  • Page 5: Chapter 1: Outline

    Chapter 1: Outline The SCP700 Series combines both a quick, quiet and highly reliable thermal receipt printer with an impact dot slip printer, enabling printing on single or multiple sheets of slip paper of an unspecified size. The thermal printer enables receipt printing without a thermal ribbon and makes paper insertion extremely easy.

  • Page 6: Chapter 2: Dip Switch Settings

    Chapter 2: DIP Switch Settings The printer’s DIP switches let you change communications parameters, thermal printing density, interface type, input buffer size, and emulation. This chapter explains the settings you can make and tells you how to actually change DIP switch settings.

  • Page 7: Available Dip Switch Settings

    Carefully work the document table loose and slide it to the left of the printer out of the way. It is not necessary to remove the document table complete, just move it enough so you can get at the DIP switches inside. After the document table is opened sufficiently, use a thin flat-blade screwdriver or some other similar object to change DIP switch settings.

  • Page 11: Chapter 4: Control Panel Operations

    Chapter 4: Control Panel Operations The control panel gives you some push-button control over the printer’s receipt and slip printer operations. It also includes indicator lights, which tell you the current status of the printer at a glance. Indicator lights The following table describes the meaning of indicator lights when it is on, off, or flashing.

  • Page 12: Buttons

    Buttons The following table describes the function of the two control buttons of the control panel. Button RECEIPT SLIP/RESUME Producing a test print The following procedure can be used at any time to test the receipt printer and the slip printer. Turn on the printer and insert a piece of paper into the slip printer.

  • Page 13: Adjusting The Slip Printer's Dot Alignment

    Adjusting the slip printer’s dot alignment You may never have to use the procedure described in this section, but after you have been using your printer for some time you may find that the dots of some graphics do not align correctly. For example, what should look like: may come out looking like one of the following: This is caused when mechanical parts of the printer get out of alignment.
  • Page 14 To exit this mode, press the SLIP/RESUME button. The dot alignment adjust mode setting is stored in the memory, a pattern using the selected setting, followed by “Adjust Completed” is printed, and the printer ejects the slip paper. Note: If you press the SLIP/RESUME button without pressing the RECEIPT button after entering the Dot Alignment Adjust Mode, the printer assumes that you do not want make any settings, so it prints the message “Adjust Complete!”...

  • Page 15: Hexadecimal Dump

    Hexadecimal dump This procedure prints in hexadecimal format all codes (character codes and control codes) that are sent to the printer by the computer. The printer does not execute any control codes (such as 0A - linefeed), it just prints them out. The hexadecimal dump is useful when you are writing programs for printer control.
