Install Cable Cover  
Check the bottom view of the printer, the 4  
screws for the printer itself are in quite deep holes. Insert  
the tenons of the cable cover into the 2 printer screw  
holes nearest to the connection area. Apply a cable cover  
fixing screw at the matched screw holes as circled in the  
bottom view picture at right.  
Power On  
When all the above cable connections are made  
correctly, you may connect your power adaptor to the  
wall outlet. Make sure that the type of power cord and  
the voltage requirement of the power adaptor meet the local power conditions.  
Now the printer is ready for power on.  
Self Test  
Press and hold down the feed  
button while turning the on / off switch on.  
The printer will then perform a self-test. A  
sample slip of self-test result is printed as in  
the sample at right. Please note that both  
serial and parallel interfaces are indicated.  
That means the printer is working on an  
auto-sensing and auto-select algorithm.  
The header is printed in text mode  
and the rest part of this slip is printed in  
page mode. If FEED button is pressed at  
this moment, a font table will be printed in  
text mode again. To exit the test printing,  
please turn the printer off and on again.  
SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS  
Paper Near End Sensor  
The near end sensor for paper  
roll in the printer is able to have the  
printer work with paper rolls of several  
bobbin sizes. Please refer to the picture at  
right from inside the paper roll  
compartment that there are a fixing screw  
and a sensor head in the wall. Slightly  
Fixing Screw  
Sensor Head  
release the fixing screw to adjust the

position of sensor head. The acceptable paper roll bobbin outer diameter is  
between 18 and 22mm. This adjustment allows sensor activation on paper roll  
overall diameter between 21 and 23.6 mm unless for too light bobbins.  
Remember, for smaller roll diameter, the sensor head should go higher.  
Paper Roll Replacement  
When the paper roll  
to put (back) in is already  
nearly used up, the paper roll  
must be placed in the way that  
the paper roll touches the  
sensor head from the outer  
surface but never allow the  
sensor head to ride on the  
Bobbin O.D.  
Bobbin I.D.  
Thermal  
Paper  
Surface  
bobbin body between the inner and outer diameter of the paper roll bobbin nor  
to go into the inner diameter of the paper roll bobbin. It is also noticed that  
some market available paper roll has extremely light bobbin, easily causing the  
paper roll to go off position when paper feeding with low remaining paper. In  
this case, the paper near end sensor may function abnormally and it would be a  
good solution to set in the setup window to have the printer to send busy only  
when input buffer is full and not based on every off line signal.  
Spacer Plate  
If the paper roll is of width less than the standard 80 / 58 mm, it may  
run away from the paper near end sensor during application resulting in an  
error status. In this case, please stick the spacer plate to the wall opposite to the  
paper near end sensor in the paper roll compartment. Each spacer plate  
compensates 1 mm paper roll width shortage. There will be 1 spacer plate in  
the accessory of the printer. If the user uses narrower paper roll and requires  
more spacer plates, it can be purchased from Posiflex.  
Paper Cutting  
The paper advance after a protective cut is set to 12 mm. In case the  
user uses direct cut instead of protective cut to have something like a logo  
printed on top of each slip, it is also highly suggested to print the logo and  
necessary paper feeding to make 12 mm paper advance right after each cut to  
prevent curling up and jamming of paper front edge inside the paper exit slot.  
Wall Mount Application  
In wall mount application, the paper near end sensor will not work  
properly and it is suggested to set in the setup window to have the printer to  
send busy only when input buffer is full and not based on every off line signal.

INSTALLING DRIVER  
There will always be a Posiflex Product Information CD or a separate  
CD of similar nature but specifically created for the product delivered. Please  
find the appropriate subfolder from the non-specific Posiflex Product  
Information CD and check the information file like “readme” or installation  
guide or application guide and follow the instructions inside.  
LAN PRINTER SPECIFIC ISSUES  
Web Manager  
The default static IP for the PP-7200L is 192.168.192.168 and default  
listen port is 9100. User may set his own IP to the same network segment and  
use any browser to connect to the printer IP to configure the LAN setup of the  
PP-7200L including changing the printer IP for application according to his  
network administrator’s request. However, DHCP is not supported.  
Reset Pin Hole  
As the LAN setup for the PP-7200L can be set freely, if the changes  
are not well registered some troubles could be introduced. Therefore, in PP-  
7200L, there is a “Reset pin hole” near the LAN connector. Use something like  
a ball pen tip or straightened end of paper clip to push and hold for at least 5  
seconds into this hole will reset the LAN setup of the printer back to the  
default values at delivery so the user may re-do all setup. The LAN setup can  
be viewed in second paragraph of self-test printout for the PP-7200L.  
LAN POS Printer Manager  
This utility can be used to manage multiple PP-7200L’s connected in  
same network under Windows as long as there is no conflicting IP in the  
network. This utility can assign to each LAN printer a different device name  
for easy recognition. In case of confusion, please check the MAC addresses  
listed in this utility against the MAC address label you can find under each  
printer.  
Printer Driver Setup  
Any PC connected in same network can use TCP/IP to use PP-7200L  
in the way like a directly connected local printer. So, for direct I/O control by  
tools like “HyperTerminal” all commands applicable to the serial or parallel  
interface model can work on PP-7200L in the same way as PP-7000II except  
the port must be TCP/IP with the IP address of the printer. Similarly, for  
Windows printer driver setup, please “Add Printer” and select for “Local  
printer” and select port “TCP/IP” with the printer IP address then use the same  
Windows printer driver of PP-7000II for PP-7200L.

