Installing a stand-alone printer
1. Verify that the supply voltage range stated on the type plate is suitable for your local
line voltage.
2. Connect the printer 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. Turn on the printer. The green indicator should light up.
4. Press the front button. The green indicator starts flashing and the yellow indicator
lights up, indicating ”Out of Paper”.
5. Turn the tickets so that the magnetic stripe is on the left side facing downwards, as
seen from the front of the printer.
6. Insert tickets in the lower document entry. The printer feeds the tickets forward and
cuts and ejects one ticket
7. Turn off the host computer and the printer. Connect a serial cable between the COM
port of the host computer and the serial input of the TTPM2 printer. The printer is
ready for use.
