Product Presentation

The TTP 2100 series of ticket printers are available both for kiosk integration and desktop use.

They print on most ticket media from 50 mm to 82.5 mm wide using direct thermal printing, The ticket media can be up to 0.25 mm thick, fanfold, roll, or single cut handfed.

The printers have integrated guillotine cutter, straight presenter, and control board. The print speed is 150 mm per second, and the eject speed 300 mm/s to ensure high throughput.

The cut can be synchronized with :

• Gaps between tickets, or punched holes

• Black-marks on the non thermal side of the ticket stock

• Foil opacity (for labels on opaque foil backing)

• Ticket corner radius

You can also print fixed- or variable-length tickets without synchronization. The presenter can be set to eject the ticket into a tray or hold it by the back edge until the customer takes it. The top can easily be opened to give the operator access to the paper path, and print head, for maintenance purposes.

Figure 1 • Principle of Operation

The printer is available with two different control boards; the TTP 2110 with serial interface and the TTP 2130 with USB interface.

Printer drivers for Microsoft Windows™ and Linux are available, and the printer is compatible with the Plug and Play standard.

The extensive text capability makes it easy to print directly from the ticket software without using a driver. This is especially useful for the serial interface version with its limited data transfer rate.

Presenter

The straight presenter takes care of the ticket after it is printed and cut.

The ticket is ejected after being cut. The printer is designed so that the ticket always drops down. A sensor is located outside the grip-point of the presenter roller to ensure that the sensor can verify that the ticket drops down. To get this functionality you set “Clear presenter after print” in the driver printing preferences.

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. If one customer should have several tickets, the printer can detect when he takes one ticket and directly print the next and hold that one until he takes it, and so on.

Installation

Top of Form (TOF) Sensor

The TTP 2100 has a flexible top of form detection system. When delivered the printer is configured with fork sensor to detect holes / gaps between tickets. The holes / gaps should be in the paper center, 12.5 mm to the right of the center (according to IATA resolution 740) or at the edge of 82.5 mm wide tickets (Boarding cards).

If the TOF mark is at a suitable position, an auto calibration routine will configure everything for you.

You can move the sensor to other positions, force the printer to use a specific sensor, switch to reflex sensor for black-mark detection by setting up the parameters in the printer.

Selecting Fork or Reflex TOF Sensor

The TTP 2100 can use a fork sensor that looks for holes between tickets, or a reflex sensor that looks for black-marks on the back of the ticket stock. Sensor mode is selected with parameter

n61, see Summary of Parameter Settings on page 85.

Positioning the TOF Sensor

The sensor board sits on a bracket that can slide left/right in a grove. When delivered the bracket is positioned to the very right. In this position Sensor 1 is at the right side ready to detect the corner radius of Boarding cards, Sensor 2 is at the very center of the page and sensor 4 is 12.5 mm to the right of the center at the position determined for baggage tags in IATA resolution 740. To configure the printer for other papers that do not fall into any of the three categories do as follows:

1. Loosen the screw holding the sensor 1 ½ turn.

2. Press the screw in with the screwdriver and carefully slide it to the new position making

sure the cables to the sensor does not obstruct the movement.

3. Tighten the screw.

4. Move the light source to the same position, right above the sensor.

Note • The standard ticket guides have holes for the following sensor positions: Center,

Edge, and 12.5 mm from center, and the sensor position must correspond to these holes.

P1003640-001 TTP2100 Technical Manual 10/22/2008

Calibrating the TOF Sensor

1. Open the printhead.

2. Remove ticket stock.

3. Hold the Feed button pressed and close the printhead (keeping the button pressed all the

time).

4. Release the button, the Status LED should be off.

5. Load ticket stock (just slide into the slot and let the printer auto load the paper).

Note • To ensure good calibration conditions, lightly press the ticket stock towards the

bottom of the input guide during calibration.

