  • Page 5 Please read carefully and fully understand this user’s manual when you design printers or terminals using the printer mechanism (SMP 6200II). BIXOLON is not responsible for any damage or loss occurred due to your company’s configuration parts or usage not included in this user’s manual or improper handling of the printer mechanism.
  • Page 6 SMP6200II ※ Safety Precautions Take care with the following items when designing products such as terminals using the printer mechanism, and include precautions required for user’s manual so that users of the products such as terminals can use the products safely.
  • Page 7 SMP6200II f) Precaution about temperature rise of the motor The temperature of step motor and the peripheral device is very high during or right after printing. Design the outer case so that users do not get a burn injury by touching the motor.
  • Page 8 SMP6200II ※ Design Precautions Take precautions with the following items when designing products such as terminals using the printer mechanism. a) The sequence of applying power is as follows. - Startup: Apply Vdd and then apply Vp - Shutdown: Cut off Vp and cut off Vdd b) Surge voltage between Vp and GND must be lower than 10 V.
  • Page 9 SMP6200II n) In order to prevent degradation of printing quality due to reverse rotation of the paper drive system, install/remove the platen roller block or feed the thermal paper by more than 20 steps during initialization after cutting using the cutter.
  • Page 10 SMP6200II ※ Handling Precautions Incorrect handling of the printer mechanism will reduce the efficiency and damage the system. Precaution must be taken with the following. * When paper other than specified thermal paper is used. - Printing quality may drop due to low thermal sensitivity.
  • Page 11 SMP6200II h) When printing at high speed in an environment of low temperature or high humidity, water drops might form on the printer mechanism due to steam generated by the thermal paper and the thermal paper might be damaged. Do not apply power until the water drops are completely dried out.
  • Page 12 SMP6200II ■ Characteristics of SMP6200II Printer Mechanism This printer mechanism has the following characteristics. * Integrated cutter - Guillotine-type cutter is included. * High speed printing - Printing speed can be up to 150mm/s printing. * High resolution printing - Smooth and accurate printing using the high-density printing head of 8 dots/mm.
