2.1.1 Looping presenter

The loop generating presenter mechanism has many benefits;

•

It handles documents of

various lengths by storing the printed paper in a loop.

•

It holds the printout until fully

printed and cut before presenting the completed printout to the customer.

•

When presented, only the

very end of the printout is held by the printer so the customer can easily take the printout no matter how long or short it is. You can also select to eject a portion of the printout and then use the pull detector to eject the rest when the customer pulls in the paper.

•

The retract-and-retain

function can retract uncollected printouts and throw them in a wastebasket inside the kiosk. Retracts are reported to the driver so any remaining data for that printout can be deleted.

3 INSTALLATION

3.1 Installing a paper guide

The paper guide selects if the printer should use 58, 60, 80, or 82.5 mm paper width. The printer senses what paper guide is fitted and adjusts to it automatically. The TTP 2000 printers are delivered without paper guide fitted.

1. Select the paper guide you want to install

2. Open the printhead by pushing green printhead lock plate backwards and lifting up the printhead, see page 24.

3. Enter the T-shaped tab of the paper guide into the “T”-hole, and fasten the screw.

4. Close the printhead

3.2 Installation considerations

The TTP 2000 printer should be installed in some kind of enclosure such as a self-service kiosk. The footprint and the paper output height is identical to the TTP 1020 /TTP 1030.

3.2.1 Orientation

The TTP 2000 can be installed horizontally or vertically1. Vertical installation is suitable for narrow kiosk designs. Here the printer swaps outputs; the normal output becomes the retract, and the retract output feeds the printout to the customer.

Horizontal

Screen

ertical

Figure 5 The printer can be installed in different orientations. Just set parameter

n57 to the appropriate setting and the printer adapts to its new orientation. If you use the Windows driver, a selection in the driver sets horizontal or vertical mode.

NOTE! — In vertical mode the printer does not loop the paper but stores it hanging

down, then cuts and ejects vertically when the printout is ready.

3.2.3 Using a Swecoin roll holder

The Swecoin roll holders fit paper widths, 58 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm, and 82.5 mm without adjustments, and takes minimum 150 mm rolls.

An example of a Swecoin roll holder is the shelf type that has the quick fit fastening so you just connect the cables to the printer then slide it onto the roll holder. It also has additional holes so that you can attach the 75 W PSU with straps, and fit an optional paper low sensor.

This roll holder both stands stable on your desktop, and can be fastened into your kiosk and used in normal installations.

More Swecoin roll holders can be found in chapter 10 of this manual.

Additional space is required for paper loading and paper jam removal. Consider mounting the printer on a movable platform so that the printer can be maintained outside the printer enclosure.

HINT! — We recommend you to make the output slot and the retract slot 97 mm wide.

This way you will have no problem using all paper widths that the TTP 2000 series of printers can handle.

3.2.5 Electrostatic discharges, and earth currents

Preventing ESD and earth currents from affecting the printer operation

requires

proper connection of the printer chassis to protective earth through a mounting platform or through a separate earth conductor.

3.2.6 Ambient light

There is an optical sensor 20 mm behind the paper exit at the front of the printer.

To ensure proper printer operation, design the printer enclosure so that it prevents direct sunlight or light from indoor lamps from reaching the sensor through the paper exit.

3.3 Installing a paper-low sensor (option)

A paper-low sensor alerts the system when a certain length of paper remains on the roll. The purpose of this sensor is to get an early alert so that you can replace the paper roll in time in remotely located kiosks.

All paper roll holders supplied by Swecoin can be equipped with paper-low sensors. Just install it, and connect the cable to the paper low connector at the back of the printer.

3.6 Making a test printout

1. Switch OFF the power.

2. Hold the feed-forward button depressed while powering ON

the printer. Keep the button depressed until printing starts.

This produces a printout showing the firmware program version and date, control board revision number and serial number, name of loaded fonts and logotypes, and the parameter settings.

3. Each successive press of the button will produce a test

printout.

Switch the printer OFF and ON again to exit self-test mode.