The printer will forward the paper until it finds two TOF marks and then stop and save all TOF-mark parameters

6. Now open the printhead and remove the ticket stock, close and feed the tickets in again

and the printer is ready for use.

Installation Considerations

The TTP 2100 Kiosk is for embedded applications and should be installed in an enclosure such as a self-service kiosk.

Caution • NEVER use screws that go into the printer more than 4 mm! Longer screws will

destroy the electronics inside.

The “TTP 2100 Desktop” is a stand alone printer in a housing. The housings can be stacked so two or more printers can reside on top of each other to save space.

Orientation

The TTP 2100 can be installed at any angle. Horizontal is the most common use but vertical with the ticket presenting upwards can be used if you want the ticket to come up from the desk surface. Vertical with the ticket presented downwards can be used if you want to stack many tickets before picking them up.

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.

Note • We recommend you to make the output slot 97 mm wide. This way you will be able to

use all paper widths that the TTP 2100 series of printers can handle.

Caution • NEVER use screws that go into the printer more than 4 mm! This will destroy the

electronics inside.

Earth Screw

Installation Considerations

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. A threaded hole for an M4 earth screw is provided on the back of the printer. Use an M4 x 10 screw and two lock washers when fastening the ground cable.

Figure 8 • Locatoin of Earth Grounding Screw

Note • An optional antistatic brush can be fitted to the front of the printer if required.

Ambient Light

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

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

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

Text Oriented

Programming

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 23, Printout Styles, on page 44. You can switch between these

cursors at any time; the cursor will retain its last position on the ticket.

Driver Oriented

All TTP 2100 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.

Programming

Software command syntax

The commands in this section are grouped after what they do, and these groups are sorted in a theoretical usage sequence. It starts with commands for specifying the printed page — through text-and-graphics commands — to cut-and-present commands. System and status commands are presented at the end.

Black-mark (Top-of-Form) Commands

See also Aligning Preprint and Thermal Print on page 101.

ESC #

1B 23 Hex 27 35 decimal

In Variable and fixed page modes the calibration measures the out of paper level and the

whiteness of the paper, and stores these values in parameter n51 and n58.

In black mark mode it also determines if it should trigger on black-marks or holes, then

measures the contrast and distances, then sets parameters n37 -n40, n51, n57 bit 3, n58, n61, and n62 to suitable values for the analyzed ticket.

Calibrate TOF Sensor

To make the calibration permanent, send ESC & 4h, store parameter values. See also Simple Calibration Process on page 102

Note • If black-mark calibrations fails, the printer will indicate error code 11 by blinking 11

times when you hold the FF button pressed, and by answering NAK 0Bh to the status enquiry.

Note • The printer must not be in self-test mode when calibrating.

ESC Z

1B 5A Hex 27 90 Decimal

In black mark mode, an ESC Z starts looking for a black mark at the current position and continues for one page length. If no black mark is found, bit 3 in status byte 1 is set to 1 and the printer will report NAK 0A on the next status query.

When black-mark mode is disabled, ESC Z will perform a form feed.

Text Commands

Go to next Top of Form

Text received by the printer is printed with the currently selected font and font attributes. Text exceeding the page width is wrapped with the line spacing selected.

Text and Logotype Orientation

Changes the orientation of text and logotypes.

n = 0 Gives portrait orientation

n = 1 Gives landscape orientation

Portrait and landscape can be mixed on the same printout. There are two cursors, one for portrait and one for landscape. The cursor always starts at the top left corner of the document. Looking at the paper when it exits the printer, the portrait cursor is at the top left corner of the printout, moving to the right as text is typed, while the landscape cursor is at the top right corner, moving downwards.

Note • Landscape orientation can only be used with Fixed Document Mode.

Align Text

Changes the alignment of text and logotypes on the current line; on subsequent lines, it defaults back to Left align.

