GENERAL FEATURES
The FT190S is a printer which, in addition to having an innovative design,
guarantees high performance and is reliable and user-friendly.
Forthese reasons, itis the idealsolutionfor applications whichrequire the im-
mediateprinting ofdata onaticket, whetherthey beofan industrial,professional
orlaboratory nature.Typicalfields ofapplication are: weighingsystems, receipts
(notfor tax purposes)as well asforsecurity,controlling and diagnosticspur-
poses.
Ithas a200 dpi thermalprint mechanismanduses 57.5mmpaper rolls.Itcan
print24or 40 characters per line according totheselection made at the setup
stageor througha software command.
The FT190S printer is so compact and lightweight that it can be installed ex-
tremely easily on any type of equipment. It is supplied with an RS232 serial
interface. The reception buffer is 1Kbytes. It can also be equipped with a
Real Time Clock.
(Fig.1)

INTRODUCTION
FT190S 4
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINTER
The FT190S printer has an ABS casing (1) with a front cover (2) which
opens to allow access to the paper roll and print head.
Thecontrolpanelislocated on the front (3) and has a PRINT key, a FEED key
andtwoLEDs:PowerandStatus.
• PRINT key. When pressed, in serial causes the “$0D” control character to
betransmittedifenabledduringprintersetup.Inparalleltothe PRINTkey
isthe J6 connector whichcanbe used to connectto an external key
(fig.1.1).
• FEEDkey.When this ispressed, the paperfeeds forward manually. Ifthis
keyis pressedbriefly,whenthe RTCKoptionis installed,the date andtime
ofday is printed.
• ThePOWER LED indicatesthat the printerisreceiving adigitalpower
supply.
• TheSTATUSLED,when flashing,signals thatthe paperis finished.When
litsteadily,it signals thepresence ofanerror (headpower supply toohigh
ortoo loworhead temperaturetoo high).

1.1 CONNECTIONS
1.1.1 Power supply
The FT190S printer is equipped with a standard 4-pin male AMPMODU1-
type connector (J4). The signals on the connector pins are as follows:

1.2 CONFIGURATION
The FT190S enables the configuration of the printer default parameters.This
procedure is enabled by holding down the PRINT and FEED keys while
switching on, with the jumper JP2 (Fig. 2.1) present on the printer card open.
After this, each time the PRINT key is pressed, the parameter is modified
and its current value is printed. Once the required value has been obtained,
press the FEED key to proceed to the next parameter, and so on. Once all
the parameters have been run through, the printing of a message signals the
end of the setting procedure.
The parameters affected during configuration are:
• Selection of the number of columns (24 or 40)
• Print direction (normal or reverse)
(Tab.1.2)
(Tab.1.3)

1. INSTALLATION AND USE
FT190S1-3
• Selection of the character dimensions (normal, double width, double
height, expanded)
• Selection of the font (font 1 or font 2)
• Enabling or disabling of the CR command
• AUTOFEED enabling or disabling : if the function is enabled when the
printer receives a characters number equal to the line buffer the next
character will place on the left margin in a new line
• Selection of the print speed in function of the absorption
• Selection of the red intensity : using two-colour thermal paper is
possible to set different red tonality
• Selection of the parameters for serial communication
• Enablingordisablingofthe 1Kbytebuffer
• Enablingsettingoftherealtimeclock
• Enablingof secondsprinting inthe realtime clockfunction
The settings made are saved on the EEPROM (non volatile memory).
1.3 AUTOTEST
To run the autotest, hold down the FEED key, while switching on the printer.
The autotest causes the printing of the printer’s current setting data and the
printing of the complete ASCII character set.
1.4 HEXADECIMAL DUMP
If the PRINT key is held down during switching on, the printer enters
Hexadecimal Dump mode. This function is used for the diagnostics of
characters received in serial. In fact, these are printed in hexademical code
together with the corresponding ASCII code.

1.5 MAINTENANCE
1.5.1 Changing the paper roll
To change the paper roll, proceed as follows:
1) Open the printer cover and press down the swinging support of the print
mechanismatthepointmarked PUSH;
2) Insert the end of the paper roll in the slit of the print mechanism and
position the paper roll so that it rotates in the right direction, as shown in
the figure;
3) The paperisautomatically pulledbythe rollerfor 3 or4 centimetres;
4) Tear off the paper and re-close the cover.
WARNING
Makesure the paperedgeis straight
beforeinserting itin themachine.

2.1 RS232 SERIAL
The printer has an RS232 serial interface and is connected using a 25-pin
femaleconnector. Thecommunication signals usedfor serial protocolare TXD,
RXD and RTS (if the RTS/CTS protocol was selected) or TXD and RXD if the
XON/XOFprotocol wasselected.

2.2 CALENDAR CLOCK (optional)
The Real Time Clock is available as an option.
Printing and adjustment of the clock are managed by a series of control
characters, described as follows.
N.B.
For the real time clock control characters, please refer to the
description of the printer command sets in chapter 3
2.2.1 Adjusting the clock through the keypad
The time and date can be adjusted using the PRINT and FEED keys on the
printer’s front panel. To set, proceed as follows:
• While holding down the FEED key, press the PRINT key. The printer will
print the time and date with an arrow indicating the digit to be modified;
• Each time the PRINT key is pressed, the digit marked by the arrow will
increase and an updated version will be printed;
• To proceed to modify another digit, press the FEED key again. Each
time the printer will print the updated time and date, highlighting with an
arrow the currently selected digit;
• To terminate the setting procedure, press PRINT and FEED at the
same time.

3. PRINTER FUNCTIONS
FT190S3-1
3.1 PRINT DIRECTION
The FT190S printer has two printing directions which can be selected by
meansof the control characters:
normalandreverse.

FT190S 3-2
3.2 CONTROL CHARACTERS
The command table lists all the commands for the management of the
FT190S printer functions. The commands can be transmitted to the printer at
any moment, but they will only be carried out when the characters previously
transmitted have been printed or the commands previously transmitted have
been carried out. There are no commands with priority status; all the
commands are carried out when the circular buffer is free to do so.
