I. IPP 144 - 40 G / IPP 144 - 40 GE 1. General Features The Thermal Graphics Printer IPP 144-40 G (Industrial Process Printer) is a device designed for outputting text, data and graphics, i.e. measured value, machine and process states, error messages, production data, etc. Two application examples: . . If connected to a digital voltmeter, the IPP 144-40 G records the measuring values (with date/time for the E version).
Each printer is addressable, which allows the connection of up to 31 devices to one sender device via a data line at the RS 485 interface, e.g. to a PLC. Review of the There are two version of the printer: The Basic Version model types IPP 144-40 G with the interface I and the Enhanced Version IPP 144-40 GE with the interfaces I and II. There are three option for the voltage supply: 12V DC (10V...19V DC) or 24V DC (19V...36V DC) or 110V/230V AC (switch-mode power supply: 85V...
A Windows-Programming software has been developed.This WindowsProgramming software will be available to progam the GE text memory, transfer user defined fonts or symbols and set the printer configuration software parameters. Also this software package includes actual Windows printer drivers. The software will be on CD-ROM. Basic Version The basic version IPP 144-40 G provides one serial interface IPP 144-40 G capable of receiving only. Return (handshake) messages to the sender are sent via hardware line.

The names A, B, C correspond to the EIA 485 - Standard: inactive or logical „1“; A > B logical „0“: B > A If an interface does not comply with that standard, the connections of A and B must be interchanged.
5. Operation 5.1. Operating Controls The numbers with the operating controls refer to the diagrams in chapter 3. LED „Alarm“ (4) LINE FEED / ENTER (2) The ALARM LED has two functions. 1. To indicate „end of paper“ or „no paper“ 2. To indicate the front door is open Examples: 1. The front door is closed. If this LED is lit, the printer has run out of paper. Insert a new paper roll; see section 5.2. „Replacing the Paper Roll“. the front press-button switches (LINE FEED & MENU keys) are deactivated. 2.
Paper cutting In order to tear off the paper, pull the paper quickly edge sideways and up. (1) Snap lock (9) Push this to the right hand side to open the front panel in order to be able to replace the paper roll or to set the slider switch S 101 which is used to set the desired interface (see chapter 4.2. „Interface selection“) or to set the RESET switch S 102.
5.2. Replacing the Paper Roll Proceed as described below: 1. For devices with a.c. powersupply be very careful. Warning: Dangerous voltage is accessible if replacing the paper roll after opening of the front panel ! 2. Push the snap lock to the right hand side and open the front panel. 3. Tilt the wire frame upwards; remove the old paper roll. 4. Insert new paper roll; make sure it rotates clockwise during printing (see left side of the figure). 5.
5.3. Menu Program All functions of the IPP 1444 are set via menu program using the „ENTER“ and „SELECT“ keys and are saved when the user quits the program. From then the IPP 144 automatically uses these parameters. The print format for the printout of the parameters is always NORMAL with 48 character per line, so that the parameters can be read during printing. The possible setting are explained in chapter 6. Entering the menu program Press the „MENU / SELECT“ key for approx. 3 seconds.
The menu program „Change Parameters“ Press „ENTER“ and „SELECT“ simultaneously for approx. 4 seconds; the IPP 144 brings up the first function which can be modified. (see changing parameters) The menu program „Change Parameters“ can be called in one of two ways: Without prior printing of the current parameters: Press both keys following „ACTUAL PARAMETERS ? ...“. With prior printing of the current parameters: Press both keys following „CHANGE PARAMETERS ?“.
Changing parameters The IPP 144 prints one of the changeable parameters Press „ENTER“ to accept the parameter and to move to the next function. Press „SELECT“ to display the next parameter option.
6. Adjustment 6.1. General Functions The various functions and device parameters are selected and set via the menu program (see chapter 5.3.). The appendix contains a summary. PRINT FORMAT NORMAL: The printout can be read during printing, the last print line is at the top. INVERSE: The printout is made top down, the last print line is at the bottom. In this case the printout is in the proper chronological order after the paper has been torn off.
