Connecting the Cables

Please connect up to four cables to the printer. They all connect to the

connector panel on the back of the printer, which is shown below:

Notes:

 There is a caution label above the drawer kick-out connector.

Depending on the interface installed, the interface connector on your

printer may look different from the one illustrated.

 Before connecting any of the cables, make sure that both the printer

and the computer are turned off.

Connecting the computer

You need an appropriate interface cable.

1. Plug the cable connector securely into the printer’s interface

connector.

2. If the printer has a serial interface, tighten the screws on both sides

of the cable connector.

If the printer ahs a parallel interface, squeeze the wire clip on the

printer together until they lock in place on both sides of the

connector.

3. Attach the other end of the cable to the computer.

Connecting the drawer

WARNING:

 Use a drawer that matches the printer specification. Using an

improper drawer may damage the drawer as well as the printer.

CAUTION:

 Do not connect a telephone line to the drawer kick-out connector;

otherwise the printer and the telephone line may be damaged.

Plug the drawer cable into the drawer kick-out connector on the

back of the printer next to the power supply connector.

WARNING:

 Make sure that you use the optional +24V power supply or

equivalent for your printer. Using an incorrect power supply may

caused fire or electrical shock.

CAUTION:

 When connecting or disconnecting the power supply from the printer,

make sure that the power supply is not plugged into an electrical

outlet. Otherwise you may damage the power supply or the printer.

 If the power supply’s rated voltage and your outlet’s voltage do not

match, contact your dealer for assistance. Do not plug in the power

cord. Otherwise, you may damage the power supply or the printer.

1. Make sure that the printer’s power switch is turned off, and the

power supply’s power cord is unplugged from the electrical

outlet.

2. Check the label on the power supply to make sure that the

voltage required by the power supply matches that of your

electrical outlet.

3. Plug in the power supply’s cable as shown below. Notice that

the flat side of the plug faces down.

Adjustments and Settings

The TM200 Series are set up at the factory to be appropriate for

almost all users. It does, however, offer some settings for users

with special requirements.

It has DIP switches that allow you to change communication

settings, such as handshaking and parity check, as well as print

density.

The TM200 Series also have a near-end sensor for the paper.

This can give you a warning when the paper is almost out. If you

find that there is not enough paper remaining on the roll when the

near-end detector is triggered, you can change the near-end

sensor setting.

See Appendix A if you need to make any of these changes.
