4. Plug the data connector of the receipt printer into an unused port on your computer.
Serial Receipt Printers: If you are connecting a serial printer, your computer's COM (serial) port must
have a unique address and IRQ (also referred to as an "interrupt") Use only the correct serial printer
cable to attach the printer to the computer (Star serial receipt printers use a DTE cable between the
computer and printer - this is NOT the same cable used between the computer and an external modem.)
Parallel Receipt Printers: For parallel printers, your computer's LPT (parallel) port must have a unique
address.
If you are uncertain about your computer's port availability and addresses, consult a qualified computer
technician for assistance.
5. For DP series printers, plug the appropriate power supply cord into the back of the printer. Plug the
other power supply connector into a standard power receptacle. For SP and TSP series printers, plug the
power cord from the printer into a standard power receptacle.
6. Refer to the manual that accompanies the receipt printer and install a roll of receipt paper. If your printer
model has a paper adjust lever, refer to the manual that accompanies the receipt printer and set the paper
adjust lever to the correct position.
7. If you are connecting a cash drawer to the receipt printer, refer to the instructions that accompany the
receipt printer and cash drawer and plug the cash drawer into the jack on the receipt printer.
8. Windows Printer Drivers: If you are using your Star receipt printer as a Windows printer in a Windows
program and need to install a Windows print driver, use one of the following procedures:
A. Install the Star receipt printer as a "Generic/Text" printer within Windows. This driver is already
included with Windows 95 and Windows 98.
B. Obtain the compressed Star printer driver file directly from Star Micronics internet site at:
http://www.starmicronics.com
9. Refer to the documentation supplied with your point of sale program to configure the computer's printer
port.
(When using Keystroke Point of Sale, at Main Menu: Configuration Manager, Setup, Printers).
Care and Maintenance:
On SP and DP series printers, replace the ribbon when print becomes light. Replace ribbon with
genuine Star ribbon only.
Occasionally clean the cabinet with a non-abrasive, tissue moistened with commercial window cleaner
such as Windex™. Wipe dry. DO NOT use solvent cleaners.
Your Star receipt printer is a precision instrument. While it is not exceptionally fragile, it will fail if
subjected to abuse. Do not unnecessarily drop it, shake it, jar it, or use it as a "tool." The printer is not
weatherproof - use indoors ONLY.
