1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 About this manual
This document describes the daily handling of the TTP 101 Kiosk Printer.
The printer is a system component that is usually built into other type of products such as
information terminals and vending machines. This means that we cannot describe the
actual design with respect to the position of the paper roll, the paper feed switch or the
power-ON/OFF switch.
Since the behavior of the printer to a large extent depends on the design of the
application software, please also refer to the applicable system documentation.
NOTE! — The manual describes the standard version of the TTP 101 equipped with
firmware (printer program) version 1.17.
1.2 Updating
As, from time to time, printer functions and features may be added or amended, this
manual will be updated. No automatic distribution of new editions is, however, planned.
Registered manual owners (see registration form at the end of the manual) will be kept
informed about new editions, product changes, etc. through our bulletin service. Updated
manuals can be ordered by fax or phone.
You can also download the current manual edition from the Manuals area of our BBS
(phone number at the back of the title page). The manual is supplied in the Adobe
Acrobat file format. By downloading the free Acrobat Reader program from the same
area in the BBS, you can view and print the manual locally without the need of any other
program.
If you require functions not found in the manual edition at your disposal, please consult
one of our offices for information.

4. Tear off approximately 0.5 m from the new paper roll.
CAUTION!
This is important since the outer end of the paper is usually fixed to the roll with
some type of glue or self-adhesive substance that might otherwise cause paper
jam or even printhead damage.

9. Switch the power ON and keep the paper feed button depressed for at least 5
seconds. The printer enters a self-test mode and produces a printout showing some
technical data, and (repeatedly) all characters that can be produced by the printer.
NOTE! — The printer is off-line and cannot receive any data while in the self test
mode.
10. Release the paper feed button to stop the printing. The printer cuts and ejects the
document, but remains in the self test mode. Renewed actuation of the paper feed
button produces a demo test print-out followed by cut and eject.
11. Exit the self test mode by switching the power OFF.
12. Set the printer in normal operation mode by switching it ON again.
4 CLEANING
Remove paper dust from the presenter module by blowing, or by using a vacuum
cleaner, or a soft brush.
5 STORAGE
CAUTION!
If the printer is not to be used for a long period of time, disengage the printhead from
the print platen by raising the paper release lever to upright position. Both the
printhead and the platen will otherwise be deformed.