If a power button is not available for the printer, follow the below procedure:

1. Lift the printhead

2. Hold the FF-button pressed while lowering the head and hold it pressed while an auto load of paper is done

3. Release the button and a self-test printout will be printed

4. The printer exits self-test mode and goes on-line

3.6.1 Customizing the self test printout

The self test printout starts with a text line, and then a Swecoin logotype. This logotype is just a printout of logotype No. 0., so if you want to personalize the self test printouts in your installation, delete all logotypes and store your own logotype as No. 0. See also logotypes on page 56.

3.7 Installing a printer driver

Printer drivers for Linux, and Microsoft Windows™ are available on the Swecoin web site

www.swecoin.se

, or on disk from Swecoin, see page 2 for address. Please follow the

installation instructions that accompany the drivers.

3.7.1 Status monitoring through Windows1

Status can be fetched from a language monitor (20x0mon.dll) that is installed into Windows with the driver. Documentation of the language monitor is available on the drivers’ page on the Swecoin web site.

If you want to monitor status through the language monitor,

make sure that the printer is

selected as default printer

, and that bi-directional support is enabled in the port section of

the driver settings.

NOTE! – On TTP 2020, parameter p5 should be set to 1 to make status

replies possible when paper is out. See page 62.

3.7.2 Settings available in the driver

The looks of the dialogue boxes vary between driver versions, but essentially the same settings can be made.

You start with the Printing Preferences window. Here you find the portrait/landscape setting, and an advanced button.

Figure 17. Example of setup window

If a print server is used, it must support true binary communications, bi-directionally. If you use incompatible print servers,

bidirectional support must be disabled in the driver properties.

Page based give the page size set in the Paper Size setting (in server preferences, forms). Roll based saves paper by cutting

after the last print on the page. Black Mark synchronizes with preprinted marks on the back of the paper.

Interpret like; Retract page in presenter when a new page is printed, and retract uncollected pages after xx seconds.

“Cut per page” give three pages when a 3-page document is printed, while “Cut per document” give one long page with all

information printed on it.

Holds printing of consecutive pages until the customer takes the presented page. If a page is not taken within the set retract

timeout, the rest of the print job is deleted from the print queue in Windows This requires bidirectional communication.

Paper Advance is advance before cut, that is bottom margin.

This eject is in addition to the standard 50 mm, so a setting of 100 gives 150 mm total eject.

Paper reverse is reverse before print, and reduces the 9 mm top margin with the value entered here. So a setting of 4 gives

9 – 4 = 5 mm top margin.

Black mark synchronization ON /OFF is selected with Page Type.

Scaling to e.g. 99% can be used when you need to print forms with fixed page length that otherwise would not fit on a page.

5 PROGRAMMING

There are two completely different ways of setting up the printout: Text oriented and driver oriented style.

Text oriented

The printout can be seen as the page of a simple word processor. You send text and graphics to the printer, which prints the information in the same sequence as the data is received. Design features are limited to the font stored in the flash PROM of the printer.

There are two text cursors, one for portrait, and one for landscape

. The start positions of the cursors are the upper left corner for the portrait cursor, and the upper left corner for the landscape cursor, see Figure 24. You can switch between these cursors at any time; the cursor will retain its last position on the ticket.

Driver oriented

All TTP 2000 printers can print documents through a driver. When a Windows driver is used, you can use any Windows program to design the ticket with text, graphics, bar codes or whatever you want to print and in any orientation you want.

The Windows driver issues all the necessary commands. By setting up printing preferences in the driver you select how the printer should cut and present the printout.

Text can be printed in any orientation, font, and size.

Graphics can be rotated, color images converted to gray scale, etc.

Bar codes can only be printed in portrait mode unless Fixed Document Mode is selected with parameter n36.

The command reserves an information field as a bar code field. The command also identifies the type, number of digits, and the configuration of bars to be placed in the bar code field.

n1 Specifies the bar code field No. (0—15). Bar code fields may be specified in any

order.

n2n3 Sets the X coordinate of the bar code field origin (n2 is the higher-order and n3

the lower-order byte).

n2 and n3 must be 1-byte hexadecimal or decimal numbers. The values must not

place the bar code outside the total pixel count that can be handled by the printer.

n4n5 Must be specified but the values are discarded by the printer.

n6 Specifies the number of bar code digits, but is ignored by the printer.

n7n8 Specifies the height of the bars.

n9 Specifies the type of bar code. The following types are supported.

n9 = 0 EAN 8 or 13 (auto detect). The printer calculates the necessary check digit.

