Paper Loading

POS88Ⅵ adopts 79.5mm width thermal paper roll. Steps of Loading Thermal Paper Are as below: Hold down the upper cover button on the left side, open the movable upper cover and put the paper roll into it, draw a certain length of the paper roll, put the paper end on the print head, close the upper cover and press it downwards lightly.

Caution!

1. Pay attention to the direction of loading paper,make the printing surfaceface to the print head.
2. Please don’t feed or draw the paper forwards or backwards with hands.
3. Keep clean of the print head, avoid to influence the printing quality

Solution to Paper Jam

If cutter jam, turn off the power, and turn on again, the cutter will be back tooriginal position. If paper jam, open the paper storage cover, and take out the paper. If thecutter can not be back to the original position, open the cover of it, and turnthewhite plastic gear by the direction suggestive on the cutter by hand to makethecutter be back to the original position.
If cutter jam, but hope no loss of data in printer, can’t turn off the power. It hastoget the cutter back to the original position by the above mentioned method by hand. Then open the paper storage cover and take out the paper, close the paper storagecover. The printer will recover automatically from Cutting Error.

Interface

Serial Interface

The serial interface of SP-POS88VI printer is compatible with RS-232C, supportsDTR/DSR and XON/XOFF handshaking protocols, uses DB25 socket (female). Thepin order of the serial port is as Fig.2-2 shows:

Fig.2-2 Pin Order of Serial Port

The pin assignment of serial interface is shown in Fig. 2-3:

Pin No.| Signal Name| Signal Direction| Source| Description
---|---|---|---|---
1| FG| ——| ——| Cover ground
2| TXD| Output| Printer| Printer    transmits    control    code X-ON/X-OFF and data to host
3| RXD| Input| Host| Printer receives data from host
4| RTS| Output| Printer| The same with 20pins DTR signal
6| DSR| Input| Host| Signal “MARK” means the host is busy and can not receive data.Signal “SPACE” means the host is ready to receive data.
7| GND| ——| ——| Signal Ground
20| DTR| Output| Printer| Signal “MARK” means the host is busy and can not receive data.Signal “SPACE” means the host is ready to receive data.

Fig. 2-3 The pin assignment of serial interface

Note:

1. “Source” denotes the source that signal come from;
2. Logical signal level is EIA. The baud rate and data structure in serial interface mode is 9600bps, 8-bit databits, no parity bit and 1 stop bit.

The serial interface of SP-POS88VI can be connected to standard RS- 232Cinterface. When it is connected to IBM PC or its compatible machine, connectioncan accord to Fig.2-4.

The pin assignment of DB9 interface is as below shows:

and can’t receive the data. When this is “SPACE” status, it means the printer is “ready” to receive the data.
5| GND| ——| Signal Ground

Parallel Interface

The parallel interface of POS88VI printer is compatible with CENTRONICS, supports BUSY or ACK handshaking protocol, The pin assignment of 36PIN parallel interface is as Fig. 2-5 shows:

respectively, each signal is at HIGH level when data is logic 1, and LOW when data is logic 0.

Cash Drawer Interface

The cash drawer interface of POS-POS88VI adopts RJ-11 6-pin socket, as Fig.2 7shows:

Fig.2-7 Cash Drawer Interface

The pin assignment is as below:

Power Connection

SP-POS88Ⅵ uses the external power supply adopter as 24V±10％、2A, power socket is A-1009-3P model, as Fig. 2-10 shows:

The pin assignment is as above:

Indicator, buzzer and button

There is one button, one buzzer and three indicators on POS88VI printer. 【FEED】is paper feed button. The function of this button is on/off can beset byprint command. When the function of this button is on, press【FEED buttontofeedpaper; release【FEED】button to stop feeding button. The buzzer can indicate the error and cutter status. Through parameters setting, the buzzer can be set into error alarm, paper-cut indicating or both above. Thetypes of error status are same as ERROR indicator. The green POWER light is the power indicator. POWER indicator lightingmeansthe printer is power on. The red PAPER OUT light indicate the paper status. It means printer lack  paperwhen it lights.

