The Model ZG110 printer is not a washdown unit. Do not install near water! 1.6 Routine Maintenance Always turn off the ZG110 and isolate from the power supply before starting any routine maintenance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
1.8.1 Alternative Power Supply Arrangements The ZG110 is designed to be operated from a 9V to 36V voltage source that is capable of supplying the primary power for the printer. The electrical specification for the power supply input of the ZG110 printer is:...
A single socket on the rear of the printer combines all data and charger functions. Printer side: Hosiden TCS7167 6-way Socket (mini-DIN style) User side: Hosiden TCP7160 6-way Plug & Cable or equivalent Figure 2.1 Connector view from rear of printer ZG110 Impact Printer User Instructions...
Be sure the PC has a D-type serial connector; otherwise, a serial to USB converter will need to be used. Use one of the two serial ports for the ZG110, whichever is free. Check that the printer wakes up when the paper feed button is pressed, and that it produces a Self Test print.
MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1 [ENTER] This will set up the port (COM1:) to 9600 baud, No parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bits which is the default setting for the ZG110. Send some data to the printer from your computer An easy way to do this from the DOS prompt is to type: DIR >COM1: [ENTER]...
In Idle Mode, the Paper Feed Button advances paper at the Fast Feed rate In Printing Mode, the Paper Feed Button is ignored 3.3 LED Indications The LED indicator at the front of the ZG110 provides status information by a number of color combinations. 3.3.1 Alternative LED Pattern Set The ZG110 is supplied with an alternative LED pattern set optimized for use with a direct power pack.
3.4 Printing Method The ZG110 has the following characteristics: Characters Dots Per Print Fast Feed Printer Type Mech Dot Width per Line Line Height Speed Speed ZG110 M-190 0.33 mm 0.37 mm 2.5 Line/s 6.0 mm/s Characters are 5 dots wide with a 1 dot space between adjacent characters, and most are 7 dots high.
Some battery powered host equipment present the same output signal when they go to sleep. By default the ZG110 will ignore this condition, but this type of host behavior may result in one or more spurious characters being received by the ZG110.
Executed immediately when received. Printing may be interrupted part way through a line. All Print Mode settings are cleared. The ZG110 is actually RESET when the CAN code is received, so any data sent immediately following the CAN code will be lost. The printer transmits an XON character when it is ready to receive data again.

Print Modes may be combined as required, but affect entire print lines. It is not possible, for example, to mix Double Width and Normal Width text on the same print line. Each of these Print Modes remains in force until actively cancelled. ZG110 Impact Printer User Instructions...
Paper and Ribbons The ZG110 is normally supplied with a separate paper roll and fitted with a black ribbon. Paper rolls must be 57.5 ±0.5mm, and of maximum diameter 60mm. Alternative paper roll sizes, alternative paper roll types (e.g. two-part paper, 'action' paper, etc) and commodity packs, containing several standard paper rolls and ribbons, are all available.
Allow enough to feed the paper through the exit slot, and close the lid. Tear off any excess by pulling the paper sharply towards you across the serrated edges. If possible, perform a test print to ensure that all is well. ZG110 Impact Printer User Instructions...
