TMP500 mechanism is sure to provide many years of reliable service. The guillotine-style auto cutter of the TUP500 ensures crisp cuts with paper thicknesses ranging from 0.065 mm to 0.15 mm. The PR521 presenter of the TUP500 loops the document while printing is in process. When printing has finished, the document is cut and then delivered out of the presenter.
Applications The TUP/TMP500 printer can be implemented in an array of different kiosk applications ranging from ATM/Banking to gift registries to voting systems. Below are just a few examples of where the TUP/TMP500 printer can be implemented. The possibilities are endless.
Paper Roll Holder: The TUP500 is designed to accommodate paper rolls of up to 6” diameter in its standard configuration. The included 1 and 2-inch paper roll core adapters provide the ultimate in paper handling versatility.

These sensors allow the presenter to loop a document while it is printing, present the document, and finally capture or eject the document as printing finishes. In addition, the three sensors allow the TUP500’s presenter to keep a running tally of the number of documents presented and/or captured.
Customizable Options The TUP500 can be programmed to use one or all of the customizable options listed below to fit your specific application needs. It is with these numerous options that the TUP500 is the most versatile and flexible kiosk printer.
Configurations The TUP500 can be configured in many different ways. Each of these configurations offers unique features that can be invaluable to many applications. Mounting of the TUP500 is simple using the multiple mounting holes built-in to the base of the unit.

The standard configuration for the TUP992 has the control box mounted underneath the unit. This configuration minimizes the overall width of the unit and places the control panel facing towards the paper outlet at the front of the unit. Here, the control box has been moved to the side of the unit. While this configuration does increase the overall width of the unit, it also puts the control panel facing upwards.

Adding the RHU-T500 large paper roll holder unit allows for use of a larger paper roll up to 10 inches in diameter. While this configuration does offer the largest paper roll it also requires a rather deep installation. Mounting the RHU-T500 underneath the TUP992 allows for up to an 8-inch diameter paper roll while still maintaining a relatively low horizontal depth of the enclosure.
RHU-T500 Vertical Layout When using the RHU-T500 the vertical layout, it is necessary to mount the printer to the RHU-T500. Use the printer unit holes (a, b, c and d) and the RHU-T500 unit holes (a, b, c and d) to join the units together. When doing so, align A with A, b with b, and so on. Once the two units are joined, use the holes (A, B, C and D) shown below to secure the entire unit.

Mounting from the Printer Rear Use the four holes pos j, h, I, g shown in fig 8.2B to fasten the printer mechanism. Also, D and C are for positioning the printer mechanism. Use self- tapping screws to fasten the printer mechanism. Control the tightening torque to avoid damaging the threads of the screws when tightening. Fig.