INTERFACE SERIAL: This sets the printer for data transmission via serial interface. EMUL.EPS.LQ580 ESC/P2: This sets the printer for data transmission via EPSON LQ580 ESC/P2 protocol. EMUL.TALLY T2024: This sets the printer for data transmission via TALLY T2024 protocol. Print graphics directly from WINDOWS® It is possible to print graphics, such as bmp-, jpg- or tif-, directly from WINDOWS® programs. Set the printer INTERFACE of EMUL.EPS.LQ580 ESC/P2 or EMUL.TALLY T2024.
DATA FORMAT There are two formats available: 7 - bit- or 8 - bit - transmission 1 startbit / ... / parity / 1 stoppbit Attention: With 7 bit NO PARITY, the sender must be set to 2 stoppbits ! PARITY There are five options available: Even; Odd; Mark; Space; No parity. There is no check made. PRINTER ADDRESS Each printer IPP 144 - 40 G / IPP 144 - 40 GE can be addressed. This allows the concurrent supply of different data to several printers via one data line.
The printed cursor to the left of the 5 indicates that this position can be modified; in our example this is the decimal digit of the day. The „Select“ key is used to print the possible values successively; in our example this is 0, 1, 2 and 3, To accept the value press „Enter“; the cursor jumps to the next position to the right ... etc. >>> 24. 03. 04 Eventually, the current date is printed. Note: Incorrect entries, e.g. day 33 of a month, will not be accepted by the printer.
Set Summer Winter Time Mode Set one hour plus or minus for Summer/ Winter Time Mode following is displayed: CHANGE TIME W<->S NO ? If „YES“ is selected, the follow selectíons are displayed: „W ---> S (+1 h)“ „S ---> W (-1 h)“ After setting time the current time will been printed. Press „ENTER“ to store time or press „SELECT“ to set time again. It means: W...Winter Time S...Summer Time 6.4.
Serial protocol The IPP 144 is capable of printing date and time together with measured values or text as a protocol. In this case, date and time precede the printout. There are two options available: Each transmission is preceded with the date/time (always). Date and time only precede the transmission if control command has been received.
7. Functional Description 7.1. Start Printing To start the printing, the IPP 144-40 G expects only the character Carriage return, Enter Note: alone has by itself no effect combined with other control characters (calling text, send clock, start print interval -see following sections). If these characters are transmitted without a print triggering character, the IPP 144 - 40 G prints them after approx. 3 seconds. Other widely used print trigger characters such as Form feed are ignored. 7.2.
Address / ASCII character assignment example: Address Address in Protocol (HEX) 0 1 . . . 30 31 Protocol & Text 31 . . . 4E 4F corresponding ASCII - character without addressing 1 . . . N O The addressing protocol is: address characters ... A text of more than one line is possible. ( , , see appendix). A transmission is only accepted if the sequence address is used ! e.g.
Print interval (serial) During the preset wait delay the interface is not ready to receive. After expiry of the wait delay the RTS signal (or XON) becomes active again and requests the subsequent transmission. The next interval begins upon receiving of or . on its own is not accepted. XON / XOFF The report functions „Printer read/not ready“ are handled by this protocol if no handshake lines are connected (RS 232 C, RS 422 or RS 485).
With Handshake, provided RTS (or XON/XOFF protocol) is used to control the data transmitter: Data input: 1 2 3 Actual Print-out: Machine No. 3 Automatic mode Status NORMAL pre-stored Text No. 1 pre-stored Text No. 2 pre-stored Text No. 3 7.4. Version E (IPP 144 - 40 GE) 7.4.1.Text Entry Text can only be entered via interface II. The maximum text length is 40 characters; if the text length exceeds 40 characters only the first 40 characters are saved.
Reserving space for measured variables In order to be able to insert measured value (variables) into text afterwards, the location within the text must be marked using „Ctrl V“, which reserves 6 spaces into which any characters may be entered, since they are overwritten at a later time anyway; they are merely wildcards. Example: Entry: TEMPERATURE XXXXX °C counts as one digit, so you only have to enter 5 wildcard characters. The printout would look like this: TEMPERATURE 263,45 °C.
7.4.2. Text Output Calling via serial interface In order to print text, the printer must receive a transmission with the following format: < Ctrl C > text number < CR > The printer looks up the stored text related with that number and prints it. If there is no such text, nothing is printed. Important notes: . on its own does not start the printing ! . Between several text calls in a row there has to be a gap of least 2 seconds to make sure no text is skipped during printing ! .
