DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINTER
The FT190S printer has an ABS casing (1) with a front cover (2) which
opens to allow access to the paper roll and print head.
The control panel is located on the front (3) and has a PRINT key, a FEED key
and two LEDs: Power and Status.
•
PRINT key. When pressed, in serial causes the “$0D” control character to
be transmitted if enabled during printer setup. In parallel to the PRINT key
is the J6 connector which can be used to connect to an external key
(fig.1.1).
•
FEED key. When this is pressed, the paper feeds forward manually. If this
key is pressed briefly, when the RTCK option is installed, the date and time
of day is printed.
•
The POWER LED indicates that the printer is receiving a digital power
supply.
•
The STATUS LED, when flashing, signals that the paper is finished. When
lit steadily, it signals the presence of an error (head power supply too high
or too low or head temperature too high).
