Status & Operating Modes      The DPP-250 uses LEDs to indicate various conditions of operation. This may  be  charging, active  or  online,  battery  low  conditions.    The  following explains these conditions and LED indication.  LED  Function ERR 1. It lights in green – the printer power is on.  2. It lights in red – end of the paper or paper out. After the loading a new paper roll, LED turns green.  3. It flashes green/red – the printer thermal head is overheating. The printer stops printing. When the printer head temperature returns to normal the ERR LED lights green and the printer continues to print.  4. It flashes green – low battery.  5. When switching ON the printer, while the LF button is pressed, red and green lights are rotated after every beep (up to the fifth).  6. While long pressing the ON/OFF button it flashes green/red after a beep. After releasing the ON/OFF button it lights green. BATT 1. When the adapter is switched ON only one of the BATT LED diodes is lighting green, depending on the battery status (from  left to right - low battery to fully charged battery).  For details see Section "Charging the Battery".
1 DATECS  DPP-250    User manual     12 2. When the adapter is switched ON  the BATT LED diodes are lighting as shown on the illustration in Section "Charging the Battery", up to full battery charging.  3. When reading a Magnetic Card, the BATT LED are lighting simultaneously in both directions – from the middle outwards to the left and right.     BT  1. It lights blue when PAIRING.  Table 4 8. Loading Paper      The  DPP-250  uses  a  drop-and-load  design  making  paper  loading easy and trouble free.

These  modes  can  be  used  to  assist  developers  in debugging  problems  related  to  programming  and  communication. The following explain how to access the various operating modes.  Step #1: Make sure the printer is OFF (On-line LED is OFF) before                performing step #2.   Step #2: Press and hold the line feed button (LF). While pressing                the (LF) button, press the (POWER) button momentarily                and release when one of the conditions below:    LF Button Operation Modes Holding LF button  while power on for  ~  0.5  sec and releasing it after 1-beep. SHORT SELF TEST print. Holding LF button  while power  on for ~ 2.5 sec and releasing it after 2-beep. Hex DUMP mode. All input data are printed as hexadecimal. Holding LF button  while power  on for ~ 4.5 sec and releasing it after 3-beep. LONG SELF TEST print. Holding LF button  while power on for more than 8.5 sec and releasing it after  the 5-beep (long 4-tone) beep.   Program mode – loading the printer firmware. Holding ON button while power  on for ~ 4 sec and releasing it after 1-beep. Temporary forcing 9600 bps serial speed. Holding ON button while power  on for ~  6 sec.  Hardware Setup Mode.  Table 5  Note: Care must be taken when entering operating modes to prevent the            clearing of factory preset configuration information.  Self-test      The DPP-250 has a built-in test pattern that shows the printer’s current configuration as well as the various resident printer fonts. The self-test can also be used as a troubleshooting tool to determine printing  problems or battery level.  The steps below show how the self-test is printed activated.

Pairing Info Details   BAUD RATE:    Default is 115200  AUTO OFF  TIME:    Default is 5 minutes  PRINT DENSITY:     Default is 100%  CHARACTER TABLE:   Default is WESTERN (1252)  PAIRING INFO:    Default is (SAVE=No)   Notes:      When  saving    pairing  information,  the  printer  remembers    Bluetooth information    of    the    last    device    connected    (paired)    to    the    printer. Saving    pairing    info    prevents    the    printer    from    asking    for    passkey upon  initialization.  The  process  for  using  this  option  is  described  below. "To speed this programming process, you may bypass the memory switch  settings   by  indicating   "NO"   via  pressing  of  the   <ON/OFF> button    when    the    printer    prints    "CHANGE    MEMORY    SWITCHES"    as shown  on  page  17.    This  will  advance  you  to  the  next  level  of setting where pairing can be found".  1. Following  instruction  on  page-13,  change  the  Pairing  Info option to [Save = Yes].  2. Turn  the  printer  on  and  pair  the  printer  to  your  Bluetooth device.  3.

1 DATECS  DPP-250    User manual     25 15. Magnetic Card Reader (MS Version only)     The  DPP-250    has  a  built-in  magnetic  card    reader.  The  card reader  incorporates    a    (3)-track    magnetic    read   head    requiring    a  single swipe to read field data from all three tracks.        The    reader’s    magnetic   head    faces    towards    the   front    of    the  printer.  When  placing  the    card  into  the    reader,  the  magnetic  strip must be facing  as  show  in  the  figure  above.    Keep  the  bottom  edge  of  the card  flat  on  the  inner  base  of  the  reader  to  ensure  that  the magnetic strip passes over the read head evenly.  When swiping the card through the reader, use an even consistent  motion  from  start  to  finish.    The    speed    of    swiping    can    vary  however  the  speed  must  be consistent  from  start  to  finish  of  the  swipe  in  order  to  accurately read card data.    User Notes:    To use the magnetic card reader feature, special software must be  used to read and process the card information.  If you do not have  card reading software, please consult your reseller to find out if this  software  is  available  or  contact  DATECS  for  recommendations  on  compatible third party software solutions.   16. Smart Card Reader (SC Version only)     The DPP-250 has a built-in smart card reader (optional). The smart  card  reader  is  designed  to  read  information  stored  embedded  on  smart    chips    and    process    the    information    using    device    side software.
