3.3 Print connection and printing
3.3.1 Serial connection
The printer have one DB-9 serial port cable as option (one port connect to the printer, the other connect
to MINI DIN plug)
3.3.2 RAW-IR and IrDA connection
PTP-II portable thermal printer can use IR to communicate with the host for transmitting the data.
Infrared Ray is the wireless data communication technology with infrared light as communication data
carrier that explored and developed by the IrDA association.
Using method:
Infrared ray interface as the wireless data transmitting port, because of its having lower power, manure
technology, easy using, is widely applicable to portable devices, such as all the palm computer with
WINCE, laptop, mobile cell, palm computer, data collector, measure device and etc.
PTP-II, its hardware meets the regulations of IrDA1.1 physical layer.
Because IR interface depend on the infrared light as data carrier, there can not having any remora
between the data sender and the receiver device; their infrared port should aim at and close each other.

13
When PTP-II/IR communicates with the host devices that hardware also meets the regulation of IrDA 1.1
physical layer, make the IR interfaces ( from both PTP-II and the host device ) right towards to each
other ( angle shall not be more than 30° ), without any obstacles between them, the distance shall be
less than 0.5M.
PTP-II/IR can use RAW-IR to communicate with the host device; also can adopt the Vir protocol or
IrCOMM protocol (IrDA).
When using RAW-IR to communicate with the host device, IR transceiver just change the serial interface
data signal into IR signal or change light signal into serial interface data signal according to the certain
coding regulation. Under this situation, this IR interface is called RAW-IR. When you use RAW-IR, it is
not compatible with IrDA because of the software do not use IrDA protocol during sending and receiving
data.
VIR is safer and more reliable IR communication way, that is, it adds VIR protocol based on RAW-IR. In
case the host device can not support IrCOMM protocol, advise to use VIR protocol.
Compared with VIR protocol, IrCOMM protocol is based on the hardware of RAW-IR, also IrCOMM is
more popular way which is made by international IR Communication association. IrCOMM is one of
subset of IrDA protocol that is wireless data communication protocol developed by IrDA association,
based on the hardware of RAW-IR for ensuring data transmission’s stability, reliability, easy using. All
portable devices supporting IrDA protocol inn (such as wince, pocket pc, palm, IR cell phones etc.) can
support IrCOMM. As if the host device can support IrDA protocol inn, which drive the printer to use the
operation system (such as WINCE, PALM OS). So that, for developer, IrCOMM interface is the virtual
serial port. As if the host device has no IrDA protocol inn and wants to realize IrCOMM data transmission,
the developer has to write IrDA protocol inn. Whether the host device can support IrCOMM, please refer
to the developing documents of the host device or make a consultation with the supplier of the host
device.
Due to the RAW-IR interface, VIR interface and IrCOMM interface of PTP-II printer use same hardware
source, so they can’t work at the same time. The default mode of PTP-II is IrCOMM. If you want to
change the current IR interface mode, please use the special tool of PTP-II——CONFIG modification
setting. Pls refer to the details【Chapter 3: PTP-II printer tool software】
As to the detailed IrDA protocol, please refer to IrDA official website: http://www.irda.org/
3.3.3 Bluetooth
PTP-II/BT support wireless data transmission interface, meet Bluetooth 1.1 regulations, power class 2.
PTP-II/BT is only sub-device, and user need to drive the printer by Bluetooth host devices (such as PDA,
mobile phone, laptop).and other Bluetooth sub-device (such as bluetooth earphone) can’t drive the
printer to print by Bluetooth.