ESC ! n1

1B 21 n1 hex 27 33 n1 decimal

ESC N 0 Left ESC N 1 Center ESC N 2 Right

Select Font

This command selects one of eight fonts. The font design depends on which fonts have been loaded into the printer. Make a test printout to see which fonts are available in your printer.

ESC ! 0 selects normal font (font 0) ESC ! 4 selects font 4 ESC ! 1 selects font 1 ESC ! 5 selects font 5 ESC ! 2 selects font 2 ESC ! 6 selects font 6 ESC ! 3 selects font 3 ESC ! 7 selects font 7

Lines, too long to be printed in the selected font, are automatically wrapped around.

Different fonts can be used on the same line.

n = 1 Turns ON Italics

Reversed/Inversed Text

Selects normal or reversed print.

Single words, characters, or complete text lines can be reversed.

n = 0 Gives normal print, black on white

n = 1 Gives reversed print, white on black

Note • Reverse text and underline XOR's the background with the foreground. This means

that the order in which the commands are issued affect the printout if one text overlaps another.

ESC u n1

1B 75 n1 hex

27 117 n1 decimal

Characters, single words, or complete text lines can be underlined.

n = 0 Turns OFF underline

n = 1 Turns ON a 1 pixel wide underline

n = 2 Turns ON a 2 pixel wide underline, etc. up to n=7.

Backspace

Moves the print-position one step to the left. Backspace can be used to combine characters. For instance to print a Ø, send text commands O BS / to the printer, and the slash will overprint the O.

Only one backspace can be used at a time. Excessive backspaces will be ignored.



Cancel

Cancels text and attributes sent before the CAN command on the same line. Commands are not cancelled.

Carriage Return

By default, carriage return is ignored. By changing the default settings, you can:

• Interpret it as CR which returns print position to beginning of line without line feed.

• Interpret CR as CR/LF which inserts line space as specified by the line spacing setting

(see parameter p13), and returns the print position to beginning of the line.

See CR on page 52.

Linefeed is interpreted as CR/LF by default. This inserts line spaces as specified by the line spacing setting (see parameter p13), and returns the print position to beginning of the line. LF also converts text from the input buffer to pixel lines and stores them in the line buffer, ready to be printed.

By changing the default settings, you can:

• Interpret LF as Linefeed. This inserts line space as specified by the line spacing setting

(see parameter p13), without returning the print position to the beginning of the line.

• Ignore LF.

Make n Linefeeds

Executes the number of linefeeds as defined by variable n1. The length of each line feed is

determined by the default value for selected font (see parameter 13 on page 89).

The print position is returned to the beginning of the line. Any text on the line is lost. To avoid losing text, send an LF before sending ESC d n.



Form Feed

Prints data from the input buffer and feeds the paper to the top of the next page.

In fixed document length (FORM-mode) this command prints data in the input buffer and feeds the paper to the top of next page.

In variable document length mode FF advances to the minimum page length. If the printout already is longer than the minimum page length, FF does not feed the paper at all.

In black-mark mode, the FF command looks for a black-mark, see ESC Z. If "Auto cut" is set to 1 (see Auto Cut After FF on page 90), FF effects form-feed, cut, and

eject.

Note • Use parameter p37 and p38 to define page length.

See also Status Reporting on page 81.

Note • All status commands except for the acknowledge marker are immediate. That is they

pass the print queue and are answered directly.

Status-codes are reset:

1. When the conditions causing them are removed.

2. When the printer is turned off/on or a reset command is received.

3. When the printhead is lifted and then lowered.

Status Enquiry

A status enquiry results in response ACK (06h) if all sensors are clear, but NAK (15h) + code if one or more sensors report some condition.

Status Code Meaning

ACK OK (printer is operable)

NAK 01h Paper left in presenter module. Attempt to clear the paper path failed.

NAK 02h Cutter jammed

NAK 03h Out of paper

NAK 04h Printhead lifted

NAK 05h Paper-feed error. No paper detected in presenter although 10 cm has

been printed. Paper might be wound around the platen or, in some way, has been forced above the presenter module.

