2 Product Presentation The TTP 2100 series of ticket printers are available both for kiosk integration and desktop use. They print on most ticket media from 50 mm to 82.5 mm wide using direct thermal printing, The ticket media can be up to 0.25 mm thick, fanfold, roll, or single cut handfed. The printers have integrated guillotine cutter, straight presenter, and control board. The print speed is 150 mm per second, and the eject speed 300 mm/s to ensure high throughput.
Product Presentation You can also print fixed- or variable-length tickets without synchronization. The presenter can be set to eject the ticket into a tray or hold it by the back edge until the customer takes it. The top can easily be opened to give the operator access to the paper path, and print head, for maintenance purposes.
Product Presentation Presenter Presenter The straight presenter takes care of the ticket after it is printed and cut. Eject Mode The ticket is ejected after being cut. The printer is designed so that the ticket always drops down. A sensor is located outside the grip-point of the presenter roller to ensure that the sensor can verify that the ticket drops down. To get this functionality you set “Clear presenter after print” in the driver printing preferences.

Open the printhead by pushing green printhead lock plate backwards and lifting up the printhead, see Clearing Paper Jams on page 41. 2. Enter the T-shaped tabs of the paper guide into the “T”-holes, and press the rear of the guide down/in. 3. Fasten the nut using the 5 mm wrench supplied. 4. Close the printhead.
Installation Installing a Paper Guide 10. Enter 63 as parameter number. Recommended values are: Value When Used 2 (center sensor) for ISO tickets and most other tickets 4 (12.5 mm from center sensor) for baggage tags according to IATA 740 1 (edge sensor) for ATB tickets without hole in the perforation. 11. Press SET. 12. Press STORE. 13. Wait for the printer to buzz as a confirmation of that the new value is stored.
Installation Top of Form (TOF) Sensor Top of Form (TOF) Sensor The TTP 2100 has a flexible top of form detection system. When delivered the printer is configured with fork sensor to detect holes / gaps between tickets. The holes / gaps should be in the paper center, 12.5 mm to the right of the center (according to IATA resolution 740) or at the edge of 82.5 mm wide tickets (Boarding cards). If the TOF mark is at a suitable position, an auto calibration routine will configure everything for you.
Installation Top of Form (TOF) Sensor Calibrating the TOF Sensor 1. Open the printhead. 2. Remove ticket stock. 3. Hold the Feed button pressed and close the printhead (keeping the button pressed all the time). 4. Release the button, the Status LED should be off. 5. Load ticket stock (just slide into the slot and let the printer auto load the paper). Note • To ensure good calibration conditions, lightly press the ticket stock towards the bottom of the input guide during calibration.
Installation Installation Considerations Installation Considerations The TTP 2100 Kiosk is for embedded applications and should be installed in an enclosure such as a self-service kiosk. Caution • NEVER use screws that go into the printer more than 4 mm! Longer screws will destroy the electronics inside. The “TTP 2100 Desktop” is a stand alone printer in a housing. The housings can be stacked so two or more printers can reside on top of each other to save space.
Installation Installation Considerations Figure 5 • Printer Installation Orientation Options Quick-Fit Hubs The printers attach to the kiosk in three ways: • using two screws • using four screws • using slides in place using the quick-fit hubs.

5 Programming There are two ways of setting up the printout: Text oriented and driver oriented style. Text Oriented The printout can be seen as the page of a simple word processor. You send text and graphics to the printer, which prints the information in the same sequence as the data is received. Design features are limited to the font stored in the flash PROM of the printer. There are two text cursors, one for portrait, and one for landscape.
Programming Driver Oriented Driver Oriented All TTP 2100 printers can print documents through a driver. When a Windows driver is used, you can use any Windows program to design the ticket with text, graphics, bar codes or whatever you want to print and in any orientation you want. The Windows driver issues all the necessary commands. By setting up printing preferences in the driver you select how the printer should cut and present the printout.

