• Country Code
As available frequency bands are different from country to country, be sure to set a country code before
installing a wireless LAN module in a user’s printer. Also, ask an end user to confirm a country code. Use
of a wireless LAN module with a wrong country code could violate each country’s Laws and Regulations for
Radio Equipment, and violators could be subject to penalties.
The country code cannot be changed through the Web browser, but TELNET.
<How to set a country code using TELNET>
CAUTION! The following information must not be disclosed to users. (Internal use only)
(1) Disconnect the LAN cable connected to the printer, connect the printer to a host PC with a straight
LAN cable via a relay connector.
When using a hub in place of a relay connector, use a cross cable or
(2) Open the MS-DOS prompt, type in “telnet 192.168.10.21” (default IP address).
(3) Enter a password to log in. (Password: tecbcp)
(4) From the top menu, change a country code using the following command.
=>ctry XX (XX=new country code. See Country Code Table.)
(5) The new country code will become effective by turning the printer off and on again.
(6) A country code can be checked by typing “=>ctry” on the telnet console.

5. 300 dpi Print Head Kit: B-SA704-TPH3-QM-R
B-SA704-TPH3-QM-R is an optional 300 dpi print head kit for the B-SA4TM/SA4TP-GS12 Series (203dpi
printer).
You will obtain the same print quality as the TS12 model (300 dpi) only by replacing the current print head
with this optional kit.
The pictures used in this section are those of the B-SA4TM, however, the installation procedure is common
with the B-SA4TP.
Do not touch the print head or its neighboring parts immediately after printing, or you may burn

1. Be sure to load the battery and set the low battery check function to ON whenever the real time clock is used.
If the battery is not loaded or the battery voltage is low, the real time clock data is erased at the power off time.
2. When the low battery check function is set to ON and if the battery voltage is 2.4V or less, the printer will
result in a “LOW BATTERY” error and stop at the power on time. In that case, hold down the [RESTART] key
to restore to “<1>RESET” display.
3. When “LOW BATTERY” error has occurred, contact the nearest TOSHIBA TEC service representative for
replacement of the battery.
4. If you would like to keep using the same battery even after “LOW BATTERY” error occurs, set the Low battery
check function to OFF, and set the date and time to the real time. As long as the power is on, the Real Time
Clock will function. However, once the power is turned off, the date and time will be reset. Then, please ask
for the battery replacement.

This optional device is intended for adding the RFID tag read/write function to the B-SA4TM and B-SA4TP series.
1. Follow all manual instructions. Failure to do so could create safety hazards such as fire or electrocution.
• Manual instructions must be followed when installing option kits or adding cables to avoid system
failures and to insure proper performance and operation.
• Failure to follow manual instructions or any unauthorized modifications, substitution or change to this
product will void the limited product warranty.
2. Turn the power OFF and disconnect the power cord before installing the RFID module.
3. Be careful not to pinch your fingers or hands with the covers.
4. The print head and stepping motor becomes very hot immediately after printing. Do not touch the print
head, stepping motor and around it right after printing, or you may get burned.
5. When opening the top cover, it must be fully opened. Failure to do this may cause the top cover to close
under its own weight, resulting in an injury.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to damage the pattern of the Antenna Ass’y or peel off the Shield Sheet. Damaged pattern or
removed Sheild Sheet may affect the ability to read or write RFID tags.

Please follow the steps below to install the RFID kit, configure various settings, and try data write onto tags.
(1) Install the RFID kit. (Refer to this section.)
(2) Set an RFID module type, tag type, etc. in the printer system mode. (Refer to this section or section 2.9
of system mode manual.)
(3) In the printer system mode, perform a read test to confirm the printer acknowledges the RFID module.
(Refer to section 2.9 of system mode manual.)

having retried for the max. times, the printer stops, resulting in an error.

Set the Q value to “1” or greater (2 is recommended.) with the [FEED] or [RESTART] key.
Q value “0” causes the tags to interfere with each other and disables proper data write.
When a Q value is set, set an AGC threshold for data write and an AGC threshold lo we

• AGC Threshold Setting
The B-SA704-RFID-U2-EU-R chooses a tag to write data on according to a radio intensity of RFID tags (AGC
value).
An AGC threshold value has been set to 11 (0Bh) as factory default, but it may be necessary to change this value
according to the tag type to be used.
When the factory default threshold value is not proper for the tag type used, follow the procedure below to
configure the following settings.
As the changes are stored in the internal memory, they are retained after the printer power is turned off and on
again. When the tag type is changed or data write cannot be operated properly, perform the setting again.
Step 1. Load an RFID tag embedded media in the printer.
Step 2. Follow the procedure below to measure the radio intensity of the tags.
1) Place the media so that an RFID tag (IC chip) is positioned above the Antenna, and close the Top
Cover.
Note: If an RFID tag is not positioned above the Antenna while the Print Head is at a print start position,
use @003 command to adjust the media position so that an RFID tag is positioned above the
Antenna. For detail of the command, refer to the External Equipment Interface Specification
(Printer Command Manual).
2） Start the printer in the system mode and perform a read test to measure the AGC value.
