Product Presentation

The TTP 7030 kiosk printer uses direct thermal printing. The print speed is up to 75 mm per second.

The printer has an integrated control board. The TTP 7030 communicates with the host computer through the USB interface and can be equipped with an optional serial port.

Figure 1 • Printer Exterior, Rear View

Printer drivers for Microsoft Windows™ are available, and the printer is compatible with the Plug and Play standard. It is also possible to address the printer directly from the kiosk software without using drivers.

The loop generating presenter mechanism handles documents of various lengths. It holds the printout until printed, then cuts and presents the complete printout to the customer. The retractand-retain version of the printer can retract uncollected printouts into a wastebasket inside the kiosk.

A flip-up print module gives the operator access to the paper path, and print head, for maintenance purposes.

Installation Considerations

The TTP 7030 printer is designed to be installed in an enclosure such as a self-service kiosk.

The illustration below gives an example of a printer-mounting shelf. See also Printer

dimensions on page 110. 3D solid models and outline drawings for CAD are available in the

partner section of www.zebra.com

Figure 3 • Example of a Simple Shelf for Fastening a Standard Printer

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 kiosk enclosure.

P1003636-002 TTP 7030™ Technical Manual 10/05/2009

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.

Ambient Light

There is an optical sensor just inside 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.

The printer has inputs for one paper-near-end sensor, and one weekend sensor.

Figure 7 • Paper Level Sensor Indicators on Roll Holder

The paper-near-end sensor alerts the system when a couple of meters of paper remain 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.

Installation

Paper Level Sensors

The weekend sensor should alert when the remaining paper does not last over a weekend. A reason to use this sensor is that it is more expensive to get a service technician out on a weekend or holiday than it is to replace the roll before it is totally empty.

The Zebra 150 mm paper roll holders are equipped with paper-near-end sensor only, while the 250 mm roll holders have both paper-near-end and weekend sensors.

When installing the Zebra roll holder just connect the cable from the roll holder to connector

J1 at the back of the printer. See Figure 1, Printer Exterior, Rear View , on page 9. If you use custom designed roll holders, connect the sensors according to Figure 8, Paper-

near-end Sensor Connection, on page 22.

Operation

Installing a Paper Roll

1. Turn the new paper roll as shown. The paper should be inserted into the printer with the

temperature-sensitive side up.

Figure 9 • Paper Roll Orientation

2. Tear off a full turn of the paper (approximately 0.5 m) from the new paper roll.

Caution • This is important since the outer end of the paper is usually fixed to the roll with

some type of glue or self-adhesive substance that might otherwise cause paper jam or even print head damage.

Figure 10 • Tear off 0.5 m from the new paper rol

3. Make sure the printer is turned ON.

Note • The paper sensor is on the same side as the blue paper release lever (where the arrow

points in Figure 12, Insert the New Paper, on page 25). If the paper is cut in a direction

opposite to that as shown in the figure above, the sensor will not detect the paper.

5. Insert the paper through the paper entry opening at the back of the printer.

The printer will now feed, cut and eject a printout, and then automatically go on-line.

Note • In high temperature and high humidity, the paper may lose its stiffness resulting in

paper jam at automatic paper loading. In such cases, load paper manually.

1. Tear off the paper close to the paper roll and open the print module.

Figure 13 • Open the Print Module

2. Lift the print head by pushing the paper release lever upwards.

3. Remove all jammed paper by gently pulling the paper up and out of the print module.

Make sure the paper path is clear and then close the printhead.

Caution • NEVER pull paper backwards through the print mechanism.

Programming

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

Command Code 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.

It is possible to select a fixed page length. If you do that, text and logotypes can also be printed in landscape orientation.

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 Ticket

Styles on page 28. You can switch between these cursors at any time; the

cursor will retain its last position on the ticket.

Driver oriented All TTP 70x0 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

How The Commands Are Described

Two-Byte Character Definitions

Some commands and parameters are used with a two-byte value definition because the internal structure of the printer's firmware limits access to values greater than 255. To represent values greater than 255 in this two-byte format, divide the value by 256. The whole number (quotient) is the value of the leading byte and the remainder (modulo) is the value of the trailing byte.

Example • To represent 731 in two-byte notation, divide 731 by 256.

731 ÷ 256 = 2 with a remainder of 219 (2 x 256 + 219 = 731)

Therefore, the two-byte representation of 731 is <2><219>.