TROUBLE SHOOTING  
This section gives solutions to some printer problems you may have.  
General Problems  
No LED lights up on control panel when switched on –Make sure  
that the power supply cables are correctly plugged into the printer, the power  
adaptor and to the power outlet. Make sure that power is supplied to the power  
outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a switch or timer, try use another outlet  
Printing Problems  
Nothing can be printed with ERROR LED flashing – Most  
Part 12  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
possible cause for the flashing Error LED is that the printer has been printing  
for quite a period of time and the print head temperature become too high.  
After few minutes under normal ventilation, the print head should be able to  
cool down and the Error LED will stop flashing. Printing will resume after  
cooled down. If this is not the case, contact a qualified service person.  
Nothing can be printed with ERROR LED ON – Check the Paper  
Out LED. If it is ON, most probably either the paper roll is not installed or the  
paper roll is at or near the end. Install a new paper roll. If the Paper Out LED is  
OFF, please check if the print hood is properly closed. There are 2 internal  
check points inside the printer to assure the locking of the hood for a decent  
printing. Therefore any dislocation of the hood may cause an error status and  
inhibition to printing. Press down the hood at middle of the opening when  
closing it till it audibly clicks into place. If both situations are not the cause,  
please try pulling the hood lock forward. If the top hood won’t release  
automatically, check for paper jam described in next item.  
If there is no paper jam and the print head is not overheated, turn off  
the printer and wait for half a minute then turn it back on. If the problem still  
remains, contact a qualified service person.  
Nothing can be printed with ERROR LED OFF – Try to run self-  
test according to previous chapter to check if the printer itself works properly.  
If the self-test passes, check the following:  
1). Check the connection of the interface cable at both the  
printer and computer ends. Also make sure that this cable  
meets the specification required for both the printer and the  
computer.  
2). Check the printer data communication settings against the  
computer. The printer settings can be found easily on the  
self-test print out.  
If the problem remains or the self-test fails, contact your dealer or a  
qualified service person.  
Poor printing quality – Contaminants like paper scraps and dusts on  
the thermal print head can lower the print quality drastically. Clean the print  
head as described in previous section.  
Printer trembles when printing – Since PP-7000II series prints at  
180 mm / sec that is extremely high speed, the printer may tremble due to  
frequent engagement of the brake and acceleration of the motor. Such situation  
in turn can be consequences of very complicated printer operation command or  
heavily dense printing (like in inverse printing) in print content or irregular /  
insufficient data flow received from the host. When this happens, the print  
speed will be dragged down drastically since the motor has to be stopped  
frequently. Avoiding such drawbacks can free the printer from trembling and  
degraded performance. As a common practice, increasing the communication  
Part 13  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
baud rate could be a smart decision to this situation. (No need to change baud  
rate if no trembling occurs to eliminate possible data error rate.)  
Paper Jam Problems  
Paper is jammed inside the printer – Turn off the printer and open  
the print hood by releasing the hood lock. Remove the jammed paper and  
reinstall the paper roll. Close the hood properly and firmly. Then turn on the  
printer for operation.  
If the auto cutter is jammed, the print hood will be locked. Please first  
resolve the auto cutter problems per description in next item and then come  
back to deal with the paper jam. Never force open the print hood. Please also  
clear away any contaminants accumulated in the cutter track above the thermal  
elements.  
Auto Cutter Track

Auto Cutter Problems  
In case any foreign materials like a staple or paper clip or excessive  
paper scraps fall into the auto cutter mechanism the auto cutter may lock up  
and so does the print hood. In such case, please pull the cutter cover forward to  
expose the cutter mechanism. Apply some mechanical assistance in below  
procedures to help resetting the cutter blade back to its home position. Please  
lift up if exist a transparent protective cover over the adjustment wheel with  
the printer powered off. Turn this wheel downward for 4 or 5 strokes. Aim the  
guide of the cutter cover and push it back to position to close the cutter cover  
and turn the printer power on to see if the auto cutter lock up problem is  
resolved.

technical information such as driver installation, DIP switch settings and  
command sets etc. if required.  
·
·
Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.  
Choose a place that is well ventilated and free of excessive dust, smoke or  
fume.  
·
·
Do not put the printer under direct sunlight or near a heater.

