2.2 Paper Installation
SP-POS58III adopts 57.5±0.5mm width thermal paper.
When there is no paper in the paper case, please don’t press【LF】button in
case effect the reliability of the print head. As fig. 2-3 shows, uplift the
handspike according to the arrowhead direction, in order to open the upper
cover door.
Fig.2-3
Please should not use hand to draw the paper ahead or backwards.

2 RXD Host Printer receives data from host
3 TXD Printer Printer transmits data to host
5 CTS Printer Signal “MARK” indicates that
the printer is “BUSY” and
unable to receive data;
“SPACE” indicates that the
printer is “READY” for
receiving data.
6 DSR Printer Signal “SPACE” indicates that
the printer is “ONLINE”.
7 GND — Signal Ground
8 DCD Printer Same with CTS
Note: “Source”①denotes the source that signal comes from;
②Logical signal level is EIA.
Fig.2-5 PinAssignment of Serial Interface
The baud rate and data structure in serial interface mode are set to 9600bps,
8 data bits, no parity bit and 1 stop bit.
The serial interface of SP-POS58III can be connected to standard RS-232C
interface. When connected to IBM PC or compatible machine, connection
can accord to Fig.2-6.

interface data, each signal is at
HIGHT level when data is
logic 1, and LOW when data is
logic 0.
10 /ACK Out
Answer pulse, LOW level
signal indicates that data have
already been received and the
printer gets ready to receive the
next data.
11 BUSY Out
HIGH level signal indicates
that the printer is BUSY and
can not receive data.
12 PE Out
HIGH level signal indicates
that paper is end.
13 SEL Out
Pulling up to HIGH level
signal by a resistor indicates
the printer is online.
15 /ERR Out
Pulling up to HIGH level
signal by a resistor indicates
there is no error.

2.3.4 Power Connection
SP-POS58III uses external power supply as 12V, 2A, power socket is
A-1009-3P model, as Fig. 2-9 shows:
2.4 Buttons and Indicators
Power Switch: control the power on or off status. is power off
status, “－” is power on.
FEED Button: hold down the button, paper feeding starts, release it, paper
feeding stops. (If there is buzzer installed, then the buzzer will alarm
during paper feeding.)
Handspike: hold down the handspike, the upper cover opened.
Power Indicator (RED): indicates the power status.
Status Indicator (GREEN): define as below:
Status Definition
On Online
Off Offline
Flicker one time then turn
off
Paper out
Flicker twice then turn
off
Print head overheat
2.5 Self-test
The self-test can check the condition of printer, if the printer prints out the
self-test receipt correctly, it means the printer works normally. Otherwise it
needs to repair.
The self-test will print out the firmware version, interface setting and
character set.
Holding down FEED button and turn on the power, then release the button,
self-test begins automatically.
