  11  www.dascom.com  Integrating the Printer into your Business Applications Step by Step – Creating a Link from Host to Printer  A.  Windows Desktop Computers  Print Drivers You may download the appropriate Windows driver from our website.  Install the printer driver by the standard method for your version of Windows.  I. USB a)  Install the printer driver onto your host before connecting the printer.  Follow prompts displayed during installation.   b)  Plug the printer into a USB port on your host system using a mini-USB cable.    c)  The printer will appear in the “Unspecified” devices section.  Right click on the icon. d)  In the popup window, select the Hardware tab.  Note the USB port number displayed. e)  Using the “Add Printer” wizard, install the printer using the driver file obtained from DASCOM and the USB port number noted above. f)  After the printer driver installs, the printer will appear as “Dascom 3-inch printer” under the “Printers and Faxes” heading of your Windows “Devices and Printers” screen. II.  Bluetooth – General a)  Turn on printer.  Make sure Bluetooth on your host device is turned ON. b)  Your host Bluetooth manager may automatically scan for new devices, or you may need to tell it to scan.  The discover name of the DP-330 printer will be “DP-330-XXXxxxxx”, where XXXxxxxx = the Printer Serial Number.   c)  For Pairing, the default passkey is “0000”.  Note:   Bluetooth host devices pair after discovery, but only connect to Bluetooth printers when the host application has asked it to print. III.  Bluetooth – Windows 7 and above a)  Turn on printer.  Make sure Bluetooth on your host device is turned ON. b)  Open the “Devices and Printers” folder.   c)  Select “Add a Device”.  The printer will display using the discover name listed above. d)  Select the printer from the list of devices.    e)  Select “Enter the Device’s Pairing Code”.  The default pairing code is “0000”.    f)  A window will display informing you the device was successfully added, and the printer name will appear in the devices list.  Close this.  g)  Printer now appears under “Printer and Faxes” heading of the “Devices and Printers” screen, as “DP-330-serial #”.  The icon may show that it is still configuring.   h)  Right click on the printer name or icon and select Properties.  Select “Services” tab and deselect all items except for “SPP”.   i)  Now select “Hardware” tab.  A virtual com port number will be listed here – make note of this COM Port number.   Use this Com Port number when setting up the printer driver, under the “port settings”.

  14  www.dascom.com  Maintenance and Troubleshooting  A. Cleaning  In normal environments, the printer should be cleaned after printing a few rolls of paper or if there are voids in the printout.  For optimum performance and life, you should clean the Print Head and Platen Roller whenever you load new paper.    To clean the printer areas as described below, use a Thermal Head Cleaning Pen and MCR Cleaning Card available from DASCOM, or you may use cotton swabs moistened with isopropyl alcohol.    Turn the printer off.  Open the Paper Door and remove the paper.   Using a Thermal Head Cleaning Pen, clean the white ceramic surface on the Print Head. Caution: Do not use sharp objects to clean the print head.  This may damage the printer and require service.  Such damage is not covered under warranty.   Clean the Black Mark Sensor below the print head.   Clean the Tear Bar.   Clean the Platen Roller.  Turn the Platen Roller with your finger to clean the entire surface.   If a Magnetic Card Reader is installed, pass and MCR Cleaning Card through the MCR slot to clean the head.  You may also experience a buildup of paper dust in the printer.  This may be removed using a can of compressed air or by vacuuming.  To clean the exterior of the printer, turn the printer off and use a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent.  B. Battery Care  I.  Getting the Maximum Battery Life  New batteries are shipped in an “uncharged” state and must be charged for at least 4 hours prior to the first use.  Maximum battery capacity is not reached until after completing a minimum of three complete charge and discharge cycles.  II.  Charging the Battery    Plug the power adapter into a power source appropriate for the adapter being used.   Plug the power adapter into the power connector on the side of the printer.  The printer’s battery charging circuitry will analyze the condition of the battery and begin charging it if necessary.   If the battery is not fully charged, charging will begin and the Battery Indicator will illuminate.   When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Indicator will turn off.  Charging may take up to 8 hours (4 hours with external desktop charger accessory) depending on the condition of the battery.   The printer may be used while the battery is charging, but this will extend the time required to fully charge the battery.
