These procedures are to be performed by qualified service personnel only. 1.0 Introduction The SP2200 Ticket Printer is a bidirectional dot matrix printer designed for use in electronic weighing, point- of-sale, and industrial applications. The SP2200 is available in 115 VAC, and 230 VAC models.
Request printing using the PRINT button on the SP2200 switch module 1.2.5 Time and Date The time and date option provides time and date stamping for tickets printed by the SP2200. The time and date module can be programmed using the optional switch module or a serial sending device.
Section 2.3 to verify installation. Setup Initial setup of the SP2200 consists of installing the print ribbon, setting the head gap, and running the printer self-test. See Section 2.4 for information about installing optional equipment.

Snap the cartridge into place, fitting 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 adjust- 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.

Once the print mechanism is removed, continue with the following steps: 1.
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.

IQ plus 310A Indicators The SP2200 can be connected to the IQ plus 310A indicator at baud rates of 1200 to 19.2 Kbps using either the printer port (RS-232 or 20mA current loop) or the EDP port (RS-232 only). Communications cable connections are made to the J4 terminal block in the 310A as shown in the following tables.
IQ plus 800/810 Indicators The SP2200 can be connected to the IQ plus 800 and 810 indicators at baud rates of 300 to 19.2 Kbps using either the printer port (RS-232 or 20mA current loop) or the EDP port (RS-232 only). Communications cable connections are made to the J7 terminal block in the indicator as shown in the following tables.
IQ plus 350 Indicators The SP2200 can be connected to the IQ plus 350 indicator at baud rates of 300 to 9600 bps. Communications cable connections are made to the terminal blocks in the IQ plus 350 as shown in the following tables.
IQ plus 510/710 Indicators The SP2200 can be connected to the IQ plus 510 and 710 indicators at baud rates of 300 to 9600 bps. Com- munications cable connections are made to the J4 and J5 terminal blocks in the indicators as shown in the following tables.
4.0 Configuring the SP2200 The SP2200 is configured using three banks of DIP switches, labeled S1, S2, and S3, on the back of the unit. Each bank contains 8 switches, numbered 1 through 8. Switches are referred to by bank and switch number;...
3-8 should be set off to prevent accidental changes to the programmed information. This switch has no effect on the use of the PRINT button. Communications Configuration Switches Figure 4-3 shows the DIP switches used to configure communications for the SP2200. These switches are described in the following sections. OFF = 0...
This switch is used for duplex serial communications only. 4.2.4 Toledo Interface Mode Switch 3-2, when set on, enables the Toledo interface mode when connecting the SP2200 to Toledo indicators. This mode allows the SP2200 to communicate with Toledo indicators and to format weight information in both standard and weight extraction modes.
4.3.2 Form Feed Switch 1-7 controls form feed direction. When set on, this switch causes the SP2200 to reverse the feed direction, pulling forms from the rear of the printer toward the front. 4.3.3 Eat <LF> after <CR> Switch 2-1 is used in standard input mode to convert double-spaced data to a single-spaced format. If the host device sends an ASCII carriage return (CR, hex 0D, decimal 13) followed by a line feed (LF, hex 0A, decimal 10), setting this switch on causes the printer to ignore the line feed control code.

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.
4.5.2 Setting Time and Date Using a Serial Command String If you have a PC or ASCII terminal attached to the SP2200, you can set the time and date using a serial command string. The format you use to enter the date and time must match the format set by DIP switch 2-6 (0=International, 1=US format).
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 following characters: colon, period, and space.
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 following: 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 first value to be printed.
You can use the switch module to set the number of line feeds between each print request handled by the SP2200. This function can be used to control spacing and align printing on labels or continuous forms. To set the number of line feeds between prints, set DIP switch 3-8 on to enable the switch module.
<ESC> command code followed by the alternate command. For IBM-compatible devices, the escape sequence consists of the key combination for the <ESC> command code (Ctrl-[) followed by a one- character alternate command.

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 hexadecimal values of the control codes, ASCII character desig- nation, and the comand 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 following procedure to check the power supply fuse: 1.
