Printer Operation
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Dascom DP-550 Series Mobile Thermal Printer. The DP-550 Series offers a
variety of configurations to suit any printing environment.
All models support paper and labels up to 3.12 inches wide and include “black mark” sensing capabilities on the
printed side. The DP-550LP also supports rear black mark sensing and label gap sensing. All models are
equipped with a serial port which may be used for either RS-232C or USB communications with an optional
cable. The printer may also be equipped with an optional IrDA
®
, Bluetooth
®
, or Wi-Fi
®
interface, or a Magnetic
Card Reader for reading credit cards, drivers licenses, etc.
DP-550si and DP-550LPsi models are also available for permanently mounted industrial installations. These
models include a ball-type mounting attachment and replace the battery with a Serial Data/Power connector.
This power connector accepts an 8-32 VDC input making it ideal for automotive and industrial equipment
installations. If your printer is an “si” model, you may ignore all references to batteries and battery charging.
Each printer is shipped with Quick Setup Instructions and one roll of receipt paper. Non “si” models also
include a battery and a belt loop system. “si” models include an unterminated data/power cable.
The remainder of this chapter focuses on preparing the printer for initial use and tasks that will be encountered
during everyday use. The following chapter, “
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
”, describes how to
maintain the printer for optimal performance and has information on how to diagnose any problems that may
occur.
For systems integrators and administrators, appendices contain detailed instructions on how to configure
printing characteristics and communications with host systems.
To begin, please refer to Figure 1 to familiarize yourself with the locations of the various features of the printer.
