Page 10: Description Of Components And Operation
Figure 4 3.3. Description of Components and Operation The key components or modules to the XPM 200HR™ family of thermal printers are the print mechanism, controller and optional presenter. Please refer to Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4. The thermal printhead is positioned above the platen. With the print mechanism closed, the platen acts as a roller to advance the paper at the same time as it acts as a surface against which the spring-loaded printhead presses the paper to insure good thermal conductivity. - Page 11 Another is to simply eject the partial printout out the rear of the printer. If the XPM 200HR is equipped with a presenter, paper loading is as described above. When a printout is generated, it exits the printer mechanism and activates a sensor at the entrance to the presenter.

Page 12: Location Of Controls And Connectors
There are several versions of the XPM 200HR controller, depending upon the features ordered. One significant difference between them is the additional connector for controlling the optional loop presenter. Figure 6 shows the XPM 200HR controller with the connectors labeled. These consist of the USB interface, the power connection, the thermal printhead connection, the paper pre-end sensor inputs (including weekend sensors), the print mechanism connections (all the sensors, switches, etc. -

Printer Access Control Figure 1 shows a view of the print mechanism and identifies the Printer Access Control. By pressing the Printer Access Control downward, the upper print mechanism will be released and it can be lifted into the position shown in figure 7. -

There are 19 different possible positions for this sensor. possible positions of these sensors are detailed in Figure 13. The XPM 200HR™ can also use a through-beam sensor. This type of sensor has a separate light source and detector. The light is transmitted across the paper path into a prism, which redirects it back across the paper path into the detector. -
Page 15: Printhead Raised" Sensor
Because this may cause permanent damage to the printer, the XPM 200HR™ firmware will prevent printing or paper loading if the head is up. The output of this microswitch pair is also available via the Query function. See the XPM 200HR™... - Page 16 Pin 20 – PWE Sensor Signal 2 (B2) Figure 9 Please note that the XPM 200HR™ does nothing more with the PPE, PWE and AUX signals than report their status through the interface. For this reason, these inputs are not limited to being used for PPE or PWE. Any one of them may be used to detect the status of a door, for example, or any other status that can be sensed via a microswitch or (in the case of the PPE inputs) an appropriate optical sensor.

XPM 200HR™ Thermal Printer Family 3.5.8. LED Indicators There are two LED indicators in the XPM 200HR™ series printers, located on the opposite side of the controller board near the USB connector. These LEDs are used to signal some status information concerning the XPM 200HR™ printer. -

ASCII. In our 40 character example, assuming a 12 x 20 pixel character, the Hengstler XPM 200HR™ printer would require 1,600 bytes to print one line. (Please note that these are estimates, and that various compression routines also impact the print speed.) The advantage of Graphic printing, then, is the ability to print anything;... -
Page 19: Installation
Installation 6.1. Function Please note that the XPM 200HR™ printer is a module designed to be integrated into a system and to be operated only as a part of that system, for example, in a kiosk. All technical specifications and instructions contained in this manual and related documentation must be considered and complied with in order to achieve successful operation in the completed system. -
Page 20: Mounting Controller
Penetrating liquids, dust or paper scraps may cause faults or short circuits. The XPM 200HR controller, as well as the complete system, should not be installed near high frequency devices or strong magnetic fields. The XPM 200HR controller, as well as the complete system, contains sensitive mechanical and electronic components which could be damaged or destroyed by extreme vibration or shock, such as that caused by impact or dropping. -

Page 22: Interfacing
XPM 200HR™ Thermal Printer Family 6.4.2. Interfacing The USB versions of the XPM 200HR™ printer employ a standard USB interface cable (5 pin Mini-B connector on the printer end) to communicate from the host to the printer. Be sure that the Mini-B connector is fully engaged with the mating connector on the printer. -

8.5. Burn Time Correction The XPM 200HR™ family of printers include a feature that will adjust burn time automatically depending upon ambient temperature. Burn Time Correction allows the adjustment of these burn times to “tune” the printer to maximum performance for any given paper, thereby improving print quality but having little effect on current consumption. -
Page 27: Troubleshooting
(including foreign contamination) to the surface of the printhead substrate should be avoided to prevent printhead damage. Clean the XPM 200HR™ whenever it becomes dusty, as paper dust will reduce the friction of the platen and cause the print quality to deteriorate. -

This type of sensor has a separate light source and detector. The light is transmitted across the paper path into a prism, which redirects it back across the paper path into the detector. When the light is blocked and cannot reach the detector, the printer reports that paper is present.
