INTRODUCTION • Only use the printer on hard surfaces and in environments that guarantee proper ventilation. (Tab.A.3)to its • Make sure the printer is placed in such a way as to avoid damage wiring. • Use the type of electrical power supply indicated on the printer label. If in doubt, contact your retailer. • Do not block the ventilation openings. • Do not introduce foreign objects of any kind into the printer as this could cause a short circuit or damage parts that could jeopardize printer functioning.

INTRODUCTION PRINTER FEATURES The KPM210-216 is an A4/US letter format thermal printer designed (Tab.A.3) for Internet, information and reservation kiosks and automatic teller (ATM) machines. It is available in two models: 204 dpi (8 dots/mm) thermal printing mechanism version and 300 dpi (11.8 dots/mm) thermal printing mechanism version. Both versions utilize 210/216 mm-wide paper rolls.
INTRODUCTION PRINTER DESCRIPTION The KPM210/216 printer (fig.2) is comprised of a metal frame, printing mechanism, a cutter and an ejector Located on the keypad are the following keys: LINE FEED (1), FORM FEED (2) and status LED (3). • LINE FEED key. When the LINE FEED key is pressed, the printer advances the paper so that the paper may be inserted in the printing mechanism. During power-up, if the LINE FEED key is held down, the printer will perform the FONT TEST routine. • FORM FEED key.

1. INSTALLATION AND USE 1.1 CONNECTIONS 1 2 (Fig.1.1) 1.1.1 Power Supply The printer is equipped with an external power supply outlet (see Fig. 1.1). The connector pin configuration is as follows: PIN SIGNAL 1 GND 2 + 24 V (Tab.1.1) WARNING: Respect power supply polarity. www.ipcprint.
1. INSTALLATION AND USE 1.2 CONFIGURATION This printer permits the configuration of default parameters. The printer’s (Tab.A.3) configurable parameters are: • • • • • • • • • • • • Interface (1): RS232D, USB (if present). Baud Rate (2): 57600, 38400, 19200D, 9600, 4800, 2400, 1200. Data length (2): 7, 8D bits/char. Parity (2): NoneD, even or odd. Handshaking (2): XON/XOFFD or Hardware. Receive buffer size (2): 16, 64, 1K, 4K, 8KD bytes. Autofeed: CR deactivatedD or CR activated.
1. INSTALLATION AND USE When the receive buffer is full, if handshaking is set to XON/XOFF, the printer sends the XOFF ($13) on the serial port. When the receive buffer has cleared once again, if handshaking is set to XON/XOFF, the printer sends the XON ($11) on the serial port. 1.3 HEXADECIMAL DUMP This function is used to display the characters received from the communications port; the printer prints out both the hexadecimal code received as well as the corresponding ASCII code.
