1. Outline

ENGLISH

The SP200 Series Serial Impact Dot Matrix Printer is designed for use with
electronic instruments such as POS, banking equipment, computer peripheral
equipment, etc.
The major features of the SP200 Series are as follows:

1. Bi-directional printing at approx. 2.5 lines/sec.

2. Serial interface or Parallel interface.

3. The data buffer allows the unit to receive print data even during printing.

4. Peripheral unit drive circuit enables control of external devices such as cash
drawers.

2-2. Locating the printer

When you locate your printer, keep the following tips in mind:

ENGLISH

1. Protect your printer from excessive heat such as direct sunlight or heaters, and
keep it away from moisture and dust.

2. Place the printer on a firm, level surface which is fairly vibration-free.

3. A steady power supply that is not subject to power surges should be connected
to the printer.
For example, do not connect it to the same circuit as a large, noise-producing
appliance such as a refrigerator or an air conditioner.

4. Make sure the line voltage is the voltage specified on the printer’s identifica­tion plate.

5. To disconnect the printer, the plug has to be disconnected from the wall socket,
which has to be located close to the printer, and easy to access.

2-3. Handling Care

1. Be careful not to drop paper clips, pins or other foreign matter into the unit as
these cause the printer to malfunction.

2. Do not attempt to print when either paper or ribbon cartridge is not located in
the printer, otherwise the print head can be damaged.

3. Do not open the cover while printing.

4. Do not touch the print head immediately after printing as it gets very hot.

5. Use only roll paper that is not glued to the core.

6. When the paper end mark appears on the paper, replace the roll paper before
it runs out.

2-4. Maintenance

Essentially, your printer is a robust piece of equipment, but should be treated with
a modicum of care in order to avoid malfunctions. For example:

1. Keep your printer in a “comfortable” environment. Roughly speaking, if you
feel comfortable, then the environment is suitable for your printer.

2. Do not subject the printer to physical shocks or excessive vibration.

3. Avoid over-dusty environments. Dust is the enemy of all precision mechani­cal devices.

4. To clean the exterior of the printer, use a cloth barely dampened with either
water with a little detergent or a little alcohol, but do not allow any liquid to
fall inside the printer.

5. The interior of the printer may be cleaned with a small cleaner or a com­pressed-air aerosol (sold for this purpose). When performing this operation,
be sure not to bend or damage any cable connections or electronic compo­nents.

then released within 0.5 sec., the
paper feeds on line.

• When this switch is held depressed
for more than 0.5 sec., the paper
feeds continuously.
(The above paper feed operation is
possible for both ON LINE and OFF
LINE modes.)

3 POWER lamp (green LED)

• Lights when the power to the printer is on.

• Flashes when paper is out, mechanical error occurs, when there is an alarm due
to head temperature detection, or when a CPU error has occurred.

• If the paper is out, load new paper and press the ON LINE switch.

• When the POWER lamp flashes due to occurrence of a mechanical error, turn
off the power and remove the cause of a mechanical error and then turn on the
power again to reset the printer.

• If the POWER lamp flashes due to the alarm of the head temperature detection,
the printer will be set automatically when the head temperature becomes low.

4 ON LINE lamp (green LED)

LED lit: Printer is ON LINE

1 <SELF PRINTING>

ENGLISH

FEED + POWER ON (Turn the power on while holding the FEED switch
depressed.)
Self-printing will be performed according to the VER. NO., DIP switch
settings and character order. When the FEED switch is held continuously or
when the FEED switch is depressed at the time of the end of self-printing, only
the characters will be printed out repeatedly.

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.

Cartouche à ruban

Mode d’emploi

2-2. Emplacement de l’imprimante

Pour installer correctement l’imprimante, gardez à l’esprit les conseils suivants:

1. Mettez l’imprimante à l’abri de températures excessivement élevées comme en plein
soleil ou à proximité d’un appareil de chauffage, et à l’abri de l’humidité et de la
poussière.

2. Installez l’imprimante sur une surface stable et de niveau sur laquelle l’imprimante

FRANÇAIS

ne sera pas soumise à des vibrations.

3. Veillez à ce que l’imprimante soit branchée sur une source secteur stable.
Par exemple, ne pas brancher l’imprimante sur la prise secteur d’un circuit alimentant
déjà un appareil électroménager gros consommateur de courant et producteur de
parasites, tel qu’un réfrigérateur ou un climatiseur.

4. Veillez à ce que la tension du secteur corresponde bien à la tension spécifiée sur la
plaque d’identification de l’imprimante.

5. Pour débrancher l’imprimante, la fiche doit être débranchée de la prise murale, et
celle-ci doit être située à proximité de l’imprimante et facile d’accès.

2-3. Précautions de manipulation

1. Faites attention à ne pas laisser tomber de trombones, punaises ou autres objets dans
l’imprimante. Un dysfonctionnement pourrait en résulter.

2. Ne pas essayer d’imprimer quand il n’y a pas de papier ou de cartouche à ruban dans
l’imprimante. La tête d’impression pourrait être endommagée.

3. Ne pas ouvrir le capot pendant l’impression.

4. Ne pas toucher la tête d’impression immédiatement après un travail d’impression car
elle devient très chaude.

5. Utilisez seulement un rouleau de papier dont l’extrémité n’est pas collée au tube
central.

6. Quand le repère de fin de papier apparaît sur le papier, remplacez le rouleau de papier
avant qu’il soit terminé.

2-4. Entretien

Avant tout, cette imprimante est un appareil robuste, mais un minimum de précautions
sont à prendre pour éviter les dysfonctionnements. Par exemple:

1. Laissez l’imprimante dans un environnement “confortable”. En gros, si vous êtes à
l’aise, l’environnement sera acceptable pour l’imprimante.

2. Ne pas soumettre l’imprimante à des chocs ou à des vibrations excessives.

3. Évitez les environnements excessivement poussiéreux. La poussière est l’ennemi de
tous les appareils mécaniques de précision.

4. Pour nettoyer l’extérieur de l’imprimante, utilisez un chiffon légèrement imbibé
d’eau ou d’alcool, mais ne laissez aucun liquide pénétrer à l’intérieur de l’imprimante.

5. L’intérieur de l’imprimante peut être nettoyé avec une petite brosse de nettoyage ou
un aérosol à air comprimé (vendu à cet effet). Pendant cette opération, veillez à ne pas
plier ni endommager les connexions ou les composants électroniques.
