1. Outline

This manual explains how to use the thermal printer TSP552II and provides points to note for safe use and prevention of problems and malfunctions. Before using the printer, please read this manual thoroughly to ensure its optimum use.

The major features of the printer are as follows:

1. Prints at high speed (max. 130 mm/sec, 28 lines per second when the line feed is set to 3.75 mm)

2. Quality print (8 dots/mm) thanks to the high-density line thermal print head.

3. Low noise due to line thermal technology.

4. Logo, coupon, and bar code printing is available.

5. Print density can be adjusted by DIP switches.

6. An auto cutter is provided as standard.

7. The built-in peripheral unit driver enables control of two peripheral units.

8. Considerable ease of paper loading thanks to the paper drop-in structure.

9. The paper drop-in structure makes maintenance easy.

10.The compact size requires only a small installation space.

11.Supports ESC/POS

commands.

Choosing a place for the printer

Before actually unpacking the printer, you should take a few minutes to think about where you plan to use it. Remember the following points when doing this.

✓ Choose a firm, level surface where the printer will not be exposed to

vibration.

✓ The power outlet you plan to connect to for power should be nearby

and unobstructed.

✓ Make sure that the printer is close enough to your host computer for

you to connect the two.

✓ Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight. ✓ Make sure that the printer is well away from heaters and other sources

of extreme heat.

✓ Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust. ✓ Make sure that the printer is connected to a reliable power outlet. It

should not be on the same electric circuit as copiers, refrigerators, or other appliances that cause power spikes.

✓ Make sure that the room where you are using the printer is not too

humid.

4. Connecting Cables and AC Adapter

4-1. Connecting the Interface Cable

Note: Before connecting/disconnecting the interface cable, make sure that

power to the printer and all the devices connected to the printer is turned off. Also make sure the power cable plug is disconnected from the AC outlet.

(1)Connect the interface cable to the connector on the rear panel of the printer. (2)In the case of a serial interface, tighten the connector screws. In the case of a

parallel interface, fasten the connector clasps.

(3)Pass the interface cable through the hole provided at the bottom of the printer

cover, then place the printer in position. Note: Make sure that the interface cable is passed through the hole. Failure

to do so may cause the cable to be squashed by the printer, resulting in damage to the cable.

4-2. Connecting the Peripheral Drive Cable

ENGLISH

Note: Before connecting/disconnecting the peripheral drive cable, make

sure that power to the printer and all the devices connected to the printer is turned off. Also make sure the power cable plug is disconnected from the AC outlet.

(1)Connect the peripheral drive cable to the connector on the rear panel of the

printer, and pass it through the cable hole provided at the bottom of the printer cover. Note: Make sure that the peripheral drive cable is passed through the hole.

Failure to do so may cause the cable to be squashed by the printer, resulting in damage to the cable.

4-3. Connecting the optional AC Adapter

Note: Before connecting/disconnecting the AC adapter, make sure that

power to the printer and all the devices connected to the printer is turned off. Also make sure the power cable plug is disconnected from the AC outlet.

(1)Connect the AC adapter to the power cable.

Note: Use only the standard AC adapter and power cable.

(2)Cut off the blank cable hole on the printer cover using nippers. (3)Pass the AC adapter through the hole, and connect it to the connector on the

printer. Note: Make sure that the AC cable is passed through the hole. Failure to do

so may cause the cable to be squashed by the printer, resulting in serious danger.

(4)Insert the power cable plug into an AC outlet.

ENGLISH

4-4. Turning Power On

Make sure that the AC adapter has been connected as described in 4-3.

ENGLISH

(1)Set the power switch located on the side of the printer to on.

The POWER lamp on the control panel will light up.

Power switch

Important!

We recommend that you unplug the printer from the power outlet whenever you do not plan to use it for long periods. Because of this, you should locate the printer so that the power outlet it is plugged into is nearby and easy to access.

8. Preventing and Clearing Paper Jams

8-1. Preventing Paper Jams

The paper should not be touched during ejection and before it is cut. Pressing or pulling the paper during ejection may cause a paper jam, paper cutting failure or line feed failure.

ENGLISH

8-2. Removing Paper Jam

If a paper jam occurs, clear it as described below. (1)Set the power switch to off to turn off power to the printer. (2)Pull the lever toward you to open the printer cover.

Note: Make sure that the lever is pulled until it stops at the stopper. If the lever

is not pulled up to the stopper, the printer cover may not open.

(3)Remove the jammed paper.

Note: Take care not to damage the printer when removing the jammed paper.

Since it is easy to damage the thermal head in particular, take care not to touch it.

– 19 –

(4)Position the roll paper straight and close the printer cover gently.

Note 1: Make sure that the paper is positioned straight. If the printer cover

ENGLISH

is closed with the paper skewed, a paper jam may result.

Note 2: Lock the printer cover by pressing on the center of the cover. If any

part of the cover other than the center is pressed, the cover may not be locked properly. This may sometimes disable printing.

(5)Set the power switch to on to turn on power to the printer. Make sure that the

ERROR LED is not lit. Note: While the ERROR LED is lit, the printer will not accept any commands

such as the print command, so make sure that the printer cover is locked properly.

– 20 –

9. Test Print Method

9-1. Producing a Test Print

To start test print, set the power switch to off, set the paper in place, then set the power switch to on while holding down the FEED switch. When a certain amount of printing is performed, the printer will cut the paper and stop automatically.

An Example of Test Printout

ENGLISH

9-2. Hexadecimal Dump

Open the printer cover and set the power switch to on while holding down the FEED switch.After closing the printer cover, printer output will be in hexadecimal format.

The received data is printed as follows.

Address Hexadecimal data ASCII data

– 21 –

10. Periodical Cleaning

ENGLISH

Printed characters may become partially unclear due to accumulated paper dust and dirt. To prevent such a problem, paper dust collected in the paper holder and paper transport section and on the surface of the thermal head must be removed periodically. Such cleaning is recommended to be carried out once a month.

10-1.Cleaning the Thermal Head

To remove blackish dust collected on the surface of the thermal head, wipe it with alcohol (IPA).

Note: The thermal head is easy to damage, so clean it gently with a soft cloth.

Take sufficient care not to scratch it when cleaning it.

10-2.Cleaning the Paper Holder

Use a soft cloth to remove paper dust from the paper holder and paper transport section.