The red ERROR light is error status indicator. It is off when the printer worksnormally; while it flashes, the printer has abnormal alarm. If ERROR indicator flashes and the buzzer sounds, it means the printer has error. According to different flashing types, the different errors of printer are indicated:

1. Unrecoverable error: the times of indicator flashing and buzzer soundindicatethe error type, then indicator persistently light.
2. Recoverable error: the times of indicator flashing and buzzer sound indicatetheerror type, then indicator is persistently off.
3. Automatic recoverable error: the indicator flashes and the buzzer soundscontinuously.
4. Paper out: the indicator lights and the buzzer sounds persistently. The details are as below,
   a. Unrecoverable error, the indicator flashes several times, then persistently lights. Then cycle. The times of flashing means the error type.

b. Recoverable error: the indicator continuously flashes and persistently off for aperiod.

c. Automatic recoverable error: the indicator flashes continuously

Turn on the printer

When the printer is off and paper case cover is closed, press the POWER button to turn on the printer. The status indicator and Paper Out indicator flashestwicealternatively, then indicator off. The printer enters into the normal working mode.

Self-test

The self-test will check the condition of printer, if the printer prints out theself test receipt correctly, it means the printer works normally except interface withhost. Otherwise it needs to repair. The self-test will print out: Manufacturer name, printer model, software version, interface type, default value of printer parameters, 96 ANK characters inASCII code, content of default code-page (if language is set English) or name of Chinesecharacter library (if the language is set Chinese), bar code type.
Way of self-test: hold down【FEED】button and turn on the printer, At thistime, printer will print out self-test receipt.

Hexadecimal Printing

Turn on the printer according to the steps below, it will enter the modeof Hexadecimal Printing

1. Open the cover；
2. Hold down【FEED】button，and connect with power；3.Close the cover, the printer will print out 3 lines as below:
   Hexadecimal Dump
   To terminate hexadecimal dump, Press FEED button three times. This means the printer has entered hexadecimal printing mode, and under thismode, all of the input will be printed out as hexadecimal number, feed one linewithsingle click of “FEED” button, after 3 times, it will print out “ Completed”,and exit hexadecimal printing mode.

Printer parameter Settings

This function is for the setup of parameters. Steps for setting parameters: When printer power is off, open paper case cover firstly, then press the 【FEED】 button and turn on the printer. After status indicator and paper out indicator flash twice alternatively, press 【FEED】button twice, then close pape case cover. Printer enters into parameter setting mode and print out thefirst set parameter and its default value. The details method of setting parameter can refer to Appendix A. Steps for exiting of parameter setup: open paper case cover and press the【FEED】button; then close paper case cover and release the 【FEED】button. Theprinter will save the setup of parameters, exit setting mode and enter the normal workingmode. The data will not be saved if turn off the printer directly. 2.9

Enter the program upgrade mode

When printer power is off，open paper case cover, hold down the【FEED button, then turn on the printer. After the status indicator and paper out indicator flashalternatively, release【FEED】 button. Then press 【FEED】button five timesandprinter enters into the program upgrading mode. At this time, the indicator flashesonce each second. Quick method of entering this mode: when printer power is off, open paper casecover, hold down the【FEED】 button, then turn on the printer and releasethe【FEED】 button. Printer enters into the program upgrading mode. At this time, theindicator flashes once each second.
Notice: After printer enters into Program Upgrading Mode, if paper out indicator lights, it means this interface can’t support program upgrading. Only serial interfaceor USB interface can support program upgrading online.

Appendix A: Parameter setting

This appendix is the method to set default parameters of printer by buttons. Setup instruction: use the button o【f paper case cover】to choose the settingitems, change the item by press the button【paper case cover】, and print out thecurrent value. Use the button of 【FEED】to set the parameter, the parameter will be changed by press the 【FEED】 button.
