SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read and keep the following instructions.
•Observe all warnings and follow all instructions attached to the
printer.
•Before cleaning the printer, disconnect the feed cable.
•Clean the printer with a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or spray
products.
•Do not operate the printer near to water.

get seriously damaged.
•Do not place the printer on soft surfaces or in poorly ventilated
environments.
•Position the printer in such a way as to ensure that the cables
connected to it will not be damaged.
•Use the type of electricity supply marked on the printer label. In
the event of uncertainty, contact the seller.
•Ensure that the printer’s electricity supply is grounded and that it
is protected by a differential switch.
•Do not obstruct the vents.
•Do not put objects of any kind inside the printer as they could
cause a short circuit or damage parts which could affect its
performance.
•Do not spill liquids on the printer.
•Do not carry out technical operations on the printer with the
exception of the scheduled maintenance operations specifically
indicated in the user’s manual.
•Disconnect the printer from the electricity supply and have it
repaired by a specialized technician should any of the following
conditions occur:
A. The feed connector has been damaged.
B. liquid has penetrated to the inside of the printer;
C. The printer has been exposed to rain or water;
D. The printer is not operating normally despite the instructions in the

1.3 FRONT PANEL
The FORM FEED and LINE FEED keys and a three leds are on the front panel.
•When the LINE FEED key is pressed, the printer carries out a paper feed which can be used
to insert paper in the printing mechanism. During the switch on phase, if you hold the LINE
FEED key down the printer performs the FONT TEST.
•If the FORM FEED key is enabled, pressing this key the printer feeds forward the paper for
the number of steps programmed in the Eeprom,
If in the other hand the FORM FEED key is disabled, the printer transmits on the serial line
RS232 the 12 (HEX 0C) code. This function can be modified by the software command ESC
=. (See software commands paragraph).

1. DESCRIPTION
1 - 2 TPT60H-TPT112H
•During the switch on phase, if you hold down both keys, the printer goes into Print Setup.
After the printer setup report, the printer waits for a button to be pressed, or for characters
from serial port ; every 10 chars, prints hex values and ASCII codes (if characters are
underlined, the receiving buffer is in the full state), see Hexadecimal Dump.
With the LINE FEED button, the printer skips setup mode and terminates the Hexadecimal
Dump function.
With the FORM FEED button, the printer goes into the parameter setting mode. The

Automatic Dispenser ( optional module )
The product is an automatic dispenser for paper tickets and it is specially
indicated in the following systems :
!Paying car parks
!Motorways
!Kiosks
!Self-service systems.
After printing and cutting the ticket, the printer places it in the automatic
dispenser.
At this point the tickets can either be totally ejected at a speed of 1mt./sec or
simply protende from the paper slit by a length wich is adjustable.
If the ticket is gently pulled, the dispenser’s servo-motor will eject it.
This servo-motor electronic system is patented worldwide :
Patented B.I. n° BO97A30750
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS :
Ticket Max length 1000 mm.
Ticket Min length 85 mm.
Ticket exit speed 1mt./sec.
Ticket adjustment intervals 19.43 mm.

[Description] The bar code is printed at position (n1*256) + n2. If the value exceeds !
448 "832, it is rejected.
The number of characters to be received is (n1*256) + n2.
In this mode, the bytes received are input in the line buffer at the current
position of the cursor and in a different order from that of the previous
command. Let’s imagine that a print line consists of an array of 24 rows
containing !56 "104 bytes each: the characters received after this
command will be input starting from the top line and proceeding towards
the bottom line. After 24 characters, the pointer increases and proceeds to
the next position. At the !56th "104th position the line is printed and
filling continues on the next line. Thanks to this procedure, text and
graphics can be combined. In fact, if, for example, there were any
characters present in the print buffer, the bytes subsequent to this
command would be input in the position immediately after. Figure 1 shows
a line buffer: each box corresponds to 8 dots, which on paper correspond
to 1 mm, both horizontally and vertically. To fill the memory completely,
!1344 "2496 bytes are required. For example, to print a filled bar
!448 "832 dots long and 24 dots high, send the following command:
!1Bh + 2Bh + 05h + 40h + (1344* FFh)

[Range] 0 ≤n ≤1, 48 ≤n ≤49
[Description] Turn script mode on or off, based on the following values of n:

2. CUSTOM TPTHx EMULATION COMMAND DESCRIPTION
2 - 5 TPT60H-TPT112H
n Function
0, 48 Turns off script mode
1, 49 Turns on script mode
[Notes] •The printer can print in script mode all characters.
•When script mode is turned off by setting the value of nto 0 or 48, the
following data is printed in normal mode.
•Script mode can also be turned on or off by using ESC !. Note, however,
that the last received command is effective.
[Default] n = 0
[Reference] ESC !
[Example]
ESC = n
[Name] Form Feed key Enable/Disable
[Format] ASCII ESC = n
Hex 1B 3D n
Decimal 2761n
[Range]
[Description] This command is used to control the Form Feed key. Normally, when this
key is pressed, the paper forward feeds until a reference mark is detected
or until the steps set by the ESC + ‘Z’ command have been completed.
When the key is released, a character FF (0Ch) is transmitted. In this way
a controller can check the output of receipts with progressive number etc.
directly.
n = 0 Disables the transmission - Enables the Form Feed key
n > 0 Enables the transmission when the Form Feed key is pressed.

Hex 1B 3F n
Decimal 2763n
[Range] 32 ≤n ≤126
[Description] This transmits two bytes, the bits of which indicate the print setting, to the
serial port. The meaning of these two bytes depend on the parameter n:

[Description] When this command is received, the printer resets, restoring the default
programming and erasing the RAM.
The machine requires approx. 3 seconds from reception of the command to
regain its full operating capacity.
[Notes] Same as hardware reset.
