Before turning on the printer, be sure to check that the AC adapter is connected to the

power supply.

CAUTION

Before turning the printer off, it is recommended to send a power-off command to the printer. If you use the power-off sequence, the latest maintenance counter values are saved. (Maintenance counter values are usually saved every two minutes.)

For detailed information about ESC/POS commands, see the ESC/POS Command Reference.

Power Switch Cover

Install the power switch cover that comes with the TM-T70II onto the printer to prevent inadvertent changing of the power switch, to prevent tampering, and to improve the appearance of the printer.

To reset the printer when the power switch cover is installed, insert a long, thin object (such as the end of a paper clip) into the hole in the power switch cover and press the power switch.

If an accident occurs with the power switch cover attached, unplug the power cord

immediately.

WARNING Continued use may cause fire or shock.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

NV Memory (Non-Volatile Memory)

The printer's NV memory stores data even after the printer power is turned off. NV memory contains the following memory areas for the user:

NV graphics memory

User NV memory

Memory switches

R/E (Receipt Enhancement)

User-defined page

• Maintenance counter

1

 

 

 

As a guide, NV memory rewriting should be 10 times or less a day when you program

applications.

CAUTION

NV Graphics Memory

Graphics, such as shop logos to be printed on receipts, can be stored. Even with a serial interface model whose communication speed is low, high speed graphics printing is possible.

Use the TM-T70II Utility to register graphics. You can also use the TM-T70II Utility or the NV graphics information print mode to confirm the registered graphics.

For detailed information about the TM-T70II Utility, see the TM-T70II Utility User’s Manual.

For information about how to use the NV graphics information print mode, see "NV Graphics Information Print Mode" on page 50.

User NV Memory

You can store and read text data for multiple purposes, such as for storing a note including customizing or maintenance information of the printer. Use ESC/POS commands to store and read the text data.

For information about ESC/POS commands, see the ESC/POS Command Reference.

Memory Switches

With the memory switches, which are software switches for the printer, you can configure various settings of the printer. For information about the memory switches, see "Setting the Memory Switches/Receipt Enhancement" on page 32.

19

R/E (Receipt Enhancement)

Graphics, such as shop logos to be printed on top or bottom of receipts can be registered.

For information about R/E, see "Setting the Memory Switches/Receipt Enhancement" on page 32.

User-defined Page

You can store character data in the user-defined page (character code table: page 255) so that you can also print characters not resident in the printer.

For the character code table, see "Character Code Tables" on page 101.

User-defined page is not supported by South Asia font models.

Maintenance Counter

With this function, printer information, such as the number of lines printed, the number of autocuts, and printer operation time after the printer starts working, is automatically stored in NV memory. You can read the information with the Status API of the APD or OPOS ADK to use it for periodical checks or part replacement.

Maintenance Counter can be checked with the TM-T70II Utility or in a self-test.

Installing the Printer

You can install this printer only horizontally.

Fix the printer so that it does not move around when you open the roll paper cover and cut roll paper. A tape for fixing the printer is available as an option. (See "Affixing Position of DF-10" on page 23.)

As shown in the figure below, install the printer with a maximum tilt of 3°.

Installing the printer with a tilt of more than 3° may cause the following problems.

Roll paper near end cannot be detected.

The roll paper cover will not close after installing roll paper.

Roll paper cannot be taken out.

Connecting the Printer to the Host Computer

Be sure to install the printer driver before connecting the printer to the host computer.

The printer uses a modular connector specifically designed for the cash drawer. Do not connect the connector to an ordinary telephone line.

For Serial Interface

Serial interface connection diagram

When this printer is connected to a host computer by the serial interface, two connection forms are possible:

Stand alone

Y connection

The modular cable is mounted on the cash drawer.

Use the extension cable for power supply bundled with the customer display.

Stand alone

This printer is connected to the host computer via the serial port. When a customer display (DM-D) is to be connected, connect it to the host computer via the serial port or USB port.

A customer display (DM-D series) cannot be connected to the printer when the printer is connected to the host computer. To connect the customer display, connect the printer to the host computer via the serial interface or the USB interface.

Connecting the LAN interface cable

When LAN cables are installed outdoors, make sure devices without proper surge

protection are cushioned by being connected through devices that do have surge

CAUTION protection.

Otherwise, the devices can be damaged by lightning.

Never attempt to connect the customer display cable, drawer kick-out cable, or the standard telephone line cable to the LAN connector.

Connect a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX cable to the LAN connector by pressing firmly until the connector clicks

into place.
