Printer installation and operation
The dismantle of the printer
- Check the spare parts
- Please check the spare parts when opening the box, please contract the supplier or factory if anything missed.
The connection of the printer
- Make sure that the printer and PC are turned off, connect the cable to printer and the interface (Serial/Parallel/USB/Ethernet) of the equipment.
- 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)
- Connect the dedicated adapter of the printer
Please use the dedicated adapter of the printer. Connection diagram is shown below:

Printer cash drawer interface pin functions are defined as follows:
Pin No. | Signal | Instruction |
---|---|---|
1 | GND | Power ground |
2 | DK1 | Cash box 1# cathode |
3 | DK-1N | Open detection |
4 | PWR | Power supply/cash box anode |
5 | DK2 | Cash box 2# cathode |
6 | GND | Power ground |
Printer driver
Two types of drive for POScenter PC-80 USE Series: one is to install driver program directly under Windows9x/7/8/10/ME/2000/XP/Linux/Mac, the other is to install drive through Serial, Parallel, USB or Ethernet.
-
Install driver under Windows
Add printer in the Windows, and appoint the driver documents in the driver disk to Windows. It can print once you start print command in the program. In this way, windows printer driver turns characters to graphics dot-matrix for printing. -
Install driver by Interface
In this way, no need for drive program. It can print just when it output character to port and the hard font inside printer realizes the character exchange printing. By port for driver, the printing type transforms page printing to line printing, which controls printing more conveniently.
