PRINTER FEATURES
The new s’ print portable thermal printer offers an innovative alternative to impact-based systems, with a
range of interface options (RS232 serial, R232+IRDA, RS232+Bluetooth® wireless technology). The printer is
powered using batteries.
The battery version (with RS232+IRDA interface) is primarily intended for the automatic identification and
mobile telephony market, combined with portable terminals without printer; the infrared bidirectional interface
with which it is equipped makes cable connection—so “inconvenient” for portable devices—unnecessary.
The BT version is powered by batteries (5 rechargeable AA penlight batteries), and communicates through
RS232 serial interface and Bluetooth® wireless technology. s’print-BT is a light weight and slim printer. By
means of the Bluetooth®wireless technology it is capable to print wireless at high speed without any
alignment. The ideal and best match of s’print-BT is together with PDAs, mobile phones, laptop computers,
and automatic ID devices.
The supported Bluetooth®technology profiles are SPP (Serial Port Profile) that provides RS232 serial cable
emulation, and OPP (Object Push Profile) enabling the print-out of vCard format objects (business cards).
It is important to note that s’ print is the first Custom printer designed with “sixload” easy paper load,
making it simpler and more convenient to use.
It has a 203 dpi thermal print mechanism that utilizes 57.5mm-wide paper rolls and can print up to 24 o 40(1)
charaters per line.

PRINTER DESCRIPTION
The printers consists of a ABS-V0 casing (1) equipped with a cover (2) under which is housed the paper roll and
print mechanism. On the front is the multi-function key (3) and red LED (4).
•Multi-function key. This key is used to access a variety of printer options depending on how long it is
held down. If the printer is off (red LED off), when this key is pressed power is turned on (blinking red
LED). To turn the printer off the key is pressed two times (the LED begins to blink faster) and if it is not
pressed again within three seconds the printer shuts off.
During the power-up phase, if the key is held down for at least three seconds, the printer enters the
configuration mode and prints out a printer setup report. When the print-out is complete, the printer
remains in stand-by to receive characters from the serial interface that are printed out in hexadecimal
code.
If the key is pressed, the printer by-passes the setup mode and terminates the hexadecimal dump
function. Pressing the key quickly will exit the configuration mode, while if it is held down for at least a
second, it is possible to make changes in the individual parameters.
•The red LED displays printer operating status and this check is performed “on-line”. Table 1 lists
operating statuses and the LED signals connected to them:
