Operating Precautions This section presents important information intended to ensure safe and effective use of the printer. Please read the following carefully. Notes on Safety Be sure to use the specified battery and power source provided by our company. Connection to an improper power source may cause fire, explosion or damage to the printer.
Notes on Using Be sure not to print continuously over 1 meter, otherwise may cause damage to the print head. Water or other liquid should not spill into the printer, also the printer should not be appeared in the rain, or else may cause printer damage. Please do not open the paper case cover when it is printing, otherwise the printer may work improperly. If print with serial interface, should not unplug the interface cable in the course of printing, or else some printing data may be lost.
Be sure to use up the electricity of the battery before charge it, as it can ensure the using life of the battery. Notes on Handling The printer should be placed in such an environment that the temperature is between -20℃ and 60℃, and the relative humidity is between 5% and 95%. If the printer will be stored for a long time, pleas be sure to take out the battery, otherwise may damage the battery and printer.

3.2 Operation Specification 3.2.1 Printer On/Off The printer is powered on by pressing the power button for about 1 second; the power indicator is on with blue color when the printer is on. If press the power button for about 1 second again, the printer will be turned off, all the indicators are off when the printer is off.
3.2.2 Self-test The self-test checks the printer’s current settings, status and whether the printer has any problems. Turn on the power while holding down the FEED button, the self-test begins. The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it completes the self-test. 3.2.3 Paper Feeding When the printer works normally, hold down【FEED】button, the paper feeding begins, and stops when hold down【FEED】 button again. 3.2.
printer, so the power charging begins, during the course of power charging, the charging indicator goes red, and turns to blue when the charging is over. It takes about 3 hours to charge the battery. When the charging indicator is purple, it means battery uninstalled or battery not contacted well. If powered on the printer by the external power supply and without the battery, the charging indicator is blue.
Data Bit: 7 bit, 8 bit optional Parity: Odd, Even, None optional Stop Bit: 1 bit The ex-factory default setting is: Baud rate: 9600bps Handshaking: hardware Data Bit: 8 bit Parity: none User can change the settings by using the Setting Tool. Definition for the PS/2 socket: 1.TXD: send data 2.DTR: ready signal 3.RXD: receive data 4.RTS: when the signal is “MARK”, means printer is busy, can’t receive data; when the signal is “SPACE”, means the printer is ready to receive data. 5.GND: ground 6.
please don’t use this pin if making connecting line, otherwise the printer might be not used normally or damaged. When prints large quantities of data, the handshaking need to be used. When using Bluetooth and IrCOMM, developers need not to consider handshaking. When use Raw-Ir can not use hardware control.
RAW-Ir can work under 9600bps, 19200bps, 38400bps, 57600bps, 115200bps, the baud rate of RAW-Ir is same to that of serial interface. Notice: 1) To use the T5’s infrared port, a computer or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) with IR port is required. 2) Position a PDA conforming to the specifications in point not more than 50 centimeter away from the printer’s infrared port. Make sure the two ports are in front of each other with an angle of not more than 30° on the four side. 3.3.
3. If there are other Bluetooth devices, please select T5 Bluetooth Printer; 4. Put in password “1234” 5. Pairing finished. Notice: If the printer name has been changed, please be sure not turn on more than one printer, otherwise it will be difficult to justify which printer been paired. 3.3.3.2 Binding of Address Binding: once the printer remembers the device’s address, it only can connect with the device and can’t connect with others.
The printer also can be set to turn off automatically mode by T5 Setting Tools. In turn off automatically mode, the printer will power off if without data sent in within 5 minutes. 3.4.2 Paper End Alarming When the paper is run out, the buzzer of the printer will ring 2 times, informs the user to load paper. 3.4.
3.5 Indicators and Buzzer There are three indicators for T5 printer, they are 【POWER】, 【MODE】 and 【FEED】, the 【POWER】and 【MODE】 indicators are blue, the 【FEED】 indicator is red.
Solid blue (middle) Charging finish － Solid red(middle) Charging － Solid purple(middle) Battery error 3.6 Printer setting Users can set the printer by using the〈T5 Setting Tools〉 software provided by us. The settings include: serial baud rate, data format, black mark, language, font, density, RAW-IR baud rate(only for T5-Ra), IrDA device name (oly for T5-Ir), Bluetooth device name and password etc.
