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;

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
variables are:
•Printer emulation : ESC/POS, CUSTOM TPT.
•Baud Rate : 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, 1200.
•Data length : 7, 8 bits/char.
•Parity : None, even or odd.
•Handshaking : XON/XOFF or Hardware.
•Autofeed : CR disabled or CR enabled.
•Panel Key: Enabled or Disabled.
•Print mode : Normal or Reverse.
•Height mode : x1, x2 or x4.
•Width mode : x1, x2 or x4.
•Justification : Left, Center or Right.
