PRINTER OPERATION
DIRECT CONNECTION
The monitor uses the optional DB9 connector, located on the rear panel of the monitor to
interface to the RS232 port on the printer. Use the cable which is supplied with the printer.
NOTE:
When using the direct connect method, connect the printer’s serial cable to the printer before
turning the printer on.
INFRARED CONNECTION
NOTE:
When using the infrared port, disconnect the printer’s serial cable from the printer before turning
the printer on.
Position the printer’s IrDA port window in-line with the IrDA window of the CARDELL Monitor OR
connect the RS232 direct cable from the printer to the 9-pin RS 232 connector, located on the
rear panel of the CARDELL Monitor.
NOTE:
When using the IrDA port for printing, it is recommended to keep all items clear of the
communications path between the monitor and the printer.
Turn the printer “ON”. To turn the printer “ON”, press and hold the ON/OFF pushbutton for one
(1) second. The Power LED illuminates Green.
To turn the printer “OFF”, press and hold the ON/OFF pushbutton. The Power LED will
illuminate Red and change back to Green. When the LED illuminates Green, remove your finger
from the pushbutton.
NOTE:
If the printer was powered “ON” during the monitor’s power-up sequence, the Midmark logo is
printed.
The CMP-10 Mobile Printer contains an Auto Power Off feature. If the monitor and printer
become separated and after ten (10) minutes during which no data has been sent to the printer
and the Line Feed (LF) pushbutton has not been pressed, the printer will automatically shutoff.
The CARDELL Monitor will periodically send to the printer a “wake-up” message that will disable
the Auto Power Off feature.
