Cameo 2 with optional Mag Stripe Reader and IR interface. Cameo 2SC with Mag Stripe Reader, Smart Card Reader and IR interface.
INTRODUCTION The Cameo™2, Cameo 2SC , Cameo 3, Cameo 3SC and Cameo 3N Mobile Printers utilize the latest in direct thermal printing technology. These products are designed for mobile printing applications and their compact size is ideally suited to print receipts and for many other situations where on-site printing is required. Additionally, CameoSC printers can be ordered with an integrated magnetic stripe reader (MSR) and/or a Smartcard reader.
CONTROLS Keypad Functions On Switch: momentary action turns on unit Power Light: Indicates unit is turned on Flashing light indicates low battery Feed Switch: Advances media when held down. Status Light: Steady light indicates printer is either out of media, or media cover is open. Flashing during data transmission between host and printer indicates normal wireless operation. IR Window; must be aligned with corresponding window on host for IR communications to occur.
BATTERIES AND CHARGING Conditioning Battery Packs Cameo batteries must be cycled several times before maximum capacity is realized. A battery is ”cycled” by fully charging it, then fully discharging it through normal use. Chargers Listed below are the specifications for the Cameo series chargers: UCN72-4: ( p/n series AC15482-tab) Designed to charge up to four batteries simultaneously. Battery packs may be charged separately or while plugged into the printer. Typical charge time is 90 minutes.
Removing and Replacing Cameo 2 Battery Packs To remove the battery pack from the Cameo 2: 1. Push the battery release button on the bottom of the printer towards the media compartment. 2. Rotate the belt clip as shown while, 3. Allowing the battery pack to slide out. Battery Packs are replaced by the following procedure: 1. Rotate the Belt Clip to clear the battery 2. Align the battery pack to the bottom of the printer. The side of the battery with the contacts will face into the well for the battery. 3.
Removing and Replacing Cameo 3 Battery Packs To remove the battery pack from the Cameo 3: Slide the Battery Latch button in the direction shown in the top illustration below, and slide the battery out. To replace the battery, insert the end with the contacts into the battery well and slide the battery into the printer until in clicks into place .
Adjust edge guide to desired position and snap into place. Media must spin freely.
INSTALLATION OF MEDIA The following details media installation: Cameo 2 is illustrated. Loading procedure is identical for all units. 1. Turn unit off. 2. Squeeze the two finger grips on either side of the media compartment cover. Rotate the top back to reveal the paper compartment. 3. If necessary, adjust the edge guide as shown at left for narrow media.
MAGNETIC STRIPE READER The optional magnetic stripe reader (MSR) is used as follows: 1. A flashing status light indicates the printer is available to scan. Place the card into the reader slot as shown. The magnetic stripe must face the top of the printer, and into the body of the printer as shown in Detail “A” below. 2. Slide the card through the slot. The card will be read if slid in either direction. Depending on the application software, the receiving terminal will sound a beep on a successful scan. 3.
SMARTCARD READER Smart Card Status Indicator Smart Card Reader Slot MSR Slot DETAIL “A” CAMEO 2SC WITH MSR OPTION The Smartcard reader (only available on CameoSC models ) is used as follows: 1. A status light indicates the Smartcard reader is available. At this time, the Cameo is acting only as a Smartcard reader connected to the host terminal; all other printer functions are suspended. 2. Insert the card into the reader slot as shown in Detail “A” above.

MAINTENANCE Cameo printers will provide years of reliable service provided a few simple guidelines are followed. The printer should be cleaned approximately every two weeks or more often, depending on usage and the type of media being employed. Components of the printer that require periodic maintenance are the print head, print roller (platen), and the media sensor. When cleaning, please use only isopropyl alcohol, the same type included in the Cleaning Kit.
Cleaning the Media Sensor The Media sensor is located inside the media compartment under the print head. Blow out any dust deposits carefully, then finish cleaning with the cleaning pen supplied with the printer and/or alcohol and cotton swabs. Linerless Media Printers Printers using linerless media require more frequent cleaning. Linerless media deposits adhesive which must be removed for optimum performance.
TROUBLESHOOTING Self Test: Perform the self test as described in the Controls section. The unit should print a line of interlocking “x” characters to insure all elements of the print head are working, print out the version of software loaded in the printer and then print two reports. The first report indicates model, ROM version, serial number, baud rate, etc. The second report contains application information. If no second report appears, there is no application loaded.
• Network printers: refer to the RF LAN Information section of the Self Test printout to verify the printer’s SSID and IP addresses are correct, and that the printer is “associated” with the wireless LAN. • Invalid label format or command structure — use Hex Dump Mode for troubleshooting. Refer to the Programming Manual for more information. Reduced battery charge life: • Recondition (cycle) battery. • Damaged battery-replace.
COMMUNICATING TO THE PRINTER The printer must establish communications with a host terminal which sends the data to be printed. Communications occur in three basic ways: IR Communications Window The IrDA logo or the Bluetooth logo will appear here if those options are installed.
logo on the lower left corner of the keypad. • By means of a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) (Cameo 3 Network Printers only) Cameo 3 Network printers are identified by a “Cameo 3N” logo, and an extension to the bottom cover. Cable Communications All Cameo printers can communicate by cable; the specific cable supplied with your printer will vary with the host terminal. The 8- pin circular connector on your communications cable plugs into the serial communications port on the side of the Cameo printer.
IR Communications Printers equipped for infrared (IR) communications are identified by a small “IR” logo on the unit’s keypad. IR allows wireless communications between the printer and the host terminal. IR units can also communicate with a cable as detailed above, however, IR functions are disabled when the cable is plugged in.
Wireless Communications with Bluetooth™ using ZBR Radio The following section only applies when the Bluetooth ZBR Module (FCC ID: I28MDBTC2-E) is installed in the Cameo printer (note that only one of the radio options can be installed in the printer at one time). “Bluetooth” is a worldwide standard for the exchange of data between two devices via radio frequencies. Bluetooth radios are relatively low powered to help prevent interference with other devices running at similar radio frequencies.

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Printers equipped for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) communications are known as Cameo 3N Network Printers. Cameo 3N printers allow wireless communication as a node within a local area network, and its wireless capabilities allow communications from any point within the LAN’s perimeter. Methods of establishing communications to the Cameo 3N will vary with each LAN application. WARNING: Use of the Cameo 3N will result in exposure to Radio Frequency radiation.
