Printer installation and operation

4.1 The dismantling of the printer
Check the spare parts
Please check the spare parts when opening the box, please contact the supplier or factory if anything is missed.

4.2 The connection of the printer

1. Make sure that the printer and PC are turned off, and connect the cable to the printer and the interface (Serial/Parallel/USB/Ethernet) of the equipment.
2. If the automatic cash drawer is available, then connect the RJ-11 of the cash drawer to the cash drawer port of the printer. (the specification of the cash drawer must coincide  with the driver of the printer’s cash drawer)
3. Connect the dedicated adapter of the printer
   Please use the dedicated adapter of the printer. The connection diagram is shown below:

Attention:

1. First, plug the DC24V power cord of the printer, and then plug in the AC220V power, at last, turn the power switch. Do not do that the opposite way, or it will do harm to the printer.
2. Inappropriate use of the power adapter will lead to bad quality printing or even do harm to the printer.
3. Do not connect the telephone line to the cash drawer port, or it will damage both the printer and the telephone.
4. When pulling the power cord of the printer, please hold the pace where the signed arrow (Do not hold the soft cord to pull the power cord). Hold the soft cord and pull may damage the printer or the power adapter.

4.3 The loading of the paper roll
Detailed operation as shown below:

4.4 Function of Starting Up
4.4.1 Interval Sensor Adjusting
It is necessary to adjust the sensitivity of the interval sensor under the situation below:

1. new printer
2. change label
3. Printer initialization

This function is for testing the sensitivity of the interval sensor. When users change the paper of different specifications or initialize the printer, it needs to set up the interval sensor adjusting.

Please follow up on the steps below to adjust the interval sensor:

1. turn off the power of the printer
2. make sure the paper exists and the cover is closed
3. Press the PAUSE button and turn on the printer, when the printer opens for interval sensor adjustment, loosen the PAUSE button.

4.4.2 Printer Initializing
This function is for clearing data downloaded in DRAM and resetting the printer.
Please start adjusting of interval sensor after initialization.

Indicator Light and Button

There are two indicator lights: blue light for power and red light for error. Tow button: PAUSE and FEED. Showed as follows:

5.1 Indicator

5.2 Fault Code

5.3 Button

pressing the FEED button, the printer can feed to the front of the next label paper.
---|---|---
2| Pause| When the printer is working, if press the PAUSE button, the printer will stop working.
3| Gap sensor calibration| 1. Close printer power
2. Make sure the printer is feed paper and covers the upper cover.
3. Press on the PAUSE button, and open printer power, now the printer will automatically calibrate the sensitivity of the gap sensor and then save the parameters into memory. Finally, loosen the PAUSE button.

Printer Serial interface

poster PC-80 USE Printer Serial interface is RS-232 standard, the communication baud rate is 4800bps、9600bps、19200bps or 38400bps optional (you can adjust it by DIP  switch),8 data bits, without odd and even number validation, one stop bit, support RTS/CTS and XON/XOFF Handshake Protocol. Printer serial interface, the definition of  each pin function is as follows:

the control code XON/XOFF to the host.
3| RDX| host| The printer will receive data from the host
8| RTS| Printer| The signal response current printer state, High level shows the printer is busy, it can not receive data. While low level shows the printer is ready, it can receive data.
5| GND| ——–| Signal Ground
4| DR| Printer| It is the same as the RTS signal(PIN 8)

The Connection diagram between printer serial interface and POS host serial interface:

Printer parallel interface

POScenter PC-80 USE printer parallel interface socket is a 25PIN Parallel socket, 8 bits parallel transmission, supports BUSY/nAck handshake protocol. Each PIN function of  Printer parallel interface socket is as follows:

edge

3
4
5
6
7
8
9| DATA2
DATA3
DATA4
DATA5
DATA6
DATA7
DATA8
DATA9| Host

Host| These signals separately represent NO.1 to No.8 information of Parallel data. And when logic is 1, it is a high level, when logic is 0, it is a low level.
10| nAck| Printer| Printer answering signal, It shows the printer has received previous byte data
11| BUSY| Printer| The high level shows the printer is busy, it can not receive data
12| Paper-out| —–| Indicates whether the paper is missing Paper-out PE.
13| Select| Printer| By resistance to pulling high level
18-25| GND| —–| Ground connection, logic low level
15| error(NFA ult)| Printer| The resistance pulls up a high electrical levels.

Printer Ethernet Port

The Ethernet interface socket of POScenter PC-80 USE is RJ45-8P, supporting a 10M/100M network, and the transmission speed is adaptive.

Printer Cash Drawer Port

The printer cash drawer port is with standard RJ-11, 6-wires socket, output DC 24V/1A, and works by power signal. Plug the RJ-11 crystal plug into the cash drawer port and then you can open the cash drawer via printer.

        Printer cash drawer interface pin functions are defined as follows:

Printer driver

Two types of drive for POScenter PC-80 USE Series: one is to install the driver of the program directly under Windows9x/7/8/10/ME/2000/XP/Linux/Mac, and the other is to install drive-through Serial, Parallel, USB, or Ethernet.

1. Install driver under Windows
   Add a printer in the Windows, and appoint the driver documents in the driver disk to Windows. It can print once you start the print command in the program. In this way, the windows printer driver turns characters into graphics dot- matrix for printing.

2. Install the driver by Interface
   In this way, no need for a driver program. It can print just when it outputs character to port and the hard font inside the printer realizes the character exchange printing. By port for the driver, the printing type transforms page printing to line printing, which controls printing more conveniently.
