1.7 Cautions for Installation (IMPORTANT)

Please be sure to read the following cautions before using this product.
When you are going to install an upgraded version of the TEC printer driver, you must first uninstall the
older version in advance. For how to uninstall the printer driver, refer to Section 2.10 Uninstalling the Printer Driver.
Failure to do so may cause unstable printing operations due to the influences of the files and registry related to the old version remaining in the system. Follow the procedure in Section 2.10 Uninstalling the Printer Driver, and the files and registry related to the printer driver will be deleted from the system.
Note: • This printer driver uses common program for the all applicable printer models.
• Even if the printer model is different, TPCL printer driver of different version cannot be used on the same PC.
• When installing TPCL printer driver for a new model on the PC in which the TPCL printer driver of different version for another printer model has been already installed, the existing printer driver needs to be deleted.
When you are asked to select “Network” or “Local” in the Add Printer Wizard during the installation of the
printer driver, be sure to choose “Local”. Even when the printer will be used as a network printer, first install the printer driver as a local printer, then specify a network path for the printer port later.
- 4 -
Specifying a network path for the printer port
1. Right-click the printer icon and select the [Properties].
Select the [Ports] tab in the Properties screen and click the [Add Port] button.
2. Select the “Local Port” and click the [New Port]
button.
3. Enter a port name.
Port name: \\Printer server name\<shared name>.
Note: The “printer server name” is a computer name to
which the shared printer is connected. The “shared name” is the name of the shared
.

Be sure to set the [Printer Status Monitoring] as shown in the table below. The status monitor has been
disabled as default. Wrong setting disables proper printing.
Configuration for the Status Monitor
When the [Printer Status Monitoring] is set to other than “Disabled”, it is possible to monitor the printer status from the host computer. When this feature is not supported or is unnecessary, choose the “Disabled” for the [Printer Status Monitoring]. Doing so reduces the load on the printer driver and increases the print efficiency.

Notes:
1. When RS-232C (Serial interface) is used for connection, it will take time until printing starts. It is recommended to use other interfaces as far as possible.
- 6 -
2. Whenever the “CENTRO. MODE” is set to “ECP” in the printer system mode, be sure to set the “PLUG & PLAY” to ON. And, whenever the “CENTRO. MODE” is set to “SPP”, be sure to set the “PLUG & PLAY” to OFF. (The “CENTRO. MODE” and “PLUG & PLAY” have been set to “SPP” and “OFF” as the factory default settings, respectively.
To enable the bi-directional communication, be sure to set the “CENTRO. MODE” to “ECP” and “PLUG & PLAY” to
“ON”.
For details of the printer parameter setting, refer to Section 6.2 Parameter Setting on the Printer.
If printing is performed with the status monitor enabled though this feature is not available or not necessary,
delete the print job and disable the [Printer Status Monitoring].
If you start the status monitor by mistake, close the status monitor and disable the [Printer Status
Monitoring].
When the status monitor is used to monitor the printer statuses, do not install more than one printer driver
specifying the same output port in one host PC. When more than one printer driver is installed in a PC, disable the [Printer Status Monitoring]. Also, when multiple computers connect to the same printer, specify that printer as the shared printer or disable the [Printer Status Monitoring.
When using this product for the B-419 printer, select the
standard COM port for the output port. Also, place the B-419 printer in the “high speed graphic mode” and configure the port settings as shown below. For how to set the printer mode, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the printer.

When Kanji characters are used as bar code font data,
click the [Tool] tab – [Configure] button – [Printer Options], and select the “ESC/LF/NUL” for the “Control Codes” of the “Command Protocol”.
Bar code font types that accept Kanji data:
PDF417, MicroPDF417, Data Matrix, Maxicode, QR code
The default setting of the “Control Codes” is
“Standard”. Be sure to change this setting when you print Kanji characters as bar code data, otherwise an error results.
- 7 -
The default setting of the function character is a
caret “^” (5EH). When using bar code fonts like QR code and if you want to specify a function character as bar code data, you need to specify two function characters consecutively.
For example, when a caret “^” is used as the function character, enter “^ ^” as bar code data.
Click the [Page Setup] tab, [Advanced Options]
button, and specify the Function Character.
This is used when binary data is specified as bar
code data.
When installing the printer driver via USB with “Plug
& Play” enabled, the messages like “Insert Disk” and “Files Needed” dialog boxes may be displayed. In this case, click the [OK] button in the “Insert Disk” dialog box, and specify the folder (C:\TEC_DRV) for the “Files Needed” dialog box.

