  • Page 7: Power Requirement

    Manual EDITION G Recommendations Power requirement Power consumption for thermal printers is fairly high. To ensure good printing result it is recommended to use a power supply that can provide at least 7.5 A peak (@26.4V). Recommendations are based on meas- urements at the worst case condition of 26.4V supply voltage while printing a blackline.

  • Page 8: Usb Version

    Manual EDITION G Recommendations USB Version WHQL-certified USB drivers as well as further drivers for the usual operating systems are available on re- quest or can be found at the webpage of the USB-controller's manufacturer: http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm After the installation of the driver it is possible to communicate with the printer either over a virtual COM- port (the set Baudrate does not matter) or via a software API, which is realized as a DLL and available for C/ C++, C#, VB and Delphi.

  • Page 19: External Sensors

    Manual EDITION G External Sensors External Sensors The printer controller has three connections for external sensors. Near End Sensor Usually, the near-end state can be detected by monitoring blackmarks. If a blackmark can't be used an additional sensor can be installed to the paper roll holder to detect the near end state.