NAK 06h Temperature error. The printhead temperature has exceeded the 60 °C

Programming

Software command syntax

Status Code Meaning

NAK 11h Paused (ex. To avoid overheating of stepper motors)

NAK FFh Undefined error

Note • Errors 02h, 05h, and FFh are terminal faults that require you to reset the printer before

it will be operable again. A reset means that any data in the buffer is lost. The printer automatically recovers from the other conditions as soon as the condition is corrected, without data loss.

A status enquiry command can only return one status code at a time. If there are two or more simultaneous conditions, each condition should be cleared and the status enquiry repeated in order to get a complete report of all status codes.

Paper-near-End Enquiry

This command requests a paper-near-end sensor (paper low) status from the printer in a 1-byte format.

Value = (01h) indicates “No paper”

Value = (00h) indicates “Paper present” at the sensor position

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 ESC ENQ 6 and extract the paper-near-end bit.

Parameter-Setting Data Enquiry

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

n1= 1 gives the setting of parameter 1, etc. The parameter names are listed under

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 •

has been performed.

Note • You must wait for the acknowledge marker to return before sending any more data to

the printer.

Note • 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.

P1003640-001 TTP2100 Technical Manual 10/22/2008

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 Font Selection on page 89).

Programming

Font Loading

You cannot erase a single font, but must erase font 4-7 with command ESC & D fonts with ESC & C, then reload the fonts you wanted to keep.

Windows software for font generation and management is available on the Zebra 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.

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.

Programming

Font Loading

Character Bitmap Data

A character is made up of a bitmap the size of which is:

Char. width (X) * Char. Height (Y) bytes.

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:

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

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

P1003640-001 TTP2100 Technical Manual 10/22/2008

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

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.

Windows software that converts black and white BMP bitmap files to logotypes and load them into the printer is available on the Zebra web site. If you need to load logotypes in a nonWindows 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.

Erasing

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-page-length mode where logotypes are always printed at the current Y-position.

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.

Programming

Status Reporting

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) 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), and take appropriate actions.

3. Send a paper-near-end query (ESC ENQ 2) 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 • A status reply must be read! Sending a second status query without reading the reply

of the first query may lock the printer.

Note • 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 • 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.

Default Parameter Settings

Some of the printer settings can be stored in an EEPROM 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 & Pnv.

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 to store all settings in the EEPROM.

You can always return to factory default settings by sending ESC&F, and then storing those settings with ESC&4h

Note • The parameters can be locked so that no changes are possible. Check parameter 53 on

the self-test printout to find out.

Note • If you try to set a parameter to an invalid value, the parameter will be set to the nearest

valid value below.

Burn Time

DRV

A long burn time gives darker print. On insensitive paper types you may have to increase the burn time to get an acceptable print quality.

Note • Settings below 15 result in printer chassis resonance causing increased noise and

deteriorated print quality.

Printhead Pulse Control

The line spacing is normally set by the font height. With this parameter you can set a line spacing that is higher that the font height. Line spacing settings lower than the font height will be ignored.

<ESC>&P<013><030> 30 pixels or font height, whichever is the largest

Font Selection

Store which font number is used if no font is specified. Font is selected using the "Select Font " command ESC ! n. Selecting an invalid font gives a software error status message (invalid index).

Tab Stop

Stores 16 different TAB stop positions. The position is set in increments of 2.5-mm.

0Default

0 Min 4Max

Tab position 255 sets a tab stop on the last position of the line. Use this if you want underline or reversed text to extend across the full paper width.

To set all tab stops at once, follow the procedure Set Several Parameters at Once on page 67.

To move a single tab stop, use the set parameter command <ESC>&P. for example:

Example • This example sets the first tab stop 25 mm from the left margin.

Default positions are one TAB on each cm; that is parameter values 4, 8, 12 etc.

