A
The DPP-350 uses a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery pack. Before
first use, the DPP-350 battery pack should be charged for at least 4
hours.
To prevent electrical damage to the DPP-350 and/or battery pack,
please use approved AC Charger only.

Power On Self-test
The DPP350’s LF switch/button is used for entering various printer
modes. These modes can be used to assist developers in
debugging problems related to programming and communication.
The following explain how to access the various operating modes.
Step #1: Make sure the printer is OFF (On-line LED is OFF) before
performing step #2.
Step #2: Press and hold the line feed button (LF). While pressing
the (LF) button, press the (ON) button momentarily and
release when the LED turns green. Release LF button
after the printer Beep once. Shortly after the LF button is
released the printer will print the internal test pattern on
the right.

The DPP-350 has a built-in test pattern that shows the printer’s
current configuration as well as the various resident printer fonts.
The self-test can also be used as a troubleshooting tool to
determine printing problems or battery level. The steps below
show how the self-test is printed activated.

Dip Switch Settings
The DPP-350 is designed to use different methods of
communications. Care must be taken to ensure that the DIP
Switches are not changed from its default factory configuration
unless required.
♦ DIP SWITCH SETTINGS:
The printer has two absolutely different operation modes.
They are determined by the state of switch Sw2:
These two modes have absolutely different list of commands that
are both described below. As the different operation modes use
one and the same memory, the switching from one mode to
another can cause lost of data and settings of the active mode as
follows:
Switch OFF ON
• OFF ESC/POS mode
• ON Hex Dump mode
• Switching to Hex Dump mode deletes loadable fonts and
logo of ESC/POS mode.
•Switching to ESC/POS mode deletes all forms, graphics
and fonts that were loaded in Hex Dump mode.

Notes:
When saving pairing information, the printer remembers Bluetooth
information of the last device connected (paired) to the printer.
Saving pairing info prevents the printer from asking for passkey
upon initialization. The process for using this option is described
below.
"To speed this programming process, you may bypass the memory
switch settings by indicating "NO" via pressing of the <ON/OFF>
button when the printer prints "CHANGE MEMORY SWITCHES" as
shown on page 17. This will advance you to the next level of
setting where pairing can be found".
Saving Pairing Info:
1. Following instruction on page-17, change the Pairing Info
option to [Save = Yes].
2. Turn the printer on and pair the printer to your Bluetooth
device.
3. The printer will now remember the pairing information and

Magnetic Card Reader (MS V ersion only)
The DPP-350 has a built-in magnetic card reader. The card reader
incorporates a (3)-track magnetic read head requiring a single
swipe to read field data from all three tracks.
Magnetic Strip
( Face this direction )
The reader’s magnetic head faces towards the front of the printer.
When placing the card into the reader, the magnetic strip must be
facing as show in the figure above. Keep the bottom edge of the
card flat on the inner base of the reader to ensure that the
magnetic strip passes over the read head evenly.
When swiping the card through the reader, use an even consistent
motion from start to finish.
The speed of swiping can vary however the speed must be
consistent from start to finish of the swipe in order to accurately
read card data.
User Notes:
To use the magnetic card reader feature, special software must be
used to read and process the card information. If you do not have
card reading software, please consult your reseller to find out if
this software is available or contact Infinite Peripherals for