Send dot-line, 203 dpi

Sends one line of dot data. This command is used to build images, one dot line at a time by the printer driver and should not be combined with text commands.

n Determines the number of bytes. Range: 1-255.

<data> 1 – x bytes, where x is the printhead width in bytes. The printhead width is in

the spec. of the printer. For example:

•

58 mm printers use 54 bytes

•

80 mm printers use 72 bytes

CAUTION! – Always send the No. of bytes that you specify!

If more than the specified No. of bytes are received, the rest of the bytes will be interpreted as text or commands. This can cause any kind of problems in the printer as graphics data can contain any hex value.

If you specify less data then the actual printhead width, the printer will fill the rest of the dot line with spaces.

NOTE! – The status of the sensor is sampled every time the printout is cut. If three

succeeding samples show "no paper", the status reply changes to 00. This is to prevent false alarm if the side of the paper roll is not clean. If you want the momentary status of the sensor, use

There are two possible reasons for that:

1) The last command received by the printer was not a command that triggers a

printout.

2) The printer is printing

*** When parallel cable is connected, both printer and host computer must have been off to set this bit. This is because the interface powers the RAM in the printer.

Extended status is status from the printer together with devices connected to the I2C options-bus available in some Swecoin printers (the TTP 2000 series does not have any I

C bus so these parts of the command are superfluous). The short message protocol gives replies up to 255 bytes. Other protocols may be defined in the future. Protocols are described in separate documents.

ESC ENQ E results in a variable length reply:

Parameter-setting data Enquiry

This command requests information about the setting of parameter n1, that is, the parameter value stored in flash PROM or any parameter value temporarily set by other ESC commands.

n1= 1 gives the setting of parameter 1, etc. The parameter names are listed on page 61.

n1 = 0 gives a response where the first two bytes specifies the length of data to come, and then follows a block of data for all parameters in the temporary setup.

Acknowledge Marker

n1 = One-byte marker. Range 1h to 255h

The "acknowledge marker" n is placed in the command queue and when the execution of commands reaches the marker it is sent back to the host computer. This is an addition to the status commands that pass the queue and are answered immediately when received.

EXAMPLE:

"Print data"

Wait for <01h>

Wait for <02h>

The printer will send

<01h>

when <print data> has executed and

<02h>

when the ejecting

has been performed.

NOTE 1! — You must wait for the acknowledge marker to return before sending any

more data to the printer.

NOTE 2! — Acknowledge marker cannot be used for events that write to the flash

PROM, for instance font loading. This is because the writing procedure erases the buffer, including the markers, and uses all RAM in the printer.

5.4 Font loading

The printer can store 8 fonts in its flash PROM. The memory available for fonts is printed on the self-test printout. The character size is fixed

, so you must load one font file for each character size you require. The fonts are given font numbers when they are loaded into the printer. The first font is assigned number 0 and the next font 1 etc. up to font 7. Parameter p14 “Font Selection” will determine what font to use when no font selection command has been received (see page 63).

You cannot erase a single font, but must erase font 4-7 with command

ESC & D,

or all

eight fonts with

ESC & C

, then reload the fonts you wanted to keep.

Windows software for font generation and management is available on the Swecoin web site. If you need to load fonts in a non-Windows environment, use the

ESC & NUL

command.

The time required for processing the font data that is loaded is typically 15–20 seconds per font, excluding transfer time. During this time, any data sent to the printer will be lost.

NOTE! — The font processing ends with a reset. The presenter motor runs momentarily

to indicate that the printer is ready to be used.

CAUTION! — Loading to the flash PROM will erase the RAM completely since the

RAM is used during the loading process. Any print data residing in RAM will thus be lost.

