Usage

The DM-D500 can be used with the following equiment.
❏ IR Series. You can attach the DM-D500 to the IR Series using the

“DM-D pole unit for IR” (DP-504). (See page 8.)

❏ TM-H5000II/TM-J8000 printers. You can attach the DM-D500 to

TM-H5000II/TM-J8000 printers using the “DM-D pole unit for TM
printers (Type B)” (DP-503). (See page 10.)

❏ TM-U375/TM-U950. You can attach the DM-D500 to the TM-U375/

TM-U950 printers using the “DM-D pole unit for TM printers
(Type A)” (DP-502). (See page 13.)

❏ TM-H6000/TM-U675. You can attach the DM-D500 to TM-H6000/

TM-U675 printers using the “DM-D pole unit for TM printers

Precautions when connecting to a TM printer

When the DM-D500 is connected to a TM printer, be sure to check the serial
number on the label affixed to the re ar or bottom of the TM prin ter. If the serial
number is one of the numbers indicated below it can be used immediately. If
the serial number is not listed below, however, the DM-D500 cannot be
connected to the TM printer as it is. In this case, please purchase and install the
latest model of the UB-S01 board (Part code: C8233610200) before using the
DM-D500 with that printer.

If your TM or other printer is not listed below, it may be connected to the DM­D500 without any special modifications (continued on back).

PA-6511, PA-6513, PB-6509 or PB-6510 as the power supply.

❏ Never connect the DC cable to the power supply unit when the

power supply unit is connected.

❏ Unplug the DC cable by holding the connector part. If you pull the

cable to unplug, it may be damaged.

3. Connect the cable for the DM-D500 to the display connector on the
DM-D stand until you feel it click.

4. Connect one end of the computer interface cable to the computer
connector on the DM-D stand; then connect the other end to the
RS-232 connector on the computer. Tighten the screws on both ends
of the cables to fasten them.

5. When using as a stand alone, go to step 6.
When using with the printer, connect one end of the printer
interface cable for the printer to the printer connector on the DM-D
stand; then connect the other end to the connector on the printer.
Tighten the screws on both ends of the cable to fasten them.

9. Arrange the cables as shown below. Put the cables for the DM-D500
inside the DM-D stand.

10. Attach the base plate to the DM-D stand following the number of
the arrow shown below. At this time, push the base plate until it is
locked by the hook on the DM-D stand.

11. When the extension support (DP-105) is used, attach Velcro tapes to
the four corners of the plate to avoid falling down.

12. Connect the cord of the power unit to the socket.

DIP Switch Functions

The DM-D500 has two groups of DIP switches. The functions of the
DIP switches are as follows:

DIP switch 1

DSW1 No. Function ON OFF Default setting

1-1 Data receive error Ignored Displays “?” OFF
1-2 Hand shaking XON/XOFF (*1) DTR/DSR OFF
1-3 Data length 7 bits 8 bits OFF
1-4 Parity on or off Parity No parity OFF
1-5 Parity type Even Odd OFF
1-6
1-7 OFF

2-5 Address 0 The display device number
2-6 Address 1 OFF
2-7 Address 2 OFF

2-8 Reserved (*5) - Fixed to OFF OFF

(*1)The “Y-connection enable” is set when a TM printer with no modular jack for the

DM-D is connected with this product, using one COM port to connect both TM
printer and DM display. In this case, an optional DM-D stand (DP-501) and a
connecting cable are required. In the cases other than above, choose
“Y-connection disable” (default setting).

(*2)This function can select whether or not you perform self test when turning on the

power. See “Self Test” for details.

(*3)When selecting “20 column and 2 line mode,” this product can be used like the

DM-D105/106/205/206. In this case, the graphic display and the original functions
for the DM-D500 cannot be used, but when selecting “256 × 64 dots mode,” they
can be used.

(*4)When setting to “Printer is selected,” data is sent to the TM printer, but is not

displayed on the display. When setting to “Display is selected,” data is displayed
on the display but is not output from the TM printer.
The selection can be changed using <ESC=> command.

(*5)Stay at OFF setting.

Turning and Tilting the DM-D5 0 0

You can turn or tilt the display while holding the support. The display
can be moved easily, so do not move any further if it stops. If you move
it by force, you may damage it.

With the “DM-D pole unit for IR” (DP-504) and the “DM-D pole unit
for TM printers (Type B)” (DP-503), the display area maynot face the
direction you desire. In this case, remove the base, change the position
of the tab ob the base so that the display faces to the direction you
desire, and reattach it to the base.

48°

45° for left
(you can turn the same angle for right.)

The display area has the following range of movement:
❏ Tilt: 48° max. (4 steps, 5 positions)

s

❏ Horizontal rotation: 90° max. (45° for each left and right)

35

Self Test

The DM-D500 has a self test function. If you want to perform a self test,
you must change the setting of the DIP switch.

Check Items of Self test

The following items are checked during the self test:

❏ Control ROM version
❏ DIP switch settings
❏ Example of display characters
❏ Example of each function, such as brightness, flashing, and scroll

Performing Self test

To perform the self test, follow the steps below.

1. Turn off the power for the DM-D500.

2. Set the SW 2-2 of the DIP switch 2 to ON, and turn on the power.

Note:

If the contents of the self test are not displayed, the DM-D500 may be
malfunctioning. Please contact your DM-D500 dealer for assistance.

When the self test is finished and no error occurs, the cursor is
displayed at the home position; then the DM-D500 is ready to receive
data.
