1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The TUP452-24/TUP482-24 printers are line thermal printers and are incorporated for use in various  
electronic equipment, such as game machines, ATMs and information kiosks. The TUP452-24 is the  
cut & drop type, while the TUP482-24 is the presenter type (i.e. the printer is equipped with a paper  
ejector).  
These printers feature the following:  
1. High-speed printing: 2 in./sec (50 mm/sec)  
2. High resolution: 8 dots/mm vertically, 8 dots/mm horizontally (approx. 200 dpi)  
3. Silent operation  
4. Paper roll size: max. 8-inch diameter  
5. Choice of three types of interfaces (optional)

2. CONSTRUCTION  
2.1 Configuration  
The unit printer mechanism is constructed of the following components:  
Unit printer mechanism  
Thermal printer  
Sensor  
Thermal head  
Drive  
Gear  
Platen  
Motor  
Presenter (TUP482 series only)  
Cutter (guillotine-type full cutter)  
Frame  
Control and interface boards  
Near-end sensor  
2.2 Principle of Operation  
2.2.1 Drive and paper feed  
The rotation of the stepping motor is transmitted to the gear, which turns the platen. The rota-  
tion of the platen generates friction between it, the thermal paper and the thermal head, there-  
fore causing the paper to be fed.  
2.2.2 Printer  
Color appears on the thermal paper as the temperature of the thermal head’s heat-generating  
element increases.  
2.2.3 Presenter  
The edge of the thermal paper stops just before the presenter’s ejector, the continuous feed of  
the thermal paper creates a loop and after printing is finished, the paper is cut. Then, the paper is  
fed out by the roller in front of the ejector. (The DC motor rotates the roller)

5. PRINTER SETTINGS  
5.1 Switches and Buttons  
The DIP switches and memory switches (EEPROM) are used to make the printer’s settings. In addi-  
tion, the sensor adjusting button and RESUME button, which are not used for making printer settings,  
are installed.  
The sensor adjusting button is located on the paper-out and near-end sensor’s PCB (N.EPCB), and is  
mainly used for adjusting the photo sensors, therefore, it is not used by the general user. The RESUME  
button is located on the casing (near the LF motor), and is used to bring the printer back on line after it  
goes off line (e.g. paper-out). For more details about the RESUME button, refer to “6. DISPLAYS  
AND FUNCTIONS”.  
The DIP switches are mounted to the interface’s PCB and can be changed by operating them from the  
hole used for replacing the EPROM or by removing the interface’s PCB.  
The number of DIP switches differs according to the type of interface.  
Centronics:  
RS-232C:  
RS-422A:  
None  
1 (8-bit)  
2 (8-bit and 4-bit)  
The EEPROM is 1 word by 16 bits. The EEPROM is mounted on the main unit’s PCB and can be  
changed with the commands.

(viewed from the  
operator’s side)  
a. The paper is not ejected during printing.  
b. The cutter cuts the end of the paper after printing is completed.  
c. The presenter’s roller rotates for 5 seconds, which causes the sheet to  
be ejected from the exit. The sheet stops when the end leaves the  
roller.  
d. The next printing step starts when the sheet is removed by the operator.  
e. If the sheet is not removed within 5 seconds, the roll begins to rotate.  
If the status end request (EOT) is sent from the host computer while  
the sheet is remains at the exit, the host computer will return to status

16.1 Installation precautions  
1. Install the printer on a level surface. (Consult with a representative when installing the printer at an  
angle.)  
2. Be sure that there is plenty of space around the printer. (Refer to the diagram of the “External  
Dimensions”.)  
3. Since the thermal head is very hot, carefully examine where the printer is installed. (When a fan is  
used to provide ventilation, be very careful of dust since it can damage the thermal head.)  
4. Although this printer is made of plated steel sheets, the ends are not plated.  
16.2Other precautions  
1. Correctly insert the paper before printing.  
2. Do not use or store this printer in a dusty or oily environment or in a place containing a large  
amount of iron.  
3. Remove any dust, paper particles, etc. using either a soft brush or a cloth dampened in alcohol.  
4. Do not apply a strong force to the printer. Otherwise, the frame may bend causing the printer to  
malfunction.  
5. The printer should only be used in the specified environmental conditions (temperature, humidity,  
etc.) and not subject to sudden environmental changes. When sudden environmental changes  
occur, the printer should be kept in the new environment for approximately 30 minutes before it is  
used.  
6. Do not use the printer if condensation has formed on it.

17. Maintenance  
Regular maintenance is very important since minute debris of thermosensible paper sticking to the  
platen may cause slipping of the paper feeder. Maintenance should be made as follows:  
Maintenance Timing:  
Generally, TUP series should be maintained every time after using 10 rolls of 8 inch ø Star Standard  
Spec paper roll, or 5 km length.  
Generally, TSP series should be maintained every time after using 35 rolls of 115mm ø Star  
Standard Spec paper roll, or 5 km length.  
Maintenance Procedures:  
1. Make sure that the power supply is turned off before starting the maintenance procedures.  
2. Wipe and rub the platen gently with a dry soft cloth to remove all debris stuck on the platen sur-  
face. (Turn the platen around to remove debris from all the surface.)  
Take enough care not to touch the gears and the cutter guide when wiping the platen to avoid any  
*
bodily injury.  
Avoid wiping a same spot of the platen continuously, otherwise it may cause deformation of the  
*
platen.  
Wash your hands thoroughly before touching the platen.
