INSTALLATION AND USE NOTE: If the printer has a USB interface and the cable is plugged into the printer connector, the message USB will appear next to the address assigned by the Host to the USB peripheral device in use (see fig. 1.3). (2) NOTE: If the printer has a notch sensor (opt. 0103 ) this parameter can have different values. These values derive from the results of the notch sensor autocalibration phase, which can be made, at the user request, at the end of the font test.On the ticket is printed “notch threshold autocalibration”, and then the printer analizes a certain number of notches. After this test it’s possible to get 2 voltage values “Vin maximum voltage” and “Vin minimum voltage” which give the notch threshold value to memorize. 3) NOTE: If the printer has an USB interface, the serial interface configuration parameters are not displayed. (4) NOTE: This parameter is displayed if the printer has an USB interface; it’s used to identify univocally the USB printer by a numerical address code, if on the PC are connected two printers that are the same models for example two TPTCM60-U. (5) NOTE: This parameter is displayed if the printer has an USB interface. The Status Monitor is an additional printing driver component that allows the printer status monitoring. It must be enabled only if it was installed the Status Monitor specific driver. (1) 1.3 CONFIGURATION This printer permits the configuration of default parameters. The printer’s configurable parameters are: • Printer emulation: ESC/POS™, CUSTOM TPT D.

INSTALLATION AND USE • • • • Speed/Quality: Normal D, Draft or High Quality. Paper Autoload: Deactivated D or Activated. Reset buffer: Not implemented, At paper end D. Print density: Normal D, Light, Very light, Dark, Very dark, Double copy. General notes: 1) The parameters marked with the symbol D are the default values. 2) Settings remain active even after the printer has been turned off. The settings made are stored in EEPROM (nonvolative memory). During power-up, if both the LINE FEED and FORM FEED keys are held down, the printer enters configuration mode and prints-out the setup report; it will remain in standby until a key is pressed or characters are received through the communication port (see Hexadecimal dump). When the LINE FEED key is pressed, the printer skips the setup mode and terminates the Hexadecimal dump function. When the FORM FEED key is pressed, the printer enters the parameter entry mode. 1.4 HEXADECIMAL DUMP This function is used to diagnose the characters received through the communication port; the characters are printed out both as hexadecimal codes and ASCII codes. Once the self-test routine has finished, the printer enters Hexadecimal Dump mode. The printer remains in standby until a key is pressed or characters are received through the communication port. For every 10 characters received, the hexadecimal and corresponding ASCII codes are printed out (if the characters are underlined, the receive buffer is full). Shown below is an example of a Hexadecimal Dump: HEXADECIMAL DUMP 48 6C 63 34 65 6F 79 65 20 74 35 66 70 7A 78 64 69 36 67 71 61 75 6F 37 68 72 64 6D 6E 38 69 73 65 70 20 39 6A 74 63 20 30 61 6B 75 69 66 31 62 6C 76 6D 75 32 63 6D 77 61 6E 33 64 6E 78 Hexadecima l dump fun ction 0123 456789abcd efghijklmn opqrstuvwx yz (Fig.1.4) 1-4 VKP112 User Manual 1.
