  • Page 8: About The 7193 Printer

    7193 Owner’s Guide About the 7193 Printer The 7193 thermal receipt printer is fast (at 600 lines per minute), quiet, and very reliable. With thermal printing technology, there is no ribbon cassette to change, and paper loading is extremely simple. The printer is small enough to fit almost anywhere and is easy to use with the receipt exiting from the top.

  • Page 9: Models

    About the 7193 Printer Models There are several models of the 7193 depending on the communication interface and the combination of options selected. Communication Interfaces RS-232C Parallel See the “Communication” chapter later in this book for more information. Options The following options are available:...

  • Page 10: Thermal Printhead

    Interleaved 2 of 5 Codabar Thermal Printhead The 7193 uses a thermal printhead which is extremely fast and quiet. Because it uses heat to print directly on paper, there is no cassette or ribbon to change, eliminating soiled fingers and paper dust.

  • Page 35: Solving Problems

    7193 Owner’s Guide Solving Problems The 7193 printer is a simple, generally trouble-free printer, but from time to time minor problems may occur. For example, the power supply may be interrupted or the printhead may overheat for some reason. Lights on the operator panel will signal that something may not be operating properly: one green light and one red light may either flash or glow continuously as described in the following table and on the following pages.

  • Page 36: Solving Problems

    “Contacting a Service Representative” on the next page. Paper Out Replace the paper roll. Do not operate the printer or host system if the printer runs out of paper. The printer will not operate without paper, but it may continue to accept data from the host system.

  • Page 37: Contacting A Service Representative

    “Contacting a Service Representative” on this page. No Power to Printer or Power Voltages Incorrect The power being supplied to the printer is not in the normal range. Check that all connections are correct. Make sure the power supply is plugged in and that the printer is on-line.

  • Page 38: Diagnostics

    Information about the test is available to the communication interface through the commands. If the printer has not been turned on before, or a new EEROM has been installed, the default values for the printer settings (set in Level 1 Diagnostics) will be loaded into the EEROM.

  • Page 39: Level 1 Diagnostics

    (although the printer still receives power, this is sufficient for changing the DIP switches) The settings can only be changed when the printer is in level 1 diagnostics (setup mode): switch 1 must be set to On. Turn the power back on. The printer beeps, and the On Line light (green) blinks.

  • Page 40: Diagnostics

    See “Testing The Printer” On Page 23. 1. Turn the power off. 2. Turn the printer over and note what the current DIP switch settings are. 3. Set the switches to the settings in the table you want for data reception errors and the data buffer.

  • Page 41: Setting Printhead Resistance

    See “Testing The Printer” On Page 23. 1. Turn the power off. 2. Turn the printer over and note what the current DIP switch settings are. 3. Set the switches to the settings in the table that match the letter stamped on the heatsink in back of the printhead.

    See “Testing The Printer” On Page 23. 1. Turn the power off. 2. Turn the printer over and note what the current DIP switch settings are. 3. Set the switches to the settings in the table that match the cut distance value you want (the higher the number, the longer the cut ).

  • Page 44: Ignoring/Using The Carriage Return

    7193 Owner’s Guide Ignoring/Using the Carriage Return This function allows the printer to ignore or use the Carriage Return (Hex 0D) command depending on the application. Some applications expect the command to be ignored while others use the command as a print command.

  • Page 45: Running The Data Scope Mode

    Diagnostics Running the Data Scope Mode This test prints a Hex dump of all data sent to the printer: “1” prints as Hex 31, “A” as Hex 41 and so on. This helps troubleshoot communication problems, and runs during a normal host application (after being enabled in level 1 diagnostics).
  • Page 46 4. Turn the power off. 5. Set the DIP switches to the former settings. DIP switch 1 must be Off to return the printer to the on-line mode. 6. Turn the power back on. The printer is on-line and can communicate normally with the host system.

  • Page 47: Testing Receipt Printing

    5. Press the Paper Feed button to print the sample receipt or the character sets (whichever was selected). 6. Press the Paper Feed button or turn the printer off to stop the test. 7. Turn the power off. 8. Set the DIP switches to the former settings.

  • Page 48: Level 2 Diagnostics

    The lights on the operator panel will signal when these conditions occur as well as indicate what state or mode the printer is in. See “Solving Problems” earlier in this book for a table describing the operator panel lights and for general troubleshooting information.

  • Page 49: Communication Interfaces

    Interfaces In order for the printer to communicate with the host, a communication link must be set up. The 7193 supports the following three communication interfaces: RS-232C Interface Parallel Interface Each of these has a protocol associated with it that the host must understand and adhere to.

  • Page 50: Rs-232C Interface

    For DTR/DSR, changes in the DTR/DSR signal coordinate the information flow. The RS-232C version of the 7193 offers the standard options which are selected with the DIP switches. The switch settings are shown on page 50.

  • Page 51: Xon/Xoff Protocol

    XON/XOFF Protocol The XON/XOFF characters coordinate the information transfer between the printer and the host system. The printer sends an XON character when it is ready to receive data and it sends an XOFF character when it cannot accept any more data.

  • Page 52: Rs-232C Technical Specifications

    RXD 2 Not Used 1 With RS-232C, the 7193 is always remotely powered. The following illustration shows the power cable connector and pin assignments. The power cable connector is 6-pin mini DIN plug and is located in the small cavity under the printer at the front.

  • Page 92 When the printer is busy due simply to buffer full (that is, it can’t print data as fast as it can receive it), then data continues to be processed out of the buffer at approximately print speed and the Real Time commands will eventually get flushed out.
  • Page 93 Now if the cover is open or the paper is exhausted, the 7193 printer will still accept data, respond to the batch mode status commands (ESC v and ESC u), handle the cash drawer commands, and not go busy until it actually tries to execute a print command.

  • Page 102 7193 Owner’s Guide Print Bar Code Selects the bar code type and prints a bar code for the ASCII characters entered. When data is present in the print buffer, the command is ignored. The required paper feeding is performed, regardless of the current line spacing. If the width exceeds one line, the excess data is not printed.
  • Page 103 The number of characters to be encoded is variable and is specified by n. Following n are the data bytes: dn. The printer processes n bytes from the next character data as bar code data. The first data byte must be a Start code: d1 = 103-105.

    7193 Owner’s Guide Density of Receipt Print Lines When the 7193 prints high density print lines (text or graphics), it automatically slows down to a rate slower than 600 lines per minute. High density print lines are defined as lines with over 57% of the dots printing on the line (there are 448 total dot columns on the print station).
