GENERAL FEATURES

The FT190 is a printer which, in addition to having an innovative design,

guarantees high performance and is reliable and user-friendly.

For these reasons, it is the ideal solution for applications which require the

immediate printing of data on a ticket, whether they be of an industrial,

professional or laboratory nature. Typical fields of application are: weighing

systems, receipts (not for tax purposes) as well as for security, controlling

and diagnostics purposes.

It has a 200 dpi thermal print mechanism and uses 57.5mm paper rolls. It

can print 24 or 40 characters per line according to the selection made at the

setup stage through the software command.

The FT190 printer is so compact and lightweight that it can be installed

extremely easily on any type of equipment. It is supplied with TTL serial and

parallel interfaces and has a 1Kbyte reception buffer. It can also be

equipped with a Real Time Clock.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINTER

The FT190 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 enabled it outputs, in parallel, the logic state “0” on

pin 4 of J1, while in serial it brings about the transmission of the control

character “$0D”, if this has been enabled at the printer setup stage. In

parallel on PRINT key there is a connector J6 used for the connection

to outside key (figure 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 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).
