Check the printer’s dip-switch setting was 9600,N,8,1.
LCD shows nothing or a
string of same letter.
Check keyboard if key squeezed.

Appendix A. Can work with
Printer’s External Memory Card
??
There are to types of external
flash
memory cards (1MB or 2MB), used by the printer. Each
card can store up to 330 forms that KP-180 accepts.
??
The name of each form accepts up to 20 characters.
??
Each form accepts variable data fields up to 30 sets. Any variable data field accepts at most
100 characters.
??
All the forms must have been downloaded into the flash memory card before KP-180 works. To
download form data, please read Chapter 9, SOFTWARE COMMAND, EZ-4TT & EZ-2P/4P
Technical User’s Manual.
Printer
Among EZ series of printers, EZ-4TT, EZ-2P and EZ-4P are specially selected to work with KP-180.
However, EZ-4TT with firmware version earlier than V1.60 and EZ-2P/4P with firmware version earlier
than V1.52 are incompatible.
CCD Scanner
CCD, the barcode scanner, is set with 4200-baud rate, no parity, 8-bit pre character, and 1 stop bit.
When KP-180 is waiting for your data input, such as variables, serial numbers or file names, CCD is
helpful and a good alternative, saving you a lot of time.
