This User Guide covers how to use the CUPS system on a Linux machine to install and maintain a DTC1500
Linux printer driver Rev. B (v1.3.6.4). It describes the installation of the Linux driver, how to add and
maintain the printer, manage the printer, and configure the available job options.

FARGO® DTC®1500 Linux

User Guide

1.1 Supported CUPS versions

Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) is a modular printing system for Unix-like computer operating
systems. CUPS allows a computer to act as a print server. A computer running CUPS as a host that can
accept print jobs from client computers, process these jobs, and send them to the appropriate printer.

The minimum required CUPS version for this driver is 1.7.2. If a previous version of the CUPS interface is
being used, contact HID Global Technical Support at https://www.hidglobal.com/support.

The operating systems able to use CUPS include 64-bit Linux versions:

n Ubuntu 16.04

n Ubuntu 18.04

1.2 Firmware requirements

Printer firmware 1.0.4.10 is required to use CUPS with a DTC1500 connected by USB. To verify the firmware
version, press and hold the Pause button on the DTC1500 for four seconds to print a printer settings card.

1.2.1 Linux with USB connection

For each Linux host machine, only one USB connection to a printer is supported.

The installation begins. As the installation progresses, messages are displayed on the screen. When the
installation has completed, you are prompted to reboot your system.

FARGO® DTC®1500 Linux

User Guide

2.4 Upgrade the CUPS driver from an older version

Follow the installation instructions in "Installation and maintenance " on page7 to download the driver file.
Then, see "CUPS Linux driver manual installation" on the previous page or "CUPS Linux driver automatic
installation" on the previous page to overwrite the existing driver with the new driver.

Note: Depending upon the desired configuration options, you may have to delete and reinstall the printer

using the new PPD file. Additional modification of the default print job configuration options may
be necessary.

2.5 Remove a driver

There is not an uninstall process to remove a driver. Therefore, the driver files must be deleted manually.
The following table shows the locations and names of the files that are installed on the Linux system for
the driver.

To remove a driver, locate these files and delete them from your Linux system.

4. Wait for the printer to complete the upgrade procedure.

Note: The .frm file is not located in the driver package.

2.7 Determine the printer IP address

The printer IP address must be determined prior to adding a network connected printer. The printer IP
address may be determined using the following procedure:

1. Power on the printer.

2. Ensure that the printer is connected to the network using the RJ45 connector on the back of the
printer.

3. Wait for the printer to obtain an IP address from DHCP. This may take up to a minute.

4. Press and hold Pause for at least four seconds to print a settings card.

Note: The printer must be ready and idle for the settings card to print.

2.8 Add a printer connection using a USB cable

1. Connect the USB cable to the printer.

2. Power on the printer.

3. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:631/.

3.5 View printer specific options from the command line

Each printer has its own set of supported options that are detailed in the driver PPD file. However, you
cannot access this file directly. The lpoptions command provides a list of the available options
supported by the printer. At a command line, enter:

lpoptions -p [printer] -l

where [printer] is the current printer name.

Each of the available options is displayed on a new line. Each option listing

n Starts with the option name followed by a slash

n Continues with the text description for that option

n Finishes with a colon

Following the colon is a list of all selection values that are supported for that option. An asterisk (*) in front
of a selection value indicates that this is the default selection for that option.

For a listing of available printer names, enter the following command:

lpstat -p

3.6 Set printer-specific options from the command line

For many print jobs, the default printer options are sufficient. However, at times you may need to change
the options for a particular file you are printing.

The lp and lpr commands allow you to pass printer options using the –o option prefix:

lp -d [printer] -o landscape -o scaling=75 -o media=A4 [filename]

or

lpr -P [printer] -o landscape -o scaling=75 -o media=A4 [filename]

3.7 Printing from the command line

CUPS provides both System V (lp) and Berkeley (lpr) printing commands. To print a file to the current
default printer, use this basic print command:

lpr -P [printer] [filename]

or

lp -d [printer] [filename]

3.8 Printing with magnetic stripe encoding

To print with magnetic stripe encoding use the following command format:

lp -d [printer] -o “MagTrack1=%25MAGTEST1%3F MagTrack2=%3B1234567890%3F MagTrack3=%3B1234567890%3F”

4.9 Magnetic stripe encode data

Magnetic stripe encode data must be passed to the CUPS driver using the command line. The following
command line options have been defined for this purpose:

n Magtrack1

n Magtrack2

n Magtrack3

Each option is set equal to the string of data to be encoded for that track. The string of encode data must
be passed to the CUPS driver in URL character encoding mode. See "URL character encoding mode"
below.

A command line option flag (-o) must precede the first track of magnetic stripe encode data passed on
the command line. The second and third tracks, however, may be specified following the first track without
including additional command line option flags.

Command line example:

lp -d <Printer_Queue_Name> -o "Magtrack1=%25MAGTEST1%3F Magtrack2=%3B1234567890%3F
Magtrack3=%3B1234567890%3F" <Filename>

4.9.1 Magnetic stripe encoding - format details

The following sections describe the URL character encoding mode and details the currently supported
magnetic stripe encoding modes:

n ISO Mode

n JIS II Mode

n Custom Mode

n Raw Mode

4.9.2 URL character encoding mode

The CUPS driver uses URL encoding mode when defining data to be encoded to each of the magnetic
stripes. To be recognized, all characters passed to the driver, including any special characters (such as
start and end sentinels), must be described with a URL Encoding Mode.

In URL encoding mode all ASCII characters, except for the reserved character set defined here, are
represented by their normal ASCII character codes. Each character in the reserved character set must be
represented by a 3-character sequence: a percent character (%) followed by a 2-character representation of
the hex equivalent of the ASCII character code.

4.9.3 ISO magnetic encoding mode

The ISO magnetic encoding mode comprises three components:

n Start Sentinel

n Track Character Data

n End Sentinel

The first character of each track data string must be the track specific start sentinel (SS), and the last
character must be the track specific end sentinel (ES).

The data characters in between the SS and ES must be limited to the track specific range of valid character
codes.

The total number of characters for each track must be limited to the track specific maximum character
count.

When segmenting track data, the track specific field separator (FS) must be used.

The following table details the required start sentinel, end sentinel, field separator, valid character code
range, and the maximum character count for each of the three magnetic tracks.

4.9.4 JIS II magnetic encoding mode

The JIS II magnetic encoding mode allows you to specify string data to be encoded on the magnetic stripe
using the JIS II encoding format. JIS normally is only for Track 2. Track 1 and 3 are not standard JIS, but is
supported. JIS II does not expect a beginning and ending sentinel for the encoding character string.

4.9.5 Custom magnetic encoding mode

The custom magnetic encoding mode allows you to independently specify each of the various encoding
parameters for each magnetic track. Individual characters are encoded on each magnetic track using the
set of parameters. For custom encoding more flexibility than for JIS II or ISO is provided.

4.9.6 Raw magnetic encoding mode

The raw magnetic encoding mode allows you to specify raw binary string data to be encoded on the
magnetic stripe. A specific format of the input data is not assumed and all encoding parameters for each
magnetic track are ignored, except for the track bit density. Using RAW format requires the binary data to
be specified more completely than for other formats. Such options as parity, LRC, shift left data are not
supported. The bit density can be any value between 75 and 210; however, a value not selectable from the
UI can only be specified by a command line option.