5.4.1 File format

A font consists of a header describing the font, then data for every character in the font. The header has to be downloaded even if the font consists of a single character only. Below is a description of the font header.

1 byte Reserved Should always be 0 (zero)

1 byte Char. width (X) The number of bytes required for the width of one character,

usually 2 or 3. Range 1 to 8.

1 byte Character pitch The maximum width of one character in the set. This value is

used for tab position calculation. Range 1 to 255.

1 byte Char. height (Y) The maximum height of one character matrix measured in

pixels. This is also the minimum line spacing for this character set.

27 byte Font name String of characters used to identify the character set.

This will be printed on status printouts. (E.g. Swiss 10 cpi.)

Char_matrix table: 256 records, each containing 3 bytes.

3 byte Char_width (pixels) + Char_Ystart(pixels) + Char_Yheight(pixels)

Char_bitmap data: Bitmap data for all characters that are to be defined.

Multiple height and width commands can be used on all fonts.

Row 1

=03H =FFH =80H

The bitmap data consists of bitmap patterns for each character in a character set for which the parameter Char_width in the Char_matrix table is set to a value between 1 and

24. A character that has its Char_width set to zero, is not included in the bitmap data.

The bitmap for one character is then defined according to the following table:

(COL 0, ROW Ystart) , (COL 1, ROW Ystart) , (COL 2, ROW Ystart)

(COL 0, ROW Ystart+1) , (COL 1, ROW Ystart+1) , (COL 2, Ystart+1)

. .

(COL 0, ROW Ystart+Yheight), (COL 1, ROW Ystart+Yheight ), (COL 2, ROW Ystart+Yheight)

In this example, each row consists of 3 columns equal to 3 bytes.

In order to minimize the required storage space, only rows between Ystart and Ystart+Yheight are included in the character bitmap.

5.5 Logotypes

Up to 16 logotypes can be stored in the flash PROM of the printer. The logotypes can be positioned and printed out with commands

ESC g or ESC L

The exact number of logotypes and their sizes is determined by the total amount of memory used for fonts, logotypes and loaded firmware. Make a test printout to see how much memory is available.

NOTE! – Logotype No. 0 is printed in the top of the self test printout, so this can be used

to customize the self test printout.

5.5.1 Loading

Windows software that converts black and white BMP bitmap files to logotypes and load them into the printer is available on the Swecoin web site. If you need to load logotypes in a non-Windows environment, use the

ESC & 1

command.

The time required by the printer to process logotype data, excluding transfer time from the PC, is typically 15 to 20 seconds, per logotype. During this time, any data sent to the printer will be lost.

5.5.2 File format

A header containing information about the logotype number, size and logotype name shall define each loaded logotype. Immediately after the header follows the actual bitmap of the logotype.

ESC & 01H <Header><Bitmap>

Header:

Byte 0 Logotype number used to identify the logotype when printing.

Byte 1 X size measured in bytes.

Byte 2 Y size measured in pixels.

Byte 3—15 A logotype name that will be printed on test printouts.

Bitmap:

The bitmap

must

have exactly (X size * Y size) number of bytes. 1=black, 0=white dot.

Bit No. 7 in byte 0 represents the top left corner of the logotype.

X size

Y size

Byte 0

Page 58

Programming

0602 TTP 2000 Kiosk Printer–Technical Manual 57

5.5.3 Printing

To print a logotype you can use two commands,

ESC L n1

, prints the logotype at the

current cursor position, just like any character.

ESC g n1 n2n3 n4n5

prints the logotype

at a specified X-Y position.

n1 One byte logotype number, (0—15)

n2n3 Two byte X position measured in pixels from the left hand edge of the print

window.

n4n5 Two byte Y position in pixels from top of the page.

These bytes must always be inserted but they are ignored in variable-pagelength mode where logotypes are always printed at the current Y-position.

5.5.4 Erasing

All logotypes are erased with the

ESC & L

command.

CAUTION! — Loading to the flash PROM will erase the RAM completely since the

RAM is used during the loading process. Any print data residing in RAM will thus be lost.

