Compatible IWTI Printers
Compatible line printers, label printers (and media supplies) are available from IWTI, including printer
models OIP-100, OTP-200, and OX-2130D, as described below.
OIP-100 is legacy impact RS232 line printer that prints using inked replaceable ribbons on normal "2"
roll paper (receipt), either single or dual ply (for original and copy).
OTP-200 is modern thermal RS232 line printer that prints using heat (not inked ribbons) on normal 2"
roll thermal paper or a special 2" thermal roll "liner-less" self-adhesive media for removable labeling.
OX-2130D is a thermal RS232 label printer that prints using heat on right sized nominal 2"x2" white
permanent thermal labels rolls with backing. IDC label format ONLY supports OX-2130D label printer.
Required RS232 cables for IDC scale to printer - are included with IWTI printers
Any IWTI printer purchased with IDC series counting scale with be configured, tested, and shipped
with all serial cables from scale to printer. See later in document for standard configuration.
Any IWTI printer purchased later for use with IDC scale previously purchased can be shipped with
"Configure for IDC".
tested cable for use with IDC scales, if printer purchase order is clearly marked
IDC configuration check or reset may still be required at install due to user settings changes.
Required RS232 cables for IDC scale to computer - are optional and availabe
Normally most RS232 bulkhead connectors on scales are DB9F and are wired to allow a normal
DB9M to DB9F straight-through cable to connect to DB9M serial connector on a Windows computer,
or DB9M connector on RS232 to USB adapter – for newer computer. This is not the case for IDC.
The IDC RS232 DB9F port requires a "null modem" (pin 2 to 3 crossed) wired connection for
computer communications. Null modem adapters (available from IWTI or other commercial sources)
may be added to "straight through" DB9M-DB9F serial cables for IDC use with computers.
Limited options for using non-IWTI printers with IDC
Non-IWTI line printers whether supplied by dealer or user may also work with IDC if careful
consideration is made of cabling requirements and minimum printer specifications. IWTI may provide
limited technical dealer or user support for third-party printer integration with IDC at its sole discretion
but in all cases, serial cabling will be the responsibility of the dealer or user.
Non-IWTI label printers whether supplied by dealer or user are not expected to work with IDC. The
IDC label print (page) format is permanently encoded in IDC firmware, and is programmed only for
the special label printer commands, and label media size supplied as option for IDC. There is no
IWTI, dealer, or user option for changing the IDC label format for use with any other label printer.
