CONNECTING THE PRINTER
The printer has three available connections: 7 pin connector, USB or RJ45 socket.
POWER &PULSE CONNECTION
The 7-pin connector at the centre, rear of the device is for power and for controlling
the device via a pulse interface. From left to right, the pins are:
1 –Red –+12-24V DC
2 –Black –Ground
3 –Brown –Coin In Pulse Signal
4 –Orange –Note In Pulse Signal
5 –Yellow –Pay Out Trigger Pulse Signal
6 –Green –Ticket Out Output
7 –Blue –Error Out Output
USB DATA CONNECTION
The USB connection is used to host a COM port on a connected PC, allowing the device
to be communicated with through the SSP protocol. Information on this protocol can
be found in a separate document (Innovative Technology manual GA138). SSP can be
used to configure and control the device, as well as to download certain files onto the
device via the SSP update process. The device is connected in this way like any other
USB peripheral, and no special cables should be required.

INSERTING A ROLL OF PAPER
To insert a new roll of paper, remove the
roll mandrel from the printer (reverse of
C).
Position the roll so that the paper edge
comes from below the roll (B).
Insert the mandrel into the roll of paper.
The spool of the mandrel should be on
the left hand side of the roll (as shown,
A).
Push the mandrel (with roll) down onto
the clips until secure (C).
With the unit powered on, feed the
paper into the mechanism (D). When
the paper triggers the sensor, the unit
will auto-feed the paper. Remove the
excess paper when the unit has
completed the paper feed.
If required, you can now do a test print (see Dip Switches & Buttons).

MICRO SD CARD SLOT AND BATTERY COMPARTMENT
The micro SD card slot and battery compartment are located on the left hand side of
the unit. The battery is accessed via the removable cover.
Inserting a micro SD card expands the memory of the printer, allowing extra fonts,
images and coupon templates to be stored.
The battery powers the units internal real time clock, which can be used to provide
and date and time stamp on coupons.
Note: Battery Type: CR1225, 3 Volt, 50mAh (BA00100)
CREATING TEMPLATES &TESTING
TICKET TEMPLATE MANGER
To fully maximise the potential of the CR-158 printer and its printing capabilities, and
to test the unit fully, we recommend you install Ticket Template Manager.
Ticket Template Manager is a software tool that allows users to create and edit
ticket/receipt designs, and upload them to Innovative Technology printer products.
To Connect to Ticket Template Manager, the CR-158 must be set to SSP.
PULSE
Tickets must be Pre-loaded onto the CR-158 when using the Pulse interface. Printers
purchased in the Pulse interface will have templates Pre-loaded for testing. These
templates can be updated or changed using Ticket Template Manager.
