1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the TSC TTP-245HR/343HR series of Thermal Transfer
and Direct Thermal Bar Code Printers. Although the printer takes only a small amount
of space, it delivers reliable, superior performance.
This printer provides both thermal transfer and direct thermal printing at user selectable
speed of: 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 or 5.0 ips, for TTP-245HR; 2.0 or 3.0 ips for TTP-343HR. It
accepts roll feed, die-cut, and fan-fold labels for both thermal transfer and direct
thermal printing. All common bar codes formats are available. Fonts and bar codes can
be printed in 4 directions, 8 different alphanumeric bitmap fonts and a build-in true type
font capability. You will enjoy high throughput for printing labels with this printer.

Note:
Please select gap or black mark sensor by GAP or BLINE command prior to
calibrate the sensor.
For more information about GAP and BLINE command, please refer to TSPL2
programming manual.
20
4.2 Gap/Black Mark Calibration；Self-test；Dump Mode
While calibrate the gap/black mark sensor, printer will measure the label length, print
the internal configuration (self-test) and then enter the dump mode. To calibrate gap or
black mark sensor, depends on the sensor setting in the last print job.
Please follow the steps below to calibrate the sensor.
1.Turn off the power switch.
2. Hold on the button then turn on the power switch.

Printer initialization is used to clear DRAM and restore printer settings to defaults. The
only one exception is ribbon sensitivity, which will note be restored to default.
Printer initialization is activated by the following procedures.
1. Turn off the power switch.
2. Hold on the button then turn on the power switch.
3. Release the button when LED turns green after 5 amber blinks. (Any green will do
during the 5 blinks).
