INTRODUCTION

The PORTI-Sisdesigned forusewith electronicinstruments such asmobilePOS,

retail, transportation.warehousing,othertraveling and mobilecomputing.

The mainfeaturesof the printerare asfollows:

1.High speed printing :50mm persecond.

2.Lownoisethermalprinting.

3.RS-232 communication and IrDA(protocolmethod)

4.Characters can be scaled up to 64 times compared toitsoriginalsize.

1.3. Installing or replacing thepaper roll

1.Makesurethat the printerisnotreceiving data;otherwise,datamaybe lost.

2.Open the paper roll coverbyapplying yourfingeron bothside ofprinter,

pushitup when the lock isreleased as showninthe drawing.

3.Removethe used paper roll coreif thereisone.

4. Insert the paper roll as shown.

Note:Be sureto use paper rollsthatmeet the specifications.

Do notuse paper rollsthathave thepapergluedtothe

corebecause theprintercannotdetect thepaperend

correctly.

5.Besureto notethe correctdirection that the papercomesoff the roll.

6,Pull outasmall amountofpaperand then closethe cover,as shown.

5.1Frame structure

SOF:Startof frame(SOFcode mustbe 0xC0)

TOF:Type of frame(See the tableshown below)

EOF:End of frame(EOFcode mustbe 0xC1)

CHECKSUM:Checksumisnecessaryincase of the TOFcode is0x44.

DATA:Dataisin need of the TOFcode is0x44,0x05,0x53.

TOF:

1. If the code (0xC0,0xC1,0x7D)isincluded on sending data, firstinsert0x7D

code, then operateXOR withthatcode and 0x20.

Example: Incasethe send datais0x20 0x7D0xC1, the sending datawill

be 0x20 0x7D0x5D0x7D0xE1.

Note:The bolded characterisinserted data.

And the underlined chacteristhe data operated XOR with 0x20.

2. If the code 0x7Disincluded on receiving, firstremove 0x7Dcode, then

operateXOR with nextcode and 0x20.

Example: Incasethe received datais0x20 0x7D0x5D0x7D0xE1,

the realdatawill be 0x20 0x7D0xC1.

Note:The underlined chacteristhe data operated XOR with 0x20.

1.DATAID:Itismade up 1 digitnumber.

The range is0-9.

The numbermustbe charactercode.

2.DATALength:Itconsistsof4 digitnumbers.

The range is0001 -9999.

The numbermustbe charactercode.

Example-If you want tosend 4 numbersdatato printer,

you mustsend 0x30 0x30 0x30 0x34 codesasdatalength.

3.CHECKSUM:Itis composed of2 bytes.

And 2nd byteisoperated XORvalue with even numbersofdata

Example-Incase ofprintdataisSAMPLETEST,datalengthis0011

value withS,M,L,space,E,T,and 2nd bytechecksumisopera-

A.MISCELLANEOUSNOTES

1.Printermechanismhanding

1)Do notpull the paperoutwhen the coveris closed.

2)Becausethe thermalelementsof the printhead and driverICsare easy to

break,so do not touchthemwith anymetalobjects.

3)Sincethe areasaround the printhead becomeveryhotduring and justafter

printing,do not touchthem.

4)Do notusethe coveropen button exceptwhen necessary.

5)Do not touchthe surface of the printhead because bustand dirtcan stick

tothe surface and damage the elements.

6)Thermalpapercontaining Na,K,Cl ions can harmthe printhead thermal

elements.

Therefore,be sureto use onlythe specified paper.

7)If you want to uselabelpaper,pleasecontactyourdealerforassistance.

2.Thermalpaperhandling

Noteson using thermalpaper

Chemicalsand oil on thermalpapermay cause discoloration and faded printing.

Therefore,payattention tothe following;

1)Usewaterpaste,starch paste,polyvinylpaste,orCMCpastewhen gluing

thermalpaper.

2)Volatile organic solvents such asalcohol,ester,and ketone can cause

discoloration.

3)Some adhesivetapesmay cause discoloration orfaded printing.

4)If thermalpapertouchesanything whichincludesphthalicacid esterplasticizer

foralong time,itcan reducethe image formation abilityof the paperand

can causethe printed image tofade.Therefore,when storing thermalpaperin

acardcase orsample notebook,be sureto use onlyproductsmade from

polyethylene,polypropylene,orpolyester.

5)If thermalpapertouchesdiazocopypaperimmediatelyaftercopying, the

printed surfacemaybe discolored.

6)Thermalpapermustnotbe stored withthe printed surfacesagainsteach

otherbecausethe printing maybe transferred between the surfaces.

7)If the surface of thermalpaperis scratched with a hardmetalobjectsuch as

a nail, the papermaybecome discolored.

Noteson thermalpaperstorage

Sincecolordevelopmentbeginsat70C(158F), thermalpapershould be

protected fromhigh temperature,humidity,and light, both before and after

printing.

1)Store paperawayfromhigh temperature and humidity.

Do notstorethermalpaperneara heaterorin enclosed placesexposed to

directsunlight.

2)Avoid directlight

Extended exposureto directlightmay cause discoloration orfaded printing.

3.Others

Becausethisprinterusesplated steel, the manualcutting edge maybe

subject torust.

However, thisdoesnotaffect the printerperformance.
