USER GUIDE P200N Printer Copyright 2003 Advanced Technologies, Inc.
Introduction Thank you for purchasing the P200N portable, battery operated, thermal serial printer. Your printer comes with this manual, two rolls of 2.25 in. thermal paper, a 9VDC wall adaptor, for charging the printer’s batteries, and a serial cable designed to hook up to the Copicode Alpha, the TC4N, and other products. Precharging the Batteries Your printer comes with internal Ni-Cd batteries that must be charged for about 8 hours prior to the printer being used for the first time.
Forwarding the Printer Paper To forward the thermal paper, press the paper scroll button between the ON and OFF buttons. Self Test Function It is easy to test the P200N for operation through a self test procedure. With the printer OFF, first press the paper scroll button, and while holding it, press the ON button for about a second.
If there is no activity for 10 seconds after a parameter is displayed for possible change, the final parameter settings are printed one more time, and the printer goes into normal READY mode. Parameter changes, if any, are saved if the 10 second timeout occurs, or if the LEFT ARROW button is pressed. Here is a list of the parameters that can be set, and their possible values. The bold value is the default value, which works out of the box for the Copicode Alpha.
