Driver Installation

ZJ-58 series printer driver: I. direct to install the diver procedures on WIN9X/2K/NT/XP; II. using serial and parallel direct to drive. III. Run the driver installation in diver CD.

1. Add a printer on “printer and scan” panel, and specify the driver files to drive disk. Just call the Print command in the program can begin print. upon this way, actually used by WINDOWS own print program, put the character into a pattern dot matrix method to print

2. Serial port and Parallel port direct drive Upon this way, no need to install supplier driver, the data(by byte) just needs to be sent directly to the port by command .The printer will print the character by line printing form instead of page form after transferring using internal font. It is more convenient.

3. Insert the driver CD open “POS58 driver” directory, Double-click the “setup.exe”. Select your operating system. Click next to continue the installation. See the following image:

15 IP Address Tool “Printer.exe”

² Set or Change Printer’s IP Address.

This program is effective for 58mm Ethernet printers and 80mm Ethernet printers. It used to set or change printer’s IP address.

In order to realize the data communication between the computer (or POS host) and the printer, the computer (or POS host) IP and the printer IP must be at the same gateway and the printer IP/ID must be unique. For example, the computer’s (or POS host) IP is 192.168.1.108, the printer’s IP must be set to 192.168.1.XXX, So it is the same gateway 192.168.1. with the computer (or POS host) and printers.

Note: For all the printers with LAN interface, the same IP 192.168.123.100 are always set as the initialization, so it is common to change your computer’s IP to match printer at the first. Because you must build a successful communication between computer and printer, and then you could make the printer work and change the printer’s IP.

16 For example, the computer (or POS host) IP is 192.168.1.108, the gateway is 192.168.1 the printer IP is 192.168.123.100. See the following steps for your reference.

1. Build a simple connection with printer and computer.

2. Change the computer IP to 192.168.123.108. Running the IP configuration program “Printer.exe”, you can see the current IP information on the program window as below:

3. Select the current printer type, and ”Enet” Port. You can check the communication status by clicking “Connect Test”. See the following picture:

4. Input a new IP address 192.168.1.XXX as you want, For example: 192.168.1.205. Then click the Set IP button. (Note: XXX must be a number between 0 to 255, not including 0 and 255). See the picture as below:

17 5. If changed successfully. There will pop up a response window (see the right picture). You also can print a self-test page to check again. (The current IP on the self-test page should be updated to 192.168.1.205). And then, you perhaps need to reset the computer IP to 192.168.1.XXX. (XXX must be a number between 0 to 255, not including 0 and 255, and must not be the same as any other IP address in the LAN).

6. Connect the printers and computers to LAN, check if working normally. See the following picture:

18 ² Change the printer ID

Normally, Users do not need to set or modify the printer ID, unless a conflict with other device’s ID around the LAN.

You can get the current unique ID of printer by finding from the self-testing page. For example: 000.202.255.017.246.232, Input the last four numbers 255.017.246.232 on the “LastFourMACAddress” field. Each number must be between 0 to 255(not including 0 and 255). If necessary, you can change it to avoid the conflict. See the following picture:

Self-test Operation 1. Make sure the printer is turned off, and paper has been installed correctly. 2. At the same time of turning the power button on. press and hold the “FEED” button for about 3”, when you release it the printer will start print a self-test page.

Printer Cleaning

When the printer has the following conditions, you should clean the print-head: 1. The printer does not print clearly and the thermal paper is Ok 2. The page-test printing is not crisp and clear 3. Paper feed is noisy

Printer cleaning steps are as follows: 1. Turn of the power to the printer and open the top cover. Remove the thermal paper roll. 2. If the printer was just printing then wait for the print head to cool down. 3. With a soft cotton cloth dipped in ethanol (please make sure there is no dripping), wipe the thermal printer head gently and remove any dust or stains. 4. Wait for the complete evaporation of any ethanol, then place the Thermal paper roll back in the printer and close the top cover, then print a test docket.

19 Other Notice

1. When doing maintenance on the printer, make sure the power is turned off. 2. Don't allow your hands or any metal object to touch the surface of the printer head. Beware that metal tools can damage the rubber roll, the sensor and other components in the printer. 3. Don't use any solvents on the components of the printer. 4.