CR/LF Behavior

Carriage Return and Line Feed can be interpreted in five different ways to suit different operating systems.

Note • The character currently interpreted as LF converts text from the input buffer to pixels

on the paper. If no such character has been received after 379 characters, a linefeed is inserted automatically.

• If set to zero, only the BM level n51, and out of paper level n58 will be set.

Document Mode

Determines what should control the page length:

<ESC>&P<036><000> 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

<ESC>&P<036><001> 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)

Note • Max page length in Fixed Document Mode is A5-size, which is 148.5 mm.

Page Length

DRV

Defines three different things:

1. The minimum length of a page in variable document mode

2. The actual page length in fixed document mode

3. The distance between black-marks in black-mark mode

Fixed Document Mode

21” <016> <171>

Max fixed document mode page length is depends of the amount of free ram. Make a self-test

printout to check how much is available in your printer. (Depends on firmware version).

Paper length, top, and bottom margins are in pixel lines. Paper width is in bytes or mm. (1 byte = 1 mm.).

Example • If Free RAM on a TTP 2100 is 114627 bytes, print width is 80 mm = 80 bytes, top

margin is 20 mm, and bottom margin 10 mm (20 x 8 =160 and 10 x 8 = 80 pixel lines).

If a too large fixed page is specified the printout will be blank from memory full to the cut.

BM (Black-Mark) Length

DRV

Specifies the length of the black-mark in 0.125-mm steps. Measure the length of the blackmark on your paper and enter that value here.

0.125 mm steps. The top margin feed is effectuated when the presenter is cleared from the previous page.

0 Disabled top margin. This gives the physical top margin of the printer, which is

9 mm.

Settings that give a shorter margin than 9 mm will be extended to 9 mm so this parameter can only be used to extend the margin, not reduce it.

Cut Position Calibration



Calibrates the cut position. The value is a signed byte.

A change of 1 moves the cut 1/8 of a mm more than normal. A change of –1 moves the cut 1/8 of a mm less than normal. -1 is entered as 256-1=255

The positive range is 1-127. The negative range is 128-256

This parameter can be individually set for each printer and is not affected by the driver or reset commands. It is used to compensate for differences in sensor position in production. After moving or replacing the TOF-sensor, the calibration may have to be done again.

Note • The cut is not 100% repetitive because the paper may be closer to the sensor for one

ticket than it is for the next. So do not expect a perfect synchronization between perforation and cut.

It is better to cut slightly after a perforation than before because cutting before perforation leaves a flap that is pushed through the printer and that may cause paper jam.

Wall Compensation (mm)

DRV

When the printout is printed and cut, the presenter ejects 50 mm of the page so that the customer can grab it. If the kiosk wall is thick, or if you just want a longer part of the printout to be visible, this parameter adds extra eject length.

<ESC>&P<047><050> Adds 50 mm extra eject = 100 mm in total.

Out-of-Paper Level



Sets the level at which the TOF sensor detects out of paper. The out-of-paper level may differ from the black-mark level on label stock where the foil opacity indicates top of form.

This parameter is set automatically when you run the “Calibrating the TOF sensor procedure” (manually or using ESC #).

Vendor Class



Switches identity of the device from Printer Class (0x07) to Vendor Class (0xFF).

Caution • When not set to “Printer Class”, no programs that rely on the Windows printer

driver will be able to communicate with the printer, and thus not be able to reset the parameter to Printer Class again.

Partial Cut Length



2Default

0 Min 2Max

Sets the length of the partial cuts in mm from the edges of the paper (the blade cuts from the paper edges towards the middle).

The paper width parameter n48 is used to specify the edges of the paper so the printer knows where to start to cut. If parameter n48 is set to auto width, the setting of the TOF sensor selector switch determines the print width and thus also the start position for the partial cut.

Caution • A too large partial cut may cause problems with the presenter, so stay with the

default setting if possible.