Programming Software command syntax Software command syntax The commands in this section are grouped after what they do, and these groups are sorted in a theoretical usage sequence. It starts with commands for specifying the printed page — through text-and-graphics commands — to cut-and-present commands. System and status commands are presented at the end. Black-mark (Top-of-Form) Commands See also Aligning Preprint and Thermal Print on page 101.
Programming Software command syntax ESC o n1 1B 6F n1 27 111 n1 Text and Logotype Orientation hex decimal Changes the orientation of text and logotypes. n=0 Gives portrait orientation n=1 Gives landscape orientation Portrait and landscape can be mixed on the same printout. There are two cursors, one for portrait and one for landscape. The cursor always starts at the top left corner of the document.
Programming Software command syntax Selecting an empty font location, will set bit 4 of byte 1 in the status enquiry response to ”1". See Parameter-Setting Data Enquiry on page 76 Note • If more than 379 characters are sent to the printer before an LF, the first part of the buffer contents is printed-out automatically. The text is formatted according to the already received formatting commands.
Programming Software command syntax ESC h n1 1B 68 n1 27 104 n1 Text Height hex decimal Applicable n values are 000 — 015. n=1 Increases the character height to 2 times the basic character height. n=2 Increases the character height to 3 times the basic character height etc. n=0 Resets the character height to the basic character height. In combination with variable character width (ESC w n), give highly legible characters depending on the font to which the command has been applied.
Programming Software command syntax After the string has been printed, the cursor will return to the position it had before the string command was issued. Note • ESC t only works with fixed document mode (p36=0). Note • ESC t clears any text preceding it on the same line. Commands will not be cleared. BS 08 8 Backspace Hex Decimal Moves the print-position one step to the left. Backspace can be used to combine characters.
Programming Software command syntax ESC d n1 1B 64 n1 27 100 n1 hex decimal Make n Linefeeds Executes the number of linefeeds as defined by variable n1. The length of each line feed is determined by the default value for selected font (see parameter 13 on page 89). The print position is returned to the beginning of the line. Any text on the line is lost. To avoid losing text, send an LF before sending ESC d n.

Programming Software command syntax Print Commands ESC p 1B 70 27 112 Print Hex Decimal This command makes the printer print the contents of the line buffer. Text is converted from text to pixel lines and stored in the line buffer when an LF is received. If the line buffer is empty when ESC p is received, nothing is printed. Text to be printed p prints "Text to be printed" on the paper.
Programming Software command syntax ESC j n1 1B 6A n1 27 106 n1 Paper Reverse hex decimal The value n represents the number of dot lines the paper is to be transported backwards. Range: 1–255. Caution • NEVER reverse more than 6 mm at top of page! You may lose grip of the paper. A dot line is 0.125 mm, and 255 dot lines equal approximately 32 mm.
Programming Software command syntax ESC RS 1B 1E 27 30 Cut Only, No Eject Hex Decimal Effects paper cut-off only. Eject can be effected with the ESC FF n command (see 49) which also activates the pull detector. To avoid thin strips of paper in the printer, multiple cut commands without paper feed inbetween will not be performed. If the printout length is too short, paper-feed is added until the minimum printout length is reached, before execution of the cut command.
Programming Software command syntax One step is 1 mm. Place this command after a cut command (ESC RS) to partially eject the printout to the customer. Set the eject length so that the customer sees that the printout comes out of the kiosk wall. The pull-detector gives motorized eject of the rest of the printout when the customer pulls the paper. Note • The cut and eject command RS, automatically give the eject length of 50 mm in addition to the factor stored in parameter n47.
Programming Software command syntax ESC & 001 1B 26 01 27 38 1 Hex decimal Load Logotype Stores a logotype bitmap in the flash PROM. The logotype is printed with the ESC g and ESC L commands, see ESC g n1...n5 on page 60 and ESC L n1 on page 60. Also see Logotypes on page 79. Note • If the logo width exceeds the print width, the operation is aborted. ESC & L 1B 26 4C 27 38 76 Erase all Logotypes Hex decimal Erases all logotypes stored in the flash PROM.
Programming Software command syntax ESC & C 1B 26 43 27 38 67 Erase all Fonts Hex decimal Erases all fonts stored in the flash PROM. Note • This command is only executed if at least one font has been loaded. ESC & D 1B 26 44 27 38 68 Erase Fonts 4 to 7 Hex decimal Erases fonts number 4–7. Fonts 0–3 are not affected by this command. The operation is complete when the printer resets automatically and activates the presenter motor temporarily. Takes approximately 4 seconds.
Programming Software command syntax Set Several Parameters at Once ESC & P <000> FromPar is the parameter number to start writing and ParCount is the number of bytes being sent. For every byte sent the parameter number is incremented. Example • This example sets the first 5 tabs to 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25. (FromPar 15, ParCount 5).
Programming Software command syntax Status Reporting Commands See also Status Reporting on page 81. Note • All status commands except for the acknowledge marker are immediate. That is they pass the print queue and are answered directly. Status-codes are reset: 1. When the conditions causing them are removed. 2. When the printer is turned off/on or a reset command is received. 3. When the printhead is lifted and then lowered.
Programming Software command syntax Status Code Meaning NAK 11h Paused (ex. To avoid overheating of stepper motors) NAK FFh Undefined error Note • Errors 02h, 05h, and FFh are terminal faults that require you to reset the printer before it will be operable again. A reset means that any data in the buffer is lost. The printer automatically recovers from the other conditions as soon as the condition is corrected, without data loss. A status enquiry command can only return one status code at a time.

