The PORTI-SB50 has a serial interface for bi-directional data exchange. The infrared port is the

left side of the front part.

1. To use the PORTI-SB50’s infrared port by

a Computer or a Personal Digital Assistant

(PDA) with IR port is required.

2. Position a PDA conforming to the specifications

in point not more than 50 centimeter away from

the printer’s infrared port. Make sure the two ports

are in front of each other with an angle of not more

than 15° on the four sides.

NOTE : ƔWhen infrared ray communication

doing, directness it does not see the

IrDA window roll up.

Button

- FEED :

When the printer is on, paper can be feed manually by pressing and holding the

FEED button for more than one second.

- MODE :

MODE Button is for use to change communication mode.

Do not operate the mode button without instructions.

XPanel lamp

- Power : Printer is ON and ready to receive data.

(Green) The status indicator will flash continuously to show the batteries are nearly

exhausted and in need of re-charging.

- Error : Indicates a fault condition or a printer error.

(Red) (i.e : no paper, paper cover opened. etc.)

http://www.woosim.com 17

The self test procedure will check most of the printer functions. For self test, turn on

the power while holding down the FEED Button. The Self-Test checks the following :

1) Make sure paper roll has been installed properly.

2) The Self-Test prints the current printer status, which provides the control

ROM version and the communication method setting.

3) After printing the current printer status, Self-Test will print a pattern using

the built-in character set.

4) The Self-Test automatically ends.

The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it completed the self test.