·
·
·
Do not set any liquid or drinks such as coffee on the printer case.  
Do not touch any metal part to avoid possible electrostatic damage.  
Do not touch the areas around the print head and motor during or right after  
printing. It can be very hot.  
·
Do not allow the cut receipt to slide back into the cutter during the  
operation. As this would lead to multiple cutting at the lower edge of a  
receipt and the multiple cut thin slips tend to cause mechanical malfunction.  
·
·
Use a grounded AC power outlet with only the power cord and power  
adaptor furnished with the printer.  
Do not use a power outlet of a circuit shared with any equipment that uses  
a lot of power or causes great electrical noises, such as a copier, electric  
motors or a coffee maker.  
·
·
·
·
·
Do not use thermal paper containing Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+) and  
Chlorine (Cl-) ions that can harm the print head thermal elements.  
If the surface of thermal paper is scratched with a hard object such as a nail,  
the paper may become discolored.  
If thermal paper touches diazzo copy paper immediately after copying, the  
printed surface may be discolored.  
Use only water paste, starch paste, polyvinyl paste or CMC paste when  
gluing thermal paper.  
If thermal paper touches anything containing phthalic acid ester plasticizer  
for a long time, the image formation ability may be reduced or the printed  
image may fade.  
·
·
·
Use of volatile organic solvents such as alcohol, ester and ketone or some  
adhesive tapes on thermal paper can cause discoloration.  
Thermal paper must not be stored with the printed surfaces against each  
other as the printing may be transferred between the surfaces.  
Since the paper roll is highly thermal sensitive, please keep them in a dark  
place that is 20º and 65% RH when not installed in the printer. Avoid  
extended exposure to direct light. Use only products made from  
polyethylene, polypropylene or polyester for storage of thermal paper.

SERVICE WINDOW SETUP  
PRINTER  
On bottom cover of the Aura series thermal printer, there is screwed a  
metal plate for setup window. In this window, there is a 8 position DIP switch  
for printer setup. Please use proper tool to change the switch setting when  
necessary. The switch position counting starts from the nearest edge of printer.  
The ON direction points to the connector area of the printer. The OFF  
direction points to the power switch. The functions of each position may  
evolve with the revisions of the firmware. The information below applies to  
the latest version to the date of print of this manual.  
This 8 position DIP switch works as following:

Effect of positions 1 & 2 on baud rate is defined as in table below with  
parity check set according to position 3, number of data bits always set to 8,  
and stop bit set to 1. When the interface used is anything other than RS232,  
please set these 2 switches only at exactly the specified combination.

Switch position 3 defines the parity check regulation in serial interface.  
In Aura, it is selectable between even and none.  
Switch position 4 defines the handshaking method in serial interface.  
When it is set to ON, the printer transmits an “XOFF” for busy and sends an  
“XON” for not busy. When it is set to OFF, the printer signifies the busy status  
over hardware signals that can be detected by the host as “DSR” or “CTS”.  
When parallel interface is used, both switch positions 3 and 4 should be set to  
OFF.  
For switch position 5, if the switch is set to ON, the busy signal is sent  
to host only when input buffer is full. When it is set to OFF, busy signal is sent

to host whenever an off line status occurs. Therefore, signals including the  
paper near end detect will generate busy signal to the host. Consequently, the  
printing may be stopped even when there is still a long way to go before the  
paper roll is actually exhausted. Taking the paper out beep into consideration,  
the printer will keep on beeping at Paper End (completely no paper) till paper  
is replaced when S1-5 is ON. Yet when S1-5 is OFF, the printer will keep on  
beeping every 3 seconds at Paper Near End (still long paper in replace) till  
paper is replaced.  
For switch position 6, when it is set to OFF, there will be a 20 mm paper  
feed before cutting when software does not define this point and there will be  
further 10 mm paper after cutting to prevent paper jam. Before setting this  
switch to ON, please make sure that your software will take care of enough  
paper feed for the paper jam prevention issue.  
For switch position 8, when it is set to ON in the field, the printer maybe  
subject to unpredictable damages and must be strictly prevented.  
The factory default for each position is listed below:

INTERNAL SWITCH  
There is an extra internal 4 position DIP switch in PP-7000II series for  
more technical settings. To access these setup, please first turn off the printer  
power and disconnect every cable from the printer. Remove 4 screws from  
bottom of printer and remove the plastic bottom cover with the power switch  
pressed. The 4 position DIP switch seats beside the 8 position DIP switch for  
setup window with the switch position counting starts from the nearest side to  
the 8 position DIP switch.  
This 4 position DIP switch works as following:

The Switch position 1 default set to ON. The print speed is fixed at 42.5  
lines/sec.  
Switch position 2 is usually set to OFF for use with 80 mm paper width.  
When the printer is installed with the 58 mm paper guide adaptor for use with  
the paper roll of 58 mm width, the switch should be set to ON.  
Switch position 3 is usually set to OFF for ESC/POS command  
application that prints at 512 dots / line. Only technical users shall set this  
switch to ON and make the printer work in the 576 dots / line format.  
SERIVCE SERIAL PORT  
There is an extra 9 pin female D sub connector for PP-7200U model in  
connection area. This port is designed for technical service only. DO NOT
