3.4.3 Charging procedure
The printer is equipped with a lithium-ion battery pack. Although the battery pack is charged when they are shipped from the
factory, your unit may have discharged. Please recharge the pack with the appropriate AC adapter before using the printer. Turn
the printer off and plug the adapter into an AC outlet and connect the cable to the printer. The battery pack takes 3 hours to
become fully charged.
NOTES:
Make sure you turn off the power switch before charging the battery pack.
Do not charge the pack longer than 24 hours, or the batteries may deteriorate.
The printer can be used immediately after the adapter is connected.
The room temperature should be between 5 and 40
°C during charging.
With the Bluetooth or WiFi options, the true charge state of the battery can only
be determined with the printer’s power turned off.

3.5 Connecting the Interface Cable
Properly shielded serial interface cable must be used to connect your computer to the printer. Observe the following precautions
when connecting the printer to the host computer.
Power to the host must be off.
The printer power switch must be turned off.
Attach the appropriate interface cable.
Make sure all connectors are inserted correctly.
3.5.1 Serial Interface Cable: OM7212-S
1. Make sure that both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Serial printers come with an RJ-12 connector. Plug the RJ-12 end of the cable into the printer receptacle, as shown
above.
3. Connect the other end, DB9-F connector, to your computer.
4. Use OMNIPrint part number:
CBL7205-69F (DB-9 male on the host side)
3.6 Loading Paper
Use a paper roll that meets the specifications. Do not use paper rolls that are glued to the core. Make sure data is not being
transmitted to the printer while loading paper.
1. Open the printer paper c over by firmly holding the printer in one hand and
gently lift the paper cover by applying an equal force on both sides.
2. Remove the old paper roll, if any, by gently removing the spindle from the roll
holder. Do not pull the paper out of the printer. Always use the FEED button.
3. Put the spindle inside the new roll’s core and gently insert it on the printer’s roll
holder until it snaps in on both ends.
4. Align the paper so it is straight and its core is parallel to the spindle. Make sure the paper is curling up.
5. Pull the paper so that the leading edge of the paper goes at least two inches beyond the printer tear bar.
6. Close the printer paper cover and make sure its snaps in on both ends.
7. Press the FEED button to make sure the roll is properly loaded. If you notice
any wrinkles or creases on the edges of the paper try loading the paper again.
8. Tear the excess paper against the serrated edge.
NOTE: You do not have to use the spindle but it is recommended in order to: 1) Reduce tension on the paper; 2) Stop the roll
from rattling inside the cover in portable applications.
3.7 Attaching the Belt Clip

8.2 Infrared (IR) Transmission
If your OM7212 is configured with the optional IR transceiver, it is capable of communicating via an IrDA 1.1 connection. To
determine if your printer is configured with an IR transceiver, print a test label as outlined in section 6 and look for the section
labeled “IR Port”.
8.2.1 Guidelines for IR Communication
Turn the printer on.
Place the host within 1 m (39 inches) of the printer’s IR port.
Make sure the host’s transmitter/receiver is within a 15 degree angle from the center axis of the printer lens. Please
refer to the drawing below:
8.3 Bluetooth
If your OM7212 is configured with the optional Bluetooth radio, it is capable of communicating via the Bluetooth Serial Port
Profile (SPP). The Bluetooth SPP is a wireless serial port cable replacement connection. To determine if your printer is
configured with a Bluetooth radio, print a test label as outlined in section 6 and look for the section labeled “Bluetooth”.
8.3.1 Bluetooth Device Address (BD Address)
Each printer configured with the Bluetooth options, contains a unique address used to establish a Bluetooth c onnection. The BD
Address for each printer is printed on the test label under the Bluetooth section. Follow the instructions in section 6 to print a test
label.
8.3.2 Bluetooth Device Name (BD Name)
The Printers are configured with a friendly name to help identify the correct printer when making a Bluetooth connection. The BD
Name for each printer is OM7212 – nnnn where nnnn is the last four digits of the printer’s serial number. e.g. If the printer’s
serial number is 123456789, the BD Name will be OM7212 – 6789.
