Install the printer driver
There are two ways for installing the printer software. One is installing the printer as a USB device,
however this process doesn’t always work, as the driver software may conflict with previously
installed USB printer softwares.
The best way to install the printer is installing it as a network printer.
The steps of the network printer installation are the following:
NOTE: Do NOT connect the printer to the PC, laptop or network.
1. On the user PC or laptop, go to the folder that contains the printer driver software ’R12
driver’:
2. Open the folder and run the ’WinSetup.exe’ file:

Virtual printer port.
At the bottom the ’Enable bidirectional support’ checkbox also needs to be

Label printing, generating print jobs.
For printing labels the operator has two options:
Print label from a labeling/graphical or other software
Print labels from print jobs.
Printing labels from software
Printing labels from any kind of software is quite easy. The operator just needs to set all
preferences within the Speedstar Series Driver (paper size, printing speed, number of copies,
etc.)
Printing labels from print jobs.
To help the whole process it is recommended to install the driver on the personal computer
then change the following:
1. Go to Start/Devices and Printer
2. Right click on Speedstar Series
3. Go to Printer Configuration
4. Go to Ports tab
5. Change port from TCP/IP to FILE (or Print to File)
Print jobs are pre-defined printjobs which could be usable in the future. The Speedstar
printer is only working with .PRN files which can be generated from the driver of the printer.

Buttons and Led signals
The first button from the left is the Power button, with an integrated Green led. The second button is
the Cancel / Clear Error with a Red led and the last one is the Feed/Unfeed with a Yellow led. The
power button only sorts two GPIO pins so it does not require any kind of software for its operation,
consequently it can be used to power on the engine during the manufacturing process even if there
is no firmware on the machine. The other buttons need the custom firmware components added by
the “V851R_CustomFW.tcl” to be running.
The integrated leds in the buttons are used to give further information about the printer’s current
state, these are listed in the Led Table below:
Led Table:
Green Led: Power Status
Led On: Engine ON
Led OFF: Engine OFF
Red Led: Cancel Job / Clear Error
Led Off: Normal operation-> Button press will Cancel current job
Led On: Error detected -> Button press will start the Clear Error procedure, further error info
can be denoted by the yellow led’s status described below
Led Blinking: Doing work (cancelling or clearing error)
Yellow Led: Feed / Unfeed
Button press will initiate Feed or Unfeed process depending on the current paper status of
the printer.
Led Blinking : Doing work (feeding on unfeeding)
Led On + Red Led On: Engine in Paperpath related error state, denotes Paperjam in 95% of
the time
Led Blinking + Red Led On: Engine in Paperpath_end_of_roll error state, so there is no paper
in the printer or it is unable to detect it
