1.1 PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS

1. OUTLINE

1.1 PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS

1) Various bar codes, characters and graphic data can be printed using both thermal transfer and thermal direct methods. This printer can also print writable characters and logos at designated coordinates by using a graphic command.

2) The Centronics and RS-232C are available as standard interfaces between the printer and a PC. In addition, optional interfaces such as PCMCIA interface, USB interface, LAN interface and Wireless LAN interface are available. The expansion I/O interface, which is an option for the B-SX4T series, is provided on the B-SX5T series as standard.

3) A 32-bit CPU and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) equipped with several peripheral LSIs realizes high system performance.

4) With the element positioned at the edge of the print head, print quality is improved because the media passes straight through.

5) The B-SX4T series accommodates a max. format size of 104.0 mm wide by 1498.0 mm long and a max. printing speed of 10”/sec.

The B-SX5T series accommodates a max. format size of 128.0 mm wide by 1498.0 mm long and a

max. printing speed of 8”/sec.

6) High throughput can be obtained with “on-the-fly” formatting.

7) Installation space is minimized because the media is loaded internally.

8) The metal cover and damper provide a heavy-duty enclosure.

9) Various optional devices, including the Strip module including the rewinder, the ribbon saving module which economizes ribbon usage, rotary cutter module, swing cutter module, RFID module, wireless LAN module and are available.

The strip module and the ribbon saving module are standard on the B-SX5T series.

NOTE: Every size is written in millimeter (mm) in this manual. To obtain the size in inch, divide by 25.4.

 XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3) protocol

• When initialized after power on, this printer becomes ready to receive data and sends an XON code (11H). (Transmission or non-transmission of XON code is selectable by means of the parameter setting.)

• The printer sends an XOFF code (13H) when the free area in the receive buffer becomes 10K Bytes or less.

• The printer sends an XON code (11H) when the free area in the receive buffer are 512KB or more.

• When there is no free area in the receive buffer, the printer discards received data which exceeds the receive buffer capacity without storing it in the buffer. (After detecting the XOFF code, the host computer must stop transmission before the printer receive buffer becomes full.)

• The printer sends an XOFF code (13H) at power off time. (Transmission or non-transmission of XOFF code is selectable with the parameter setting.)

• The DTR signal is always “High” level (Ready).

• The RTS signal is always “High” level (Ready).

 READY/BUSY (DTR) protocol

• When initialized after power on, this printer becomes ready to receive data and converts the DTR signal to "High" level (READY).

• The printer converts the DTR signal to "Low" level (BUSY) when the free area in the receive buffer amount to 10K bytes or less.

• The printer converts the DTR signal to "High" level (READY) when the free area in the receive buffer amount to 512KB or more.

• When there is no free area in the receive buffer, the printer discards received data which exceeds the receive buffer capacity without storing it in the buffer. (After detecting a BUSY signal, the host computer must stop transmission before the printer receive buffer becomes full.)

• The RTS signal is always “High” level.

• The DTR signal is always “High” level (READY).

• The host should keep the DSR signal “High” level.

NOTE: Be sure to select the READY/BUSY (RTS) protocol when controlling the flow between

the Windows. Also, be sure to select “Hardware” for the flow control in the Windows communication port setting.

Data line from which the printer sends data to the host (send data line). Logic “1” is “low”, and “0” is “High”. It is LOW (MARK) while no data is being sent.

Output signal to the host. When READ/BUSY (RTS) protocol is selected, this signal means READY to receive data. When the receive buffer is nearly full, the signal turns to “Low”, and “High” when nearly empty. In case of other protocol is selected, this signal is always “High” level after the power is turned on.

Output signal from the printer. When READY/BUSY (DTR) or XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3)+READY/BUSY (DTR) is selected, this signal means READY to receive data. When the receive buffer is nearly full, the signal turns to “Low”, and “High” when nearly eimpty. In case of XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3) or READY/BUSY (RTS), this signal is always “High” level after the power is turned on.

Input signal from the host. It must be “High” for the printer to receive data.

4) Sensor/switch (1) Head up sensor (Transmissive sensor)

This sensor, located on the left front of the printer inside as viewed from the media outlet, detects whether the print head is in position or not. When the head lever is turned to the Free position, the arm on the edge of the head lever shaft turns the sensor on.

(2) Head block position switch (Transmissive sensor) This sensor, located on the left side of the print head block, detects whether the print head

block is in position or not. According to the position of the print head block, the arm on it turns the sensor on/off.

(3) Media sensor

This sensor is comprised of the black mark sensor and feed gap sensor. It is positioned 92.1 mm from the platen. The sensor position is adjustable according to the black mark position. It can be manually moved from the center to the left edge of media.

 Black mark sensor (Reflective sensor)

This sensor detects the difference of potential between the black mark and tag paper to find the print position of the tag paper.

(5) Slit sensor (Transmissive sensor)

This sensor detects the rotation count of the ribbon shaft and the ribbon motors. The ribbon motors torque works to take up slack in the ribbon and is dependent on the detected count. The slit sensor is a photo coupler combining an LED and a transistor.

2. SUPPLY SPECIFICATIONS

Information regarding the supply specifications contained in Product Description is essential to service engineers. Detail specifications and other information on the media and ribbon are described in Supply Manual by model. It is issued by and sent from TOSHIBA TEC H.Q (Sales Division) upon release of new model or manual's revision. When purchasing the supplies locally, be sure to refer to the Supply Manual for details. Use of non-specified media may shorten the print head life and result in problems with bar code readability or print quality. Be sure to read carefully and understand the Supply Manual since it also includes the details about notes, precision of the print start position, limitations on printing, etc. When selling the products to VARs, instruct them to buy media and ribbons that the substances described in the following precautions are not included

2.1 MEDIA

NOTES:

1. To ensure print quality and print head life use only TOSHIBA TEC specified media.

2. The media length specifications for use of the cutter are: *1: When issuing a label using the swing cutter, label length should be 35.0 mm – (Gap length/2). *2: The rotary cutter does not support the print speed of 10”/sec.

3. When marking black marks on the label rolls, they should be marked at the gaps.

4. “On the fly issue” means that the printer can feed and print without stopping between labels.

5. There are restrictions in use of the media which is narrower than 50 mm. For details, refer to TOSHIBA TEC Head Quarters.

6. When perforating the media, it should be done from the print side to the reverse side.

7. The reflectance of the black mark should be 10% or less when the wavelength is 950nm.

8. The label length should be at least three times as long as the gap.

9. When taking up the printed media onto the take-up spool in batch mode, the outer roll diameter must not exceed 180mm.

10. When cutting the thermal label, secure a gap of 6 mm or more, and cut in the middle of the gap.

11. For the backing paper Glassine paper 7K white or equivalent should be used. Also, the light transmission rate of the backing paper should be 22% or above.

12. Ink used for pre-printing the media should not contain hard substances such as carbonic calcium (CaCO

13. Thermal paper used for the direct thermal printing must not have the specifications which exceed Ca K

14. Avoid using media containing SiO

) and Kaolin (Al2O3, 2SiO2, 2H2O).