8.3.3 Maximum Simultaneous Connections
The OM7212 will allow only one Bluetooth SPP connection at a time.
8.3.4 PIN Code
Each Bluetooth enabled OM7212 contains a PIN code to help ensure you connect to the printer that you intend to. When
establishing a Bluetooth connection for the first time, you will be prompted by the host device to enter the PIN of the OM7212.
The PIN is the last four digits of the printer’s serial number. e.g. If the printer’s serial number is 123456789, the PIN will be 6789.
8.4 802.11b (Wireless Ethernet)
If your OM7212 is configured with the optional 802.11b wireless Ethernet radio component, the printer can be used in an
802.11b wireless network in a variety of configurations. Supported modes of operation include: Access Point (existing
infrastructure); Ad-hoc / peer -to-peer; 64 and 128 bit WEP encryption as well as unencrypted data transfer; Static and Dynamic
IP address a llocation.
8.4.1 802.11b Configuration Description
This section describes the wireless network configuration process to allow the printer to participate on your new or existing
wireless network.
First, it is necessary to determine what network mode the printer will need to operate in. If there will be a wireless router or other
device acting as an Access Point (AP) on the i ntended wireless network, then the printer needs to be configured for AP mode. If
the intended network includes only workstations (such as a collection of laptop computers), or you do not currently have a
wireless network, then the printer needs to be configured for Ad-hoc mode. The mode can be altered as needed as the network
environment evolves.
Both modes require an SSID to identify the wireless network to all participants. In the case of an existing network, you will need
to set this to match the network’s SSID.
Additionally, the degree of encryption used needs to be determined as well. For existing networks, these settings must be
configured to match the intended network. If setting up a new network, the encryption settings can be configured as needed for
your purposes. These settings include Encryption Mode, at least one Encryption Key, and Use Encryption Key Entry.
Finally, if using Ad-hoc mode, the network channel needs to be set as well for the desired network (For AP mode, the channel is
automatically acquired from the AP during the connection negotiation process).
8.4.2 TCP/IP Protocol Configuration Description
All 802.1 1b wireless Ethernet communications utilize the TCP/IP protocol suite for operation on the network.
The printer uses TCP port 9100 for raw data transfer.
If your network will have a DHCP-enabled server or router on it (most wireless routers can be configured to provide DHCP
services), the simplest and most flexible configuration available for the printer is to enable dynamic IP Address Allocation via
DHCP. If there is no DHCP server available, or you have a need for a statically assigned
IP on your network, then you must configure the IP Address Allocation setting to static.
If using static allocation mode, three additional settings must also be configured: Static IP Address, Static IP Address Mask, and
Static IP Gateway. These settings will all depend on how the network is currently configured, and as such, cannot be
enumerated here. Contact your network administrator for more information about configuring a static IP address for your
network.
8.4.3 802.11b Network Identification Name
In order to provide a means of identification on the wireless network, a setting is available to assign a name or other
personalized string of up to 15 characters in length. This will allow you to refer to printers uniquely by name on the network. The
printer provides a default name of “OM7212”.
If two or more printers, having the same assigned network name (whether by using the default setting or having similar name
assignments, as above), are active at the same time on the same network, additional name modification steps are taken to
ensure a unique name to each. For every printer with the same name that joins the network after the first, an additional
numerical suffix is added to the name. For example, using the default name “OM7212”: the first printer joining the network will
use the name “OM7212”; the second will have its name appended to “OM7212-2”; the third, “OM7212-3”, etc.
Because this name modification technique is dynamic in nature, the resulting network name that a printer ends up using can
vary based on the presence or absence of other like-named printers, every time the printer joins the network. Setting unique
names for each printer is therefore recommended if using more than a single printer on the same network.