Figure 28. Sensor placement in the printer

A good practice in unattended printer applications is to check for errors and paper availability before printing.

1. Send a Status Report Query (

ESC ENQ 6

, page 49) and check that the answer is "No

errors"

2. If “Status codes available” is indicated, read out the status message with Status

Request (

ESC ENQ 1

, page 46), and take appropriate actions.

3. Send a paper-near-end query (

ESC ENQ 2

, page 47) to see if the sensor reports low

paper level.

4. If paper-near-end is indicated, report the condition to the systems supervisor so that

he can schedule a service visit to the printer.

5. Print the printout.

NOTE 1! — A status reply must be read! Sending a second status query without

reading the reply of the first query may lock the printer.

NOTE 2! — When using a multitask OS, status queries and responses may not be

transferred immediately from your application to the printer and vice versa. So write your program in such a way that it repeats the query if it gets a timeout or an invalid reply. Good practice is to ask once every ten seconds, five times before giving up.

NOTE 3! — You should construct your application in such a way so as not to request

status while printing, as this can result in loss of data

6 DEFAULT PARAMETER SETTINGS

Some of the printer settings can be stored in the flash PROM so that they will be used also after power OFF.

The stored parameter settings are printed out on the self-test printout.

The number in front of the function is the parameter number (n) used when setting the parameter with the command

ESC & P n v

You can use the parameter settings pretty much like normal commands. Either send the parameter values with each printout, or set them up once and then send

ESC & 4h

store all settings in the flash PROM.

You can always return to factory default settings by sending

ESC & F 10

, and then

storing those settings with

ESC & 4h.

NOTE 1! – The parameters can be locked so that no changes are possible.

Check parameter 53 on the self-test printout to find out.

NOTE 2! – If you try to set a parameter to an invalid value, the parameter

will be set to the nearest valid value below.

Document mode

DRV

Determines what should control the page length:

Fixed Document Mode. Shorter documents will automatically be

extended, while longer documents will be divided into several pages of the desired length. Page length will be the length set by parameters 37 and 38

Variable Document Mode. The length of the page varies with

the contents (printouts shorter than the value specified by parameters 37 and 38 will be extended to that length)

Black Mark Mode. Marks on the paper set the form length.

Minimum one form length is always fed. If a black mark is found before that, the printer feeds to the next black mark, then cuts and ejects. This ensures that no small paper stripes are cut of and left in the printer.

NOTE! – Max page length in Fixed Document Mode is A5-size, which is 148.5 mm.

v=0 is suitable for Windows, v=1 for UNIX and Mac OS X, v=2 for DOS, and v=4 for Macintosh Classic

7.2 Aligning preprint and thermal print

The printer can synchronize the cutting of the printout with black-marks printed on the back of the paper. You use this function when you have preprint on the printout and you don't want a cut in the middle of that preprint, or text printed on top of the preprint.

Black-mark on back of paper

Black-mark and paper-out sensor

Figure 30. Black mark sensor

The sensor used to detect the black-marks is the same sensor as used for paper end detection. The sideways position depends on which paper guide is fitted. With 58 and 60 mm guides it is 22 mm to the left of the paper center, and with 80 and 82.5 mm guides, it is 30 mm to the right of the paper center. The distance from the sensor to the cutter is 25 mm. The sensor accuracy is about ±0.5 mm so avoid designing receipts with too high demands for synchronization.

The sensor triggers on the black-to-white transition of the black-mark, which is when the black print ends (trailing edge).

Since the same sensor is used for both paper end and black-mark detection, the printer must know the length of the black-mark to avoid signaling end-of-paper when it detects a black-mark. The default setting accepts black-marks in the range 3 –16 mm, and works perfectly with the recommended black-mark length of 5 mm. Marks shorter than 3 mm are interpreted as dirt, and marks longer than 16 mm as out-of-paper. You can change both these values by changing the printer default settings.

Black mark mode is selected by setting parameter 36 to 2, and storing the parameters.

NOTE! – It is essential that you store the parameters in the printer for black mark

synchronization even if you enable black marks in the Windows driver. This is because Windows is not used at paper loading, and feeding with the FF button on the printer.

