.
• Do not use a power outlet of a circuit shared with any
equipment that uses a lot of power, such as a copier or a
coffee maker.
• Do not touch any connector contacts to avoid possible
electrostatic damage.
1 - 7
H. USEFUL TIPS
• Do not pull the paper in the direction opposite to the
paper feeding direction with the print head closed.
• Do not touch the areas around the print head and motor
during or right after printing. It can be very hot.
• Do not use thermal paper containing Sodium (Na+),
Potassium (K+) and Chlorine (Cl-) ions that can harm
the print head thermal elements.
• Use only water paste, starch paste, polyvinyl paste or
CMC paste when gluing thermal paper.
• Use of volatile organic solvents such as alcohol, ester
and ketone on thermal paper can cause discoloration.
• Some adhesive tapes on thermal paper may cause
discoloration or faded printing.
• Use only products made from polyethylene,
polypropylene or polyester for storage of thermal paper.
If thermal paper touches anything includes phthalic acid
ester plasticizer for a long time, the image formation
ability may be reduced or the printed image may fade.
• If thermal paper touches diazzo copy paper immediately
after copying, the printed surface may be discolored.
• Thermal paper must not be stored with the printed
surfaces against each other as the printing may be
transferred between the surfaces.
• If the surface of thermal paper is scratched with a hard
metal object such as a nail, the paper may become
discolored.
1 - 8
• Store thermal paper away from high temperature and
humidity. Avoid extended exposure to direct light.
• Do not set any liquid or drinks such as coffee on the
printer case

II. QUICK START-UP
A. LOADING PAPER
Paper roll compartment
Thermal print engine
Open top cover by gently pressing the rear part of cover
inward and lift it up. Take the cover away to expose the paper roll
compartment and the thermal print engine.
Head-up lever
Put the paper roll into the paper roll compartment in the
direction shown as above. Push down the head-up lever on
2 - 1
Rear insert slotNote direction of paper roll
thermal print engine and try to aim the front end of the paper roll
Tear paper off
toward the rear insert slot.
Paper feed knob
When the front end is inserted into the rear insert slot, close
up the head-up lever and turn the paper feed knob to roll the paper
forward. If the paper is not inserted in proper position, you may
push down the head-up lever and adjust the position of paper and
close up the head-up lever again.
1. Auto paper feed
This printer automatically feeds paper forward about 4 mm
every time it is powered up or every time the head-up lever is
closed up during power on. Therefore, you may tear the front end
of paper roll off against the auto cutter assembly. You may then
put on the top cover back and have the new front end of paper
come out to the paper exit slot automatically when the printer is
powered on.
2 - 2
Front end of paper Front end of paper
2. Manual paper feed
You may also extend the front end of paper out of the paper
exit slot of the top cover and put top cover back to the printer case.
Tear the paper off or cut the paper by software command later.
3. When to replace paper
Whenever the printer gives paper near end signal or a red
line appears on the thermal paper, it is the proper timing for
replacing the paper. Do not wait till the print engine is dragging
the paper roll at the very end. Remove the leftover and replace a
new paper roll as illustrated above to prevent excessive paper dust
in the printer and consequently possibility for paper jam.

B. CONNECTING CABLES
1. SERIAL CONNECTION
This cable comes from any
COM port of host computer
All the external connectors are in the recessed area at the
rear bottom. The serial connector is a 9 pin D sub Female
connector at the left. Apply this cable only for serial application
of the serial model. The protocol used in serial connection is
always 19200 bps, none parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.
All connectors are at the
bottom rear
2 - 4
2. PARALLEL CONNECTION
This cable
connects to
LPT port
of the host
computer
The parallel connector is a 25 pin D sub Male connector at
the rightmost location in the connector area. Apply this cable only
for parallel model.
3. PERIPHERAL CONNECTION
This cable
goes to cash
drawer.
The peripheral controller is a RJ11 jack near the serial
connector. With use of Posiflex special split cable (CCBLA-238
as an option) for cash drawer control, this port can control two
cash drawers.
2 - 5
4. POWER CONNECTION
Pull back the
outer sleeve first
The power connector is a 3 pin jack between the peripheral
connector and the parallel connector. During insertion, be sure to
hear the click to obtain a firm contact.
CAUTION: Before doing the insertion or extraction of the
power plug, be sure to pull the outer sleeve of the
plug backward to release the internal latch.
Failure to do this could damage the power plug.
Such damage is considered as an artificial
destruction and is not covered by the warranty.
5. POWER ON
When all the above cable connections are made correctly,
you may connect your power adaptor to the wall outlet. Make
sure that the type of power cord and the voltage requirement of
the power adaptor meet the local power conditions. Now the
printer is ready for power on.

6. SELF TEST
On / off switch
Press and hold down the paper feed button while turning the
on / off switch on. The printer will then perform a self test. A slip
of self test result is printed below. Please note that the content of
such print is always the same no matter what interface or
communication protocol is used.
Please note that there could be some mild vibration of the
printer due to intermittent pulling on the paper roll by the motor.
This vibration would be lighter with thinner paper roll and higher
printing speed and heavier with thicker paper roll and lower
printing speed.

III. MAINTENANCE AND INTERNAL
PARTS
A. MAINTENANCE GUIDE LINES
• Always turn off and disconnect power before opening
the cover.
• The areas around the print head and motor become very
hot during and just after printing, do not touch them.
• When handling the interior of the thermal printer, please
pay attention not to be hurt by any sharp edge of the
metal parts.
B. INTERNAL PARTS
When the top cover of the thermal printer is removed, in
paper roll compartment we can find a paper roll supporting roller
and a paper near end sensor, in front of the print engine there is an
auto cutter assembly.

Guide slot of print head
Gently move the print head along its guide slot out (do not
damage the cabling to it and never do this when print head is
still hot), you can clean the thermal elements of the print head
using a cotton swab moistened with alcohol solvent (ethanol,
methanol, IPA)
NOTE: Do not touch the print head thermal elements
Do not scratch the print head
Before re-assuming the print head position, alcohol solvent
should be dried completely.
