XPM 80™ Thermal Printer Family

6.3. Wiring

Power is connected to the XPM 80™ thermal printer via a JST connector. The

connector consists of a JST VHR-4N shell and two SVH-21T-P1.1 contacts. Wiring is

as follows:

Please note that the XPM 80™ comes with both USB and RS-232 serial connectors

installed. Only one interface is selected for data communication with the printer,

based on how the printer was ordered and configured before shipment.

Also, please note that in some versions of XPM 80™, the USB, RS-232 serial and

PPE connectors may be duplicated on Side B, under the Dual-Feed unit. If this is the

case, only the Side A or the Side B interface connector may be used, not both. See

the section "Paper Pre-End" for details concerning use of two PPE connectors.

RS-232 Serial

The serial versions of the XPM 80™ printer are shipped with the following RS-232

serial settings as default: 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, one stop bit, no parity, hardware

flow control, and host transmission not blocked. (This last feature is intended for use

with lower sophistication hosts that cannot read the XPM 80™ printer's status data. It

uses the hardware handshake lines to prevent the host from sending more data if the

printer registers "paper out".)



The serial interface uses a standard RJ-12 connector to make the RS-232

connection. Hengstler can provide a serial cable for direct connection to PCs with a

DB-9 connector on one end. The wiring is as follows, should it be necessary to

fabricate such a cable. Cable length must be limited to under 3 meters.
