2 Communication

The CP103 Mini Thermal Printer uses a RS-232 serial interface connection with the

host communication. If a serial port is unavailable on the host device, it is possible to

use a serial / USB converter.

2.1 RS-232 Serial Interface

RS-232 is developed according to the EIA standard asynchronous transmission serial

interface. The specifications are as following:

lData transmission: serial interface

lSynchronization: asynchronous

lSignal Level: RS-232 level, logic 1:-5.4v, logic 0: +5.4v

lHardware Flow Control: optional

lBaud rate: 1200 bps to 115200 bps (NOTE: At 1200 baud, continous

printing mode of data sending from Host is not supported)

lData word length: 8 bits

lStop bit: 1bit

lParity: None

The printer self-testing page will show the current baud rate. The default baud rate is

115200bps. Refer to Chapter 3for details on the Printer Self Test.

2.2 CP103 Printer PS/2 Connector

The following drawing illustrates the PS2 socket pinout located on the CP103 printer.

This connection is used for RS-232 communication with an indicator or computer and

requires the PS2 to RS-232 interface cable (serial cable).

Pin Description

1 TXD - data output

2 no connection

3GND

4 no connection (12V DC- IN is optional)

5 RXD - data input

6 no connection (12V DC- IN is optional)

3 Printer Self Test and Cleaning

With the printer off, press and hold the [POWER] button until the printer begins to print

a self-testing page and then release the [POWER] button.

The page gives specific information regarding version of firmware, interface type, print

speed, default baud rate, etc.

3.1 Cleaning the Print Head

When the printer displays the following symptoms the print head should be cleaned:

lThe printer does not print clearly and the thermal paper is good

lThe page-test printing is not crisp and clear

lPaper feed is noisy

3.1.1 Steps for Cleaning Print Head

1. Turn off the power to the printer and open the paper dispenser cover. Remove

the thermal paper roll.

1a. If the printer was just printing then wait for the print head to cool down.

2. With a soft cotton cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol (make sure there is no

dripping), wipe the thermal printer head gently and remove any dust or debris.

3. Wait for the rubbing alcohol to evaporate completely and then place the

thermal paper roll back in the printer. Close the paper dispenser cover and

print a test page.