The first byte represents major versions, and the second byte minor versions. Example • Send→ ESC ENQ 12d Read← <001><030> That is, a response with the value <01h><30h> indicates version 1.48. Note • TTP 2100 does not store the bootware in the printer so this query will always return <000><000>.
Programming Software command syntax ESC ENQ E 1B 05 45 27 5 69 Read Extended Status hex decimal Extended status is status from the printer together with devices connected to the I2C optionsbus available in some Zebra printers (the TTP 2100 series does not have any I2C bus so these parts of the command are superfluous). The short message protocol gives replies up to 255 bytes. Other protocols may be defined in the future. Protocols are described in separate documents.
Programming Software command syntax ESC ENQ P n1 1B 05 50 n1 27 5 80 n1 Parameter-Setting Data Enquiry Hex Decimal This command requests information about the setting of parameter n1, that is, the parameter value stored in EEPROM or any parameter value temporarily set by other ESC commands. n1= 1 gives the setting of parameter 1, etc. The parameter names are listed under Summary of Parameter Settings on page 85.
Programming Font Loading Font Loading The printer can store 8 fonts in its flash PROM. The memory available for fonts is printed on the self-test printout. The character size is fixed, so you must load one font file for each character size you require. The fonts are given font numbers when they are loaded into the printer. The first font is assigned number 0 and the next font 1 etc. up to font 7.
Programming Font Loading Character Bitmap Data A character is made up of a bitmap the size of which is: Char. width (X) * Char. Height (Y) bytes. The bitmap data consists of bitmap patterns for each character in a character set for which the parameter Char_width in the Char_matrix table is set to a value between 1 and 24. A character that has its Char_width set to zero, is not included in the bitmap data.
Programming Logotypes Logotypes Up to 16 logotypes can be stored in the flash PROM of the printer. The logotypes can be positioned and printed out with commands ESC g or ESC L. The exact number of logotypes and their sizes is determined by the total amount of memory used for fonts, logotypes and loaded firmware. Make a test printout to see how much memory is available. Note • Logotype No. 0 is printed in the top of the self test printout, so this can be used to customize the self test printout.
Programming Logotypes Bitmap The bitmap must have exactly (X size * Y size) number of bytes. 1=black, 0=white dot. Bit No. 7 in byte 0 represents the top left corner of the logotype. Printing To print a logotype you can use two commands, ESC L n1, prints the logotype at the current cursor position, just like any character. ESC g n1 n2n3 n4n5 prints the logotype at a specified X-Y position.
Programming Status Reporting Status Reporting The printer is equipped with a number of sensors that report the printer status and various conditions such as out-of-paper, previous printout not removed, etc.

6 Default Parameter Settings Some of the printer settings can be stored in an EEPROM so that they will be used also after power OFF. The stored parameter settings are printed out on the self-test printout. The number in front of the function is the parameter number (n) used when setting the parameter with the command ESC & Pnv. You can use the parameter settings pretty much like normal commands.

Measure the length of the blackmark on your paper and enter that value here. Marks 5 mm longer than this value are interpreted as paper out. The default value of 80 equals 10 mm. &P<039><040> 40 30 Default 1 Min 159 Max Sets max black-mark length to 5 mm.
Default Parameter Settings Print Setup 46 0 Default 0 Min 255 Max Cut Position Calibration Calibrates the cut position. The value is a signed byte. A change of 1 moves the cut 1/8 of a mm more than normal. A change of –1 moves the cut 1/8 of a mm less than normal. -1 is entered as 256-1=255 The positive range is 1-127. The negative range is 128-256 This parameter can be individually set for each printer and is not affected by the driver or reset commands.
Default Parameter Settings Print Setup 48 0 Default 0 & 20 Min 80 Max Paper Width (mm) DRV Sets the width of the paper loaded into the printer. The range is 20 to 80 mm. This can also be used to get left and right margins, for instance if you load 80 paper but set the paper width to 60 mm you get a 10 mm margin on both sides of the page. Note • You should not change paper width within a page.

