Chapter 1: Outline

The SCP700 Series combines both a quick, quiet and highly reliable thermal

receipt printer with an impact dot slip printer, enabling printing on single or

multiple sheets of slip paper of an unspecified size.

The thermal printer enables receipt printing without a thermal ribbon and makes

paper insertion extremely easy.

The biggest advantage of combining the two printer mechanisms into one unit

is that less space, only one power supply and only one port are necessary,

compared with using a slip printer which is separate from a thermal receipt

printer, each requiring space and a power supply.

Thermal printing on receipt paper is quiet and fast.

For improvement purposes, the descriptions and specifications in this

manual are subject to change without notice.

Chapter 2: DIP Switch Settings

The printer’s DIP switches let you change communications parameters, thermal

printing density, interface type, input buffer size, and emulation. This chapter

explains the settings you can make and tells you how to actually change DIP

switch settings.

Accessing the DIP switches

The DIP switches are located inside the printer, underneath the document table.

Use the following procedure to remove the document table so you can operate

the DIP switches.

❏

Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from its wall outlet.

❏

Open the printer cover.

❏

Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the two screws that secure the

document table in place.

❏

Carefully work the document table loose and slide it to the left of the

printer out of the way. It is not necessary to remove the document table

complete, just move it enough so you can get at the DIP switches inside.

❏

After the document table is opened sufﬁciently, use a thin ﬂat-blade

screwdriver or some other similar object to change DIP switch settings.

❏

Carefully return the document table to its original position and secure it in

place with the two screws.

Available DIP switch settings

There are two DIP switches inside the printer, named DIP Switch 1 and DIP

Switch 2. DIP Switch 1 controls data communication parameters, while DIP

Switch 2 controls other settings.

OFF

DIP Switch 1

The following table shows all the possible settings for DIP Switch 1. This

switch sets the transmission parameters of the Standard Serial Interface. All

switch settings, except for 1-7 and 1-8, are ON when the printer is shipped from

the factory.

DIP Switch 2

The following table shows all the possible settings for DIP Switch 2. The

factory default setting for this switch is all ON.

Chapter 3: Memory Switch Settings

Each memory switch is a 16-bit word store in EEPROM. For details on the

functions and settings of memory switches, refer to “Chapter 9”.

The table below shows the factory settings for the memory switches.

Chapter 4: Control Panel Operations

The control panel gives you some push-button control over the printer’s receipt

and slip printer operations. It also includes indicator lights, which tell you the

current status of the printer at a glance.

Indicator lights

The following table describes the meaning of indicator lights when it is on, off,

or flashing.

* All indicators flash to indicate a non-recoverable error.

Buttons

The following table describes the function of the two control buttons of the

control panel.

Producing a test print

The following procedure can be used at any time to test the receipt printer and

the slip printer.

❏

Turn on the printer and insert a piece of paper into the slip printer. Also

make sure that roll paper is loaded for the receipt printer.

Note:

If you want to produce a test print on the receipt printer only, simply don’t

insert paper into the slip printer.

❏

Turn off printer power.

❏

While holding down the

RECEIPT

button, turn printer back on. Keep

RECEIPT

depressed for a few moments until the printer beeps and the

receipt printer test print starts.

After the receipt test print is complete, the slip printer will produce a test

print on the paper you inserted in the first step of this procedure. The slip

printer test will continue until it reaches the end of the paper.

Note:

The slip printer momentarily releases the slip paper when you turn printer

power back on. If you are using a large piece of paper, it may fall out of the slip

printer when this happens, causing the slip printer test to be skipped. Because

of this, it is a good idea to keep hold of the paper in the slip printer when you

turn power back on.

Button Description

RECEIPT

Press to feed the thermal paper. Holding down this button feeds paper

at high speed.

SLIP/RESUME

1. Press this button to release or engage slip paper from the slip

printer. (Switching from releasing to engaging is only possible if

slip paper is inserted.)

2. Press this button to clear the errors of the slip printer and receipt

printer.