7.3 Parameters used

7.3.1 Parameter n36 Document mode

Set to 2 to enables black mark check.

7.3.2 Parameters n37 and n38 - Page length minimum

Measure the distance from the trailing edge of one black mark to the trailing edge of the next. The resolution is 0.125 mm so multiply the distance by 8, then calculate the value to enter as n37 and n38.

Example: If the page length is 100mm,

(100 x 8) / 256 = 3.125. n37 is the integer value, that is 3, while n38 is the fraction, 0.125 x 256 = 32

7.3.3 Parameter n39 – Max Black Mark length

Measure the height of the black mark. The resolution is 0.125 mm so multiply the black mark length (in millimeters) by 8 and enter the value as n39.

7.3.4 Parameter n40 – Min Black Mark length (Garbage Filter)

This parameter is actually a filter to filter-out garbage on the paper. If a spot is smaller than this value, it will not be regarded as a black mark. 1. About ⅓ of the black mark length is usually a suitable setting.

Page 73

Page setup

72 TTP 2000 Kiosk Printer–Technical Manual 0602

GARBAGE, BLACK MARK AND OUT OF PAPER DETECTION

For every step the paper is feed, the black mark sensor is sampled to detect garbage, black marks or out of paper.

When the printer detects blackness is has to check if it is only garbage; if the paper gets white again within n40 x 0.125 mm, then it is garbage and the spot is ignored. If it is still black after n40 x 0.125 mm, it is probably a black mark.

If the paper gets white within an additional n39-n40 plus 5 mm then it is a Blackmark. The 5-mm is a constant added to make sure that noise on the edge not will interfere with the samples. If it at this point still is still black we have detected out of paper.

Be careful about n40 and n39. If n39 – n40 is to small, then the minimum detection area will be too little. This area should not be less than 2 mm.

7.3.5 Parameter n41 and n42 –Black mark cut offset

After the black mark is detected (black to white change) the printer feeds another distance to place the paper in cut position. This distance cannot be negative so placing the black mark too close to the paper edge is better than too far away.

FF (FORM FEED)

Use FF to print the buffer content, go to the next top of form (black mark), and cut the paper.

ESC Z (GO TO NEXT TOP OF FORM)

Use ESC Z to move the paper to the next top of form. This is practically a Form-Feed without printing and cut. It searches for the next black mark for maximum one page length + black mark length (256 x n37+n38 + n39)/8. An additional length of 20mm is added to be sure to pass the edge of the next black mark. If there is no black mark within the set distance plus 20 mm, an error is raised.

7.4 Black-mark sensing from within "Windows"

In Windows, the printer driver controls when the paper is cut and ejected. Settings in the driver override the default parameter settings in the printer.

The settings are available in the Windows

Printing

Preferences Menu

, in the Advanced Options window. The names of the options box differ between driver versions, but the same settings are available:

You set n36 to 2 by setting Page Type to Black Mark, and Black Mark Check: True.

You set n37, n38 by setting Paper Size. If no standard paper size is corresponds to the page length you have, create a new form with that length in the Windows "Printer Server Properties".

You set n39 by setting Maximum Black mark: to the length of the black mark on your paper

You set n40 by setting Minimum Blackmark: to the value you want for garbage filter

You set n41, n42 by setting Cut Position: to the length of transport that you want between black mark and cut.

HINT! – When everything is set up correctly and the printer p rints a s it should; print a page, then without switching the power off, send the store parameters command ESC & 04h to the printer (for example using the PRTMON.EXE program from

www.swecoin.se

. If you do this, parameters that the driver uses are stored in the printer as default parameters. This way the printer synchronizes on black mark also when yo u load paper, if you press the FF button, etc.

8 INTERFACE

The printer has one standard interface, and an optional serial interface. There are no selections to be made, but only one interface can be used at a time. The printer will not function properly if data is received on more than one interface at a time.

NOTE! — If you use the printer through a Windows driver, you need not read

the rest of this chapter.

8.1 Serial, TTP 2010

The RS-232 interface of the TTP 2010 printer has a transfer speed that can be set to between 2 400 and 115200 bits/s.

