USER`S MANUAL

Safety instructions (EN 61010-1)
In order to preclude any danger to the operator, the following instructions
should be followed:
a) In case any damage or malfunction is detected, take the unit out of operation without delay.
b) Before disassembling the unit, disconnect all inputs / outputs and the supply voltage. When
mounting the unit and the connections, make sure all live components are protected from
being touched directly.
c) Comply with the usual regulations and safety provisions for low and high current systems, in
particular country-specific safety provisions (e.g. VDE 0100).
d) The maximum admissible potential existing between the pin groups as well as to the external
protective conductor must not be exceeded. Refer to the unit´s identification label.
e) When connecting the unit to other devices (e.g. PCs), the connection must be carefully
planned. Internal connections in external units (e.g. GND connected to protective earth) may
cause excessive voltage potential.
f) This device must be grounded! For low voltage 12VDC and 24VDC systems usescreened cable.
Units with a.c. supply voltage must be connected the protective conductor.
g) Make sure that the unit is property mounted before connection and power on !
In order to preclude any damage to the unit, the following items must be
taken into account:
The maximum admissible potential between the pin groups must not be exceeded.
This applies in particular to high voltage tests.
Refer to the instruction manual !

Introduction
TheIPP 144-40 GS is an industry-standard panelmountingprinter
designed for outputting data, text and graphics. It is utilised in many fields
ofapplication to give:
faultsignals
machine / process status reports
test reports
production data / statistics
Thethermal printing process requires no maintenance anduses
commercialdocumentgrade thermo paper.The 80 mm widthprovides the
optimumwidth-lengthratio. This paper conforms to the PTB standards.
The printer prints max. 48 characters ( normal font) per line.At least 4600
lines can be printed on a paper roll.
Theshelf-lifeofaprinteddocumentis10yearswhenstoredinanambient
temperatureofunder 60 °C and a relative humidity of under80%.
Transmission is serial by means of an RS 232 (V24) or TTY (20 mA current
loop) interface.A 16 kByte data buffer allows rapid transmission.
To format the text, IPP 144-40 GS supports the most important control
charactersofthesiemensdesktopprinterPT88,e.g.bold,expanded.
Apaperre-rollmechanism(optional)may be installedunderthe printer.A
plexiglasscover allows IP64 protection.

- Connect printer to the supply voltage indicated by a cross on
the sticker. ( see pin assignment page 6)
-Establishappropriate data connection (cable description:

- Initiate a data transmission, e.g. hardcopy via message
display, or a PC
Function description
Theprintoutis invented and right justified, which givesthecorrectorder
afterthe paper has been torn off.
TheIPP144-40GSstartstheprintingimmediatelyafterreceptionof<CR>.
The control characters <CR>, <LF> and <FF> are print triggering
characters.Unrecognized control characters are alwaysignored
(Charactersused: appendix E).
If a larger amount of data (more than 100 lines) must be printed at the
same time, a socalled handshake controls the transmission. If the receive
bufferisalmostfull,theprintertransmitsthecharacterXOFFandactivates
theRTS line (neg. voltage). If thebuffercontentsare reduced, the printer
transmits the character XON and switches the RTS line back to passive.
This is also the case when:
- the printer door is open
- the printer is in menu mode
- the paper feed is empty
Pagination is possible via an internal line counter.At the end of a page the
printeradds3blanklines.Thepagelengthisadjustable(appendixE). The
character<FF>enablesa form feed.
Configuration
Theprinterisadaptable to many different applications. the default settings
areappropriate for most of them.
Theset parametersare permanently stored (requires nomaintenance).To
avoidchangingthemenuparametersbyaccident,linkjumperB,
accessible from the front. This jumper is not linked at delivery. JumperA
must remain open all the times.

Locking the
Menu / Select
key
RESET-key
If the jumper B is connected, the „MENU / SELECT“ key
islocked; menu parameters can neither be printedor
modified.
Inorderto print or modify parameters:
remove jumper B !
The key S102 resets the printer to the standby mode. The
menu parameters will not to be changed.
All functions of the IPP 144 are set via menu program using
the„ENTER“ and „SELECT“ keysandaresaved when the
userquitstheprogram.
From then the IPP 144 automatically uses these
parameters.
Theprint format for the printout of the parametersis always
NORMAL with 48 character per line, so that the parameters
canbe read during printing.

Setting TTY (20 mA current loop)
If the transmission to the printer must be executed by means of the TTY
interface, the selection switch must be positioned to the left. Default
position is right: RS 232. Slide snap lock to the right hand side, swivel front
door out. Now you can see the switch S 101 on the printed circuit board.
-For RS 232 C, RS 422 and RS 485 set switch S 101
to the right hand side.
-For Current loop, set switch S 101 to the left hand side.

Replacing the Paper Roll
Proceedas described below:
1. For devices with a.c. power supply be very careful.
2. Push the snap lock to the right hand side and open the
frontpanel.
3. Tilt the wire frame upwards;
removethe old paperroll.
4. Insert new paper roll; make sure it rotates clockwise
duringprinting(see left side of the figure).
5. Trim the leading edge of the paper roll to get a clean
straightedge(seerightsideofthefigure). Insert
paper into bottom of print mechanism (as shown in the
diagram below) until roller automatically takes it up.
6. Press the „LINE FEED / ENTER“ key until the paper
appearsatcuttingedge.
7. Ifyouhave fed too much paper, carefully rewind the roll.
pushthewireframeback over the roll.
8. Close the front panel (snap lock must lock). TheAlarm
LED extinguishes and the printer is ready.
Warning: Dangerous voltage
is accessible if replacing the paper roll after
opening of the front panel !

Possible errors
If there is no printout or if the printout is incorrect, verify the following:
- Has the paper run out? The end of paper is indicated by the „Alarm“
LED.
- Did you insert the paper properly?
- Do the baud rate, parity and word length of both units correspond?
- Is the data cable disconnected? Does the pin assignment
correspond to the description?
-Isthe setting „RS232/TTY“ correct?
- Is the transmitter transmitting? It can be tested electically on the
printer line RxD by means of a measuring device.
Themenu cannot be printed:
- Is the voltage supply correct? By pressing the „Line Feed“ key, the
paper scroll one line.
Blanklinesappearwithoutanyreason:
- Text coming from the transmitter has more than 48 characters per
line (24 in wide font). Blank characters are probably presnet
between the text and character <CR>. The number of characters
must be restricted to 48 (or 20) characters per line.

Paper re-roll mechanism:
Item number 57200 00000
The IPP-AW is a paper re-roll device specially designed for use with the
IPP 144-40 GS. It can be installed directly underneath the printer. The
printed paper is automatically wound onto a drum by a motor.All pull-out
frontpanel allows easypaperhandling (insertion, removing).

Thepaperre-roll device is a DIN-specifiction panel mounting unit. Itis
suppliedwithpowerand controlled via the connector cable which comes with
the unit.An LED indicates ready status. Depending on the distance between
the two units at least the last 9 lines printed remain visible.
Thepaperre-rolldeviceisinserted into the panel cut-out from the front and is
clampedagainsttherearside of the switchborad using the lateral mounting
bolts.The switchboard thickness must not exceed 12mm.
