Snap the cartridge into place, fi tting the hole in the ribbon take-up knob over the ribbon drive gear. If necessary, adjust the ribbon take-up knob to align the cartridge gear with the ribbon drive gear.
2.2.2 Setting the Head Gap The SP2200 is designed to accept forms up to a thickness of .024 inches (0.609 mm). The head gap ad just - ment lever (Figure 2-4) can be set to print up to 5-part forms. The six detents allow a head gap range of .004 to .024 inches in .004-inch increments.
RS-232, 20mA current loop, and RS-422A interfaces. Notes: 1. You must use a separate test plug for each of the interfaces used by the SP2200. A test plug wired for both RS-232 and 20mA current loop will not verify operation of the 20mA circuit.

A parallel communications interface is also available for use with host devices with parallel printer ports. Only ASCII-encoded data is supported by the SP2200. The SP2200 can be connected to host devices using other data formats, but a protocol converter must be used to convert the data to ASCII encoding before the SP2200 can process the data.

Switch 3-2, when set on, enables the Toledo interface mode when connecting the SP2200 to Toledo in di ca tors. This mode allows the SP2200 to communicate with Toledo indicators and to format weight information in both standard and weight extraction modes. Shift-in/shift-out (SO/SI) characters are also supported.

Setting the Time and Date If the time and date module is installed in the SP2200, you can set the time and date using either the switch module (if installed) or a serial input device such as a PC or ASCII terminal.
Setting ID Codes If the switch module is installed in the SP2200, you can enter ID codes to be printed with weight data when the printer is in weight extraction mode. ID codes must be 8 digits in length and use only the digits 0 through 9 and the fol low ing char ac ters: colon, period, and space.
Example: To enter a constant ID code of 487561, you would enter the following characters, pressing the SET button after each character. The ID code entered must be eight characters in length. Use leading zeroes or spaces for codes of less than eight characters. In the example below, the C characters are used to insert two spaces before the ID code.
Example 2: You can set an ID code to increment from any value entered as a constant ID code. For example, to set the SP2200 to increment through values of 100 to 99999, do the fol low ing: 1) Enter the starting value as a constant ID code: Because the starting value is also incremented, you must enter a value of one less than the fi...

The following table shows the key combinations used by IBM-compatible devices to enter control codes for the SP2200. The table lists the decimal and hexa dec i mal values of the control codes, ASCII character des ig - na tion, and the command issued to the SP2200 by the control code.
Fuse Replacement If the SP2200 will not power on, use the following procedures to check the line fuses, power supply fuse, then the 5 volt supply fuse on the CPU board. 6.3.1 Line Fuses To replace line fuses in the SP2200, do the following: 1.
6.3.2 AC Power Supply Current Limiting Fuse The SP2200 uses a 5A fuse to limit current output of the power supply. If the line fuses are good but the SP2200 does not power up when connected to the power source, use the fol low ing procedure to check the power supply fuse: 1.