Applications where text-only printouts are to be printed are suitable for serial interface because of its easy to use bi-directional capability. The relatively low transfer speed limits the printing speed when printing graphics. Full-width graphics with 115 200 bits/s result in printing speeds of about 24 mm/s for the 80-mm version of the printer.

9.1 Fault finding

In connection with service of the printer it is good practice to remove paper dust and lint from the paper path, cutter and sensor areas. Paper dust, when accumulated, may interfere with printer functions such as optical sensors.

To avoid smudging the paper, do not apply oil on the cutting knife.

Symptom Suggested actions

Nothing is printed when you press the feed button in self-test mode, but the document is transported, cut and ejected.

• Check that the paper roll is turned the correct way with thermal sensitive layer facing up.

• Check that the paper used meets the paper

• Check that the printhead cable is fully inserted into the

connectors at each end.

Paper jam

• Check cutter-home sensor.

Printer does not work at all

• Check that the printhead is closed.

• Check that power is supplied to the printer.

• Check the function of the paper-out sensor.

Self-test prints OK, but the printer works strangely in normal operation.

• Check that both ends of the interface cable are properly connected.

• Application program might be incorrect. Contact system manager.

No cutting

• Check that the connector for the cutting motor is fully seated on the control board.

Bad cutting (uneven top and bottom document edges).

• Switch OFF printer and remove any obstructing paper particles in cutter and presenter modules.

Inconsistent cutter operation

• Check/clean cutter-home sensor.

Paper is fed straight through the printer. Paper does not loop.

• Check/clean presenter sensor.

• Check setting of parameter p9.

Missing print or irregular spots.

• Paper may be too humid. Let it adapt to ambient temperature and humidity for approximately 24 hours before use.

• The paper used might not meet the paper specification.

White longitudinal lines in the printout.

• Faulty print head, replace.

Faint print.

• The paper used might not meet the paper specification.

• Clean print head with ethyl or isopropyl alcohol.

• Adjust print contrast, see page 74.

Strange characters or graphics printed, or any kind of strange printer behavior.

• Might be caused by erroneous data sent from the host. Check validity of transferred data.

Maintenance

0602 TTP 2000 Kiosk Printer–Technical Manual 79

9.2 Cleaning the print head

The print head can be cleaned without removal.

1. Open the printhead.

2. Clean the heat elements with a cotton swab immersed in ethyl or isopropyl alcohol.

9.3 Firmware

The firmware is stored in flash-PROM on the control board. A replacement control board may not contain the same firmware version that you are currently using, so if you replace control board for some reason, upgrade it to the firmware version you want to use.

9.3.1 Loading

REMEMBER! – Always design your kiosk system so that remote upgrade of firmware is

possible. If you need to upgrade firmware in the future, the kiosks can be spread over a vast area and upgrade can become very expensi ve.

Fetch the firmware from the Swecoin web site http://www.swecoin.se. There you will also find a loader program (Windows™ software) facilitating the loading of the firmware into the printer.

The loader program contains a help file with detailed instructions on how to load the firmware into the printer.

In non-Windows environments, use the following procedure to load the firmware:

1. Send ESC NUL (1BH 00H) to the printer.

2. Wait 0.5 seconds.

3. Send the firmware file to the printer.

4. Wait until the printer buzzes to confirm that the loading is complete (the presenter motor runs for a second).

CAUTION! The loading and burning can take up to one minute. Do not abort before one minute by turning OFF the power to the printer. Doing so may leave the printer in a state where new firmware cannot be loaded.

10.7.3 Shelf type roll holder below, Ø150 mm rolls

This roll holder fits all paper widths, 58 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm, and 82.5 mm without adjustments, and it takes Ø150 mm rolls.

It has the quick fit fastening so you just connect the cables to the printer then slide it onto the roll holder. It also has additional holes so that you can attach the 75W PSU with straps, and fit an optional paper low sensor.

This makes it an ideal evaluation roll holder, which stands stable on your desktop, but also can be fastened into your kiosk and used in normal installations.
