PRINTER DESCRIPTION
Ultra compact thermal printer (only 9cm deep) for dispensing 35 or 58mm tickets width, easy to install (4
fastening holes and ticket presentation to user incorporated). Thanks to the exclusive anti-paper-jam
system, the ticket will always be promptly dispensed to the user.
Thanks to an innovative type of paper roll holding bracket, it is possible to accommodate up to 73 metres
of paper (max external Ø 80mm), adapt the printer to the mechanical space requirements necessitated by the
application (3 positions: upper, lower and rear) and manage the near paper end signal.
It is equipped with a 203 dpi thermal print mechanism; it has the serial interfaces RS232 and TTL and it’s also
available a version equipped with a calendar clock (Real Time Clock).
The TG558 is available with Fireproof plastic or metal front panel. The TG558 display version
is equipped with :
• alphanumeric display for viewing scrolling messages is available. Speaker output integrated;
• software tools that allows to transfer MIDI format sound into the printer, through serial port;
• When the “REPORT” key is pressed, it prints the printer operational report.
• When the “FEED” key is pressed, the paper can be fed forward manually.
• The red Status LED displays a printer hardware error status and the winnings. The check is carried out“on
line”, i.e. in the event of a malfunctioning, the LED will starts flashing as follows:
MAIN APPLICATIONS
The TG558 printer is the ideal solution for :
• kiosks (internet, public offices, bookings, bank transactions);
• self-service;
• ticket dispensing (public/private transport, automatic payments);
• parking lots;
• queue management systems;
• instruments;
• Gaming machines;

(4) NOTE: This parameter enable the automatic change of the solar time and summer time.
1.2.1 Configuration of REPORT and FEED keys
If, when the printer is switched on, both of the PRINT and FEED keys are held down, the printer enters
configuration mode and prints the first modifiable parameter. At this point, each time the PRINT key is pressed,
the parameter changes and its current value is printed. Once the desired 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 setting procedure.
1.3 AUTOTEST
To run the autotest, press the FEED key while switching on the printer. During the running of the autotest, the
character fonts and logos stored inside the printer are printed.
1.4 MAINTENANCE
1.41 Changing the paper roll
Every time you change the paper, referred to fig.1.4, need to check as follows :
• Lift the wicket relative to paper roll compartment, and check that there are no scraps of paper at the area
indicated with a) letter near the printing head. If there are, remove the scraps before proceeding with any other
operation.
WARNING
Periodically remove accumulated paper dust from
the drag paper roll and the area around the paper
outfeed sensor (see fig. 1.4 in the he points
indicated with b letter). To clean, do not use harsh
chemical solvents; the use of a soft, alcohol-
moistened cloth is recommended.

LEGEND :
Symbol Function
$indicates the representation of the command hexadecimal value (for example $40 means HEX
40).
{ } indicates an ASCII character not performable.
n, m, t, x, y are additionals/optional parameters that can have different values.
The command table lists all the commands for the management of the 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.
