TTPM3 Printer/Encoder–Technical Manual

2.1 Installing a desktop printer

1. Connect the cable from the power supply to the connector at the back of the printer.

2. Connect the power supply to a line outlet with safety ground. The ground potential

should be the same as for the host computer. If ground potentials differ, use a short
distance modem between the computer and the printer.

3. Connect a serial cable between the COM port of the host computer and the serial

input of the TTPM3 printer. For pin assignment, see page 70.

4. Turn on the printer. The blue and green indicators should light up.

5. Press the front button. The green indicator starts flashing and the yellow indicator

lights up, indicating “Out of Paper”.

6. Turn the tickets so that the magnetic stripe is on the left side facing downwards, as

seen from the front of the printer.

7. Insert tickets in the lower document entry. The printer feeds the tickets forward and

cuts and ejects one ticket.

The printer is ready for use.

2.1.1 Network

option

If the printer is equipped with a network card only network interface should be used.

1. Open the cover

2. Insert the network cable in the hole at the rear of the cover.

3. Connect the cable to the TCP/IP connector at the rear of the network card.

4. Take out the configuration ticket that sits in the holster on the side of the network card.

5. Start a web browser and enter the IP address printed on the configuration card, for

example http://192.168.0.52
