  • Page 6: Product Presentation

    SW98049 Figure 1. Printer exterior, side view The TTP 7000 is a kiosk printer using direct thermal printing. The print speed is up to 75 mm per second. The printer has an integrated control board that communicates with the host computer through an IEEE-1284 bi-directional parallel port, an USB port, or an optional serial port.

    To feed paper: 1. Press and hold the button, paper-feed starts. 2. Release the button to stop paper feed. You can also use the feed-forward button to print a self-test receipt. See page 17. 0308 TTP 7000 Kiosk Printer – Technical Manual...

  • Page 8: Installation

    3 INSTALLATION 3.1 Installation considerations The TTP 7000 printer should be installed in some kind of enclosure such as a self-service kiosk. The illustration below gives an example of a printer-mounting shelf. See also "Printer dimensions" on page 74. Top view 4.2 (4x)

  • Page 9: Connecting To The Computer

    Connector J10 is an IEEE-1284 type C, 36-pole mini Centronics, with clip latches. See Table 10 for pin assignment of J10. Use only certified cables marked IEEE-1284. See page 77 for Swecoin ordering number. You can also use commercially available cables such as AMP 158393-3.
  • Page 10 USB connectors are recognized by the following symbol: Connector J13 is a 4-pin USB type B connector. See Table 14 for pin assignment. A suitable cable is available from Swecoin, see page 77 for ordering number. You can also use commercially available cables such as AMP 621775-4.

    The IEEE-1284 standards define 5 modes of operation: 1. Compatibility Mode. 2. Nibble Mode. 3. Byte Mode (protocol not implemented in TTP 7000). 4. EPP Mode, Enhanced Parallel Port. 5. ECP Mode, Extended Capabilities Port. NOTE! – If you intend to use any other mode than Compatibility Mode, we recommend you to get the documents for the IEEE-1284 standards, and study them thoroughly.