Page Setup Printable Area Printable Area n43+n44 1 st Te xt lin e n37+n38 n49 n39 Top margin, bottom margin, page length, and synchronization with preprint are set up with parameters in the printer. In addition to the above, n41+n42 are used if the hole or black-mark is not on the desired cut position.
Page Setup Aligning Preprint and Thermal Print Aligning Preprint and Thermal Print The printer can synchronize the cutting with black-marks printed on the back of the paper, punched holes or gaps in-between tickets. You use this function when you have preprint on the printout and you don't want a cut in the middle of that preprint, or text printed on top of the preprint. The sensor used to detect the marks is the same sensor as used for paper end detection.
Page Setup Aligning Preprint and Thermal Print Simple Calibration Process 1. Open the printhead 2. Remove ticket stock 3. Hold the Feed button pressed 4. Close the printhead (keeping the button pressed all the time) 5. Release the button, the status LED should be off and the power LED on. 6. Load ticket stock 7. The printer will now forward two tickets and look for TOF marks, then stop and save all TOF-mark parameters. 8.
Page Setup Parameters Used Parameters Used Parameter n35 – Document Mode Set parameter n36 to 1 to enable black-mark check. Parameters n37 and n38 – Page Length Minimum n37+n38 n39 n40 Measure the distance from the center of one black-mark to the center of the next. The resolution is 0.125 mm so multiply the distance by 8, then calculate the value to enter as n37 and n38. Example • If the page length is 100mm, (100 x 8) / 256 = 3.125. n37 is the integer value, that is 3, while n38 is the fraction, 0.
Page Setup Parameters Used Garbage, Black-mark, and Out of Paper Detection G arbage range n40 P rinted black m ark n39 Valid black m ark range (n39 – n40 + 5m m ) 5 mm C onstant O ut of paper For every step the paper is feed, the black-mark sensor is sampled to detect garbage, blackmarks or out of paper. When the printer detects blackness is has to check if it is only garbage; if the paper gets white again within n40 x 0.125 mm, then it is garbage and the spot is ignored.
Page Setup Parameters Used Parameters n41 and n42 – Black-mark Cut Offset After the black-mark is detected and the center of the black-mark calculated, the printer feeds another distance to place the paper in cut position. This distance cannot be negative so placing the black-mark too close to the paper edge is better than too far away.
Page Setup Parameters Used FF (Form Feed) Use FF to print the buffer content, go to the next top of form (black-mark), and cut the paper. ESC Z (Go To Next Top of Form) Use ESC Z to move the paper to the next top of form. This is practically a Form-Feed without printing and cut. It searches for the next black-mark for maximum one page length + blackmark length (256 x n37+n38 + n39)/8. An additional length of 20mm is added to be sure to pass the edge of the next black-mark.
Page Setup Black-Mark Sensing from Within Windows Black-Mark Sensing from Within Windows In Windows, the printer driver controls when the paper is cut and ejected. Settings in the driver override the default parameter settings in the printer. The settings are available in the Windows Printing Preferences Menu, in the Advanced Options window.

8 Interface The printer has one standard interface, and an optional serial interface. There are no selections to be made, but only one interface can be used at a time. The printer will not function properly if data is received on more than one interface at a time. Note • If you use the printer through a Windows driver, you need not read the rest of this chapter.
Interface Serial, TTP 2110 Serial, TTP 2110 Caution • Using a non-approved cable with the printer may void the FCC and other EMC approvals of the printer. The RS-232 interface of the TTP 2110 printer has a transfer speed that can be set to between 2 400 and 115200 bits/s. Applications where text-only printouts are to be printed are suitable for serial interface because of its easy to use bi-directional capability. The relatively low transfer speed limits the printing speed when printing graphics.
Interface USB, TTP 2130 USB, TTP 2130 The USB (Universal Serial Bus) is an interface designed to handle peripherals daisy chained to a single connector. The transfer speed is up to 12 Mbits/s, which is quite adequate for the printer. Use this interface in operating systems with USB support, for instance Windows XP. USB devices are Plug and Play compatible and hot swappable, which means that they can be connected and disconnected without turning off the power, or rebooting the computer.
