DESCRIPTION
GENERAL FEATURES
The TPT60 is an extremely versatile receipt dispensing printer.
It is equipped with a thermal printing mechanism with a dedicated cutter for cutting the tickets, and uses
rolls of 60 mm paper. It has a 4-Kbytes print buffer and uses a RS232 serial interface or CENTRONICS
parallel interface for communication. It can print in 18,28 or 56 columns and in various modes.
The TPT60 printer consists of a stainless steel frame which houses the control card, the printing
mechanism and the paper roll.The Form Feed (FF) and Line Feed (LF) keys and three signal LEDs are
located in the upper part.If the Line Feed key is pressed, the paper continues to feed forward until
pressure on the key is released.
If the Form Feed is pressed, the paper feeds forward until the photocell (optional) detects a nick in the
paper. If there is no photocell, the paper feeds for a number of steps programmed in EEPROM.
GREEN LED : When the led is turned on, it means that printer power is on.
YELLOW LED :When the led is on it means printer status ok.
When the led is blinking it means paper end
RED LED : When the led is on it means near paper end
With the use of Flash memory technology, is possible :
• Program 5 graphic pages, and print them quickly;
• Print 7 different kinds of barcode;
• Updating of fonts or release filmware with Custom Eng. Software.
Microsoft Windows driver is available on request.