When using this product for the B-SP2D, B-EP2DL-G or B-EP4DL-G, set the printer mode to “TPCL-LE”,
“TPCL-LE1”, “TPCL”, or “TPCL1” by using the Printer Setting Tool or the keys on the printer. For the key operations, refer to the B-EP Series Key Operation Specification.
When a device font is used, the actual print result looks different from the print preview. Print the label
format, and check and adjust the label format.
RFID fonts are not supported. The stock sizes, A4, A5, and A6, shown in this product do not define the paper size in DEVMODE
(DMPAPER_A4, DMPAPER_A5, and DMPAPER_A6). They are the stock IDs unique to this product. The following table shows the stock IDs for the standard stock types registered to the printer driver.
When a new stock type is additionally registered, an ID will be assigned in the order of registration, starting from 257. The stock ID can be changed on the Edit Stock screen. Use these IDs when specifying or checking a stock size of dmPaperSize.

Current Old
Stock ID
ATTENTION: The IDs for the standard stock types have been totally changed from Version
7.2 M-2, which causes mismatching in the IDs between the older printe driver and the new printer driver. Therefore, when printing is performed from the application which manages the stock types for Excel, Access, etc. by their IDs assigned by the older printer driver version, a wrong stock ma be selected. In this case, change the stock IDs back to the former ones using the following procedure.
(1) For the user-added stocks, import the settings of the previous printe
driver to the new printer driver. (User-added stocks are imported with their original IDs.)
(2) For the standard stock types, the stock IDs registered to the new printe
driver are unchangeable. So, select the standard stock type, click on the [New], and save it as a new stock assigning the former ID listed the table on the left.
The stock list is sorted by ascending order of stock name (Symbol, number, alphabet, Kana, and Kanji), regardless of the stock ID.
In the case an export file of the previous version is imported, the preset paper settings may be reset.
After importing the preset settings, check the settings.
When Access2007 is used, some paper names may not be correctly shown. To set the paper names,
click the [Page Setup] and open the “Edit Stock” dialog.
When the LPT or COM port configuration is changed under Windows Vista/Server2008, conduct it with
administrative privilege.
When the port configuration is changed under
Windows Vista/Server2008, the dialog box on the right may be displayed. In this case, change the port configuration with administrative privilege.

Bitmap fonts cannot be used for Access. When
using Access, remove the check from the “List Bitmap Font” checkbox in the “Font Settings” dialog.
Do not install other Seagull Scientific printer drivers in the PC where this product has been installed. If
you installed any by mistake, uninstall the all printer drivers by the DriverWizard, then reinstall this product only.
When printing is performed from an application
created by Active Reports, open the Properties, click the [Advanced] tab, and remove the check from the “Enable advanced printing features” checkbox.
When data with a large number of digits is encoded
into a bar code (or 2D code), and if that bar code cannot be printed within a page width, such data will be invalid. When you use data with a large number of digits, click the [Fonts] tab, select the bar code font, click the [Font] button and the [Edit], then, check the “Join Multiple Lines” checkbox. When this checkbox is checked, every data specifying the same font will be incorporated into one bar code. If you want to print more than one bar code of the same font with this feature enabled, register required number of bar code fonts.
Example: When you want to print three Code128
symbols in a page with the “Join Multiple Lines” enabled, register three Code128 bar code fonts and specify
one to one: Barfont Code128-1 Barfont Code128-2 Barfont Code128-3
- 10 -
If data including a space at the beginning or at the
end is printed in bar code font, such space is deleted from the data. Multiple data with the same Y-coordinate and same bar code font specified are all connected. To avoid this, click the [Fonts] tab and [Tools] button, select the “Font Settings”, click the [Utility Fonts] tab, then remove the check from the “Combine Adjacent Bar Code & RFID Fields” checkbox.
In the case more than one print job is continuously
printed, these jobs may not be printed in the order displayed in the print queue. To avoid this, check the checkbox of “Print spooled documents first.”
When the OS is Windows Vista or Windows7,
changing the printer name with “Enable bi-directional support” unchecked may cause the setup information to be non-editable. In this case, check the “Enable bidirectional support” checkbox and click the [OK] button. Then, open the same screen again and remove the check from the “Enable bidirectional support” checkbox. It is possible to save the setup information by temporarily enabling the bi-directional support after changing the printer name.
