1. OUTLINE
The TSP200 series is ideal for printing text, bar code and graphics.
The TSP200 series has the following features:
1. extremely quiet and fast printing (maximum 50 mm/sec.) using the direct line
thermal printing method
2. support many bar code types
(UPC-A, UPC-E, JAN/EAN-8, JAN/EAN-13, CODE 39, IFT 2 OF 5, CODE
128, CODE 93, NW-7)
3. dual interfaces (RS232C, Parallel)
4. memory switches that enable wide selection of printer default settings
The printer has two different software modes which can be selected using the DIP
switch.
(Factory setting: Star Mode)
Star Mode: DIP switch 1-7 ON
This mode is compatible with Star Receipt printers, such as the SP300 and SP200
series.
ESC/POS Mode: DIP switch 1-7 OFF
This mode is compatible with the printers supporting ESC/POS command.
ESC/POS is a trademark of Seiko Epson Corporation.
For improvement purposes, the descriptions and specifications in this manual are
subject to change without notice.

2. MEMORY SWITCH AND DIP SWITCH
Functional settings are made using the printer’s EEPROM memory switches and
the DIP switches.
2-1. Memory Switch
Each memory switch is a 16-bit word stored in EEPROM.
The printer is shipped with the factory setting which is made in accordance with
its product type.
For the detailed functions and the settings of the Memory switches, please refer
to “Chapter 8”.
The factory settings are shown in the table below.

3-3. Switch Operation (Combined Switch Operation)
1) <SELF PRINTING>
FEED + POWER ON (Turn the power on while holding the FEED switch
depressed.)
Self-printing will be performed. VER. NO., Memory switch settings, DIP
switch settings and character order will be printed out.
2) <Hexadecimal dump mode>
ON LINE + POWER ON (Turn the power on while holding the ON LINE
switch depressed.)
Each of the signals sent from the computer to the printer will be printed out
in hexadecimal code.
This function allows you to check if a control code sent to the printer by the
program being used is correct or not. The last line is not printed if its data is
less than one full line. However, if the ON LINE switch is pressed to set the
off line mode, the last line will be printed. To turn off the mode, it is necessary
to turn off the printer completely.

This mode is accessed when the DIP switch 1-6 is set to ON.
Signals are controlled using the DTR line as a BUSY flag.

DTR
Printing
Power ON
Data Data Data
Buffer full Buffer empty
Immediately after power on (provided that no error occurs), the printer sets DTR
to “SPACE” to indicate that it is ready to receive data. When the host detects that
DTR is in “SPACE” condition, it begins sending text data over the RXD line.
When the printer’s remaining buffer space falls to *256 bytes or less, the printer
sets DTR to “MARK.” The host responds by halting the data transfer. However,
note that the printer remains capable of receiving data until the buffer becomes
full.
Available buffer space increases as the printer prints the buffered data. When the
printer has cleared all but the last *256 bytes of data, it sets DTR back to “SPACE”
to indicate that it is ready to receive more data.

■ Error Condition
Upon detecting an error, the printer immediately sets DTR to “MARK” and goes
offline. If the error was caused by a paper-out condition, you can clear it by
loading new paper and then pressing the ON LINE switch (Star mode) or closing
the cover (ESC/POS mode).

Immediately after power on (provided that no error occurs), the printer informs
the host that it is ready to receive data by outputting the X-ON signal (control code
DC1; value = 11H) over the TXD line. If necessary the printer repeats the signal
every three seconds until the host begins sending text data over the RXD line.
When the printer’s remaining buffer space falls to *256 bytes or less, the printer
begins to output X-OFF signals (DC3, value = 13H) over the TXD line. The host
responds by halting the data transfer. Note that the printer remains capable of
receiving data until the buffer becomes full.
Available buffer space increases as the printer prints the buffered data. When the
printer has cleared all but the last *256 bytes of data, it again outputs the X-ON
signal.

6. PERIPHERAL UNIT DRIVE CIRCUIT
A drive circuit for driving peripheral units (such as cash drawers) is featured on
the main logic board of this printer. A modular connector for driving peripheral
units is featured on the output side on the drive circuit. When using this circuit,
connect the cable for the peripheral unit. (Cables must be prepared by the user.)
Use cables which meet the following specifications.
1. Use the modular plug as shown in Figure 6-1.
2. Separate ground wire is required for Europe only.
3. If the printer is to be used in Europe, the noise filter should be attached to the
cable, as shown in Figure 6-2.
CAUTION: DO NOT connect any other plug to the peripheral unit connector.

Horizontal density is three times that of the bit image for <ESC>“k”.
(Compare the print samples.)
Print fine density bit image
<ESC> “k” n <0> d1...dk [k = n * 24]
1B 6B n 00 d1...dk [k = n * 24]
Prints a bit image using 1 horizontal dot and 1 vertical dot for 1 dot
of input data.
n is designated by the number of data bytes in the horizontal
direction and n must be within the range 1 to 72.
The data is ignored if it is longer than 72 digits or goes beyond the
right margin. Relationship between the input data and actual
printing is shown below.

1 1. AUTOMATIC CUTTER
The TSP242 comes equipped with a guillotine-type automatic paper cutter.
1 The cutter operates in response to data commands. To enable cutter operation,
set Memory Switch #2-8 to indicate that the cutter is installed.
2 NEVER place fingers or metal objects in the cutter area.
3 If a jam occurs in the cutter area, switch off the power, use tweezers to remove
the jammed paper, then switch the power back on. The printer will return the
blade to the home position.
4 Never clean the cutter blade with alcohol or any other solvent, as this may
remove the blade’s lubrication and shorten the blade life.