8.4.4 Name Resolution Issues (Attention: Network Administrators)
There are two options available when it comes to name resolution with OmniPrint printers. The first, and probably most widely
used, is broadcast name resolution by way of NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NBT), courtesy of its Name Management Protocol (NMP).
Smaller Windows-based networks without a local DNS server will use this option for both static and dynamic IP address
allocation modes. This mode is more flexible than using the DNS solution (described below), as it requires no additional network
configuration, but the broadcast mechanism limits the scope of the printer to a single network subnet.
The s econd option requires a local DNS server, and works best with the static IP address allocation mode, but can be made to
work with Dynamic-DNS, if a DHCP server-side update mechanism is available – the printer cannot do its own Dynamic-DNS
update. In this case, a network administrator needs to configure the DNS server to provide a valid name -to-IP mapping for the
intended printers. Note that this mode is less flexible than the first option, but allows the printer to be used in a larger-scaled
network.
This configuration is entirely client (and DNS server)-specific, as the printer has no need for name resolution i tself; the client
machines are the ones who need to resolve the printer’s name. For W indows, the determining factors are whether or not the
client machine uses a DNS server to do name resolution, and then whether the DNS server has an entry to resolve the specified
printer’s name. If these are both true, then DNS name resolution will be used. If either of these are not true, then the client
Windows machine will resort to the broadcast resolution method.
Other operating systems may require the DNS method to be used, as they may not have the capability to do broadcast name
resolution.
Note: NetBIOS name server (NBNS; WINS in Windows) support currently does not exist in OmniPrint printers. Windows is
always able to use broadcast resolution as a lowest common denominator, and the presence of a NBNS/WINS server is never
guaranteed.
9 User-Configurable Printer Settings
Configuration commands are sent to the printer to change the printer’s non-volatile settings.
After sending the desired sequence of command functions to the printer, allow the printer to remain idle for two seconds. Within
that time, the printer will save the new settings to non-volatile memory. The POWER LED will blink red briefly during this
process. Note that if the configuration commands do not differ from the current settings, the POWER LED will not blink red.
Some functions, when changed, will take effect immediately, while others (such as communication settings) won't become
active until the printer power is cycled off and back on. This is notated for each command function. If your printer has dip
switches then the ser ial co m munication settings must be set with t he dip switches.

10 Troubleshooting
1) IF THE POWER LED DOES NOT COME ON.
Make sure the battery is securely plugged into the printer, the adapter, and the power outlet. Also, make sure that power is
supplied to the power outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a switch or timer, use another outlet. If using the printer on batteries,
make sure the battery is charged and securely plugged in.
1) IF THE POWER LED IS ON BUT PAPER DOES NOT FEED.
This may be a head jam condition, first turn off the printer and make sure there is no paper stuck in the mechanism; however do
not use force or a sharp object to remove the jammed paper.
2) IF THE PAPER IS NOT FEEDING PROPERLY.
If the printout looks squashed, make sure that the paper roll moves freely on the paper holder. If the paper is wrinkled on the
edges, the roll may not be loaded properly. In that case remove the paper and reload and make sure the paper path is straight.
3) IF THE PRINTER DOES NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THE HOST.
Run the self test to check that the printer works properly. If the self test does not work contact your dealer or qualified service
person. If the self test works properly, check the following:
x You are using the right interface cable.
x The connection on both ends of the cable between the printer and the host.
x The data transmission setting may be different between the printer and the host. Use the self test to check the printer
configuration.
x If using the IrDA port, make sure the printer is within 1 m of the host.
x If using the IrDA port, make sure nothing is between the host and the printer or blocking the lenses.
x If using the IrDA port outdoors change the orientation of the printer to avoid excessive light.
4)IFALINEOFDOTSISMISSINGINTHEPRINTOUT.
The print head may be damaged. Contact your dealer or qualified service person.
5) IF THE PRINTER ERROR LED IS BLINKING.
Printer is out of paper, the cover is open, or the battery is low.
