Serial RS232C Connections
The RS232C Interface signals for the Mt3 Series printer are terminated on a 6
PIN RJ type data connector located on the side of the printer.
Six connections are provided from the Serial Interface to the host computer.
The Table below lists the Serial Interface signals and pin outs on the RJ connector and the connector pin locations are shown.
A minimum of two connections are required for operation: RXD – pin 3 and
Common – pin 1.
The communication Parameters: Baud rate, Data Bit and Parity must be set same as the host device settings. See Dip Switch setting table on the previous page.
RJ DATA CONNECTOR
16
Bluetooth Wireless Data Communication
The standard Mt3B printer has the Bluetooth module factory installed option.
It requires a host, which also has hardware compatible with the Bluetooth wireless communication standard. It also supports both Serial RS232 and IrDA compatible infrared communication interfaces, with the appropriate DIP switch settings.
The Bluetooth data link functions the same as IrDA with the important exception that no effort is required to physically align the host and printer in any particular fashion. If your printer is configured to use Bluetooth (see
“Configuration and Data Connectivity”), simply send the job from the host and tear off the output – no other action is required.
Bluetooth RF communication occurs at 19.2Kb/sec and odd parity which requires dip switch #3 to be set to the ON position for 19.2Kb/sec and dip switch #4 set to the ON position for odd parity. To gain access to the dip switch, open the paper door and remove the paper roll. The dip switch is
located at the middle of the paper roll slot. Refer to the pg. 14 for the proper
location of the referenced dip switch settings.
Dip switch #3 – ON
Dip switch #4 – ON
The Mt3B printer has been electronically modified to help extend the life of the internal battery cartridge due to the current demands of Bluetooth RF communication. The printer modification is such that the printer can be set to operate in either the MANUAL POWER OFF or CONTINUOUS ON mode of operation.
MANUAL POWER OFF mode:
When demonstrating RF wireless communication, turn the printer on by pressing the ON switch located on the left side of the printer. The printer will remain active waiting for the wireless print command. Pressing the ON switch again will turn the printer OFF. For each wireless demonstration, again turn the printer on by pressing the ON switch. Operation in this fashion will greatly extend the life of the battery cartridge.
Dip switch #3 – ON
Dip switch #4 – ON
EXTENDED CONTINUOUS ON mode;
If it were desired to leave the printer on for extended operation, it would be necessary to switch dip switch #8 to the ON position. Be aware that operating with dip switch #8 in this ON position means that the printer is always on placing the highest current demand from the battery resulting in reduced battery charge lift. To offset this situation, it is recommended to use the adapter to
17
provide additional trickle charging current to the internal battery to maintain the battery in a fully charged state. Placing dip switch #7 in the ON position, along with dip switch #8, allows for this type of extended operation. Dip switch #7 should always be used in conjunction with dip switch #8 when #8 is in either the ON or OFF position.
Dip switch #3 – ON
Dip switch #4 – ON

5. Moisten another cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol. Rub the swab across the black mark sensor to remove any build-up.
6. Moisten another cotton swab and rub the swab across the tear bar to remove any build-up.
You may experience dust build-up depending on the environment and the quality of the paper supply you use. If this occurs, use a can of compressed air to blow dust and paper debris out of the printer.
23
Charging The Printer Battery
The printer battery is charged using the wall mount adapter provided. Follow these steps to charge the battery pack:
1. Plug the power adapter into an appropriate wall socket; then plug the power adapter cord into Power Input Connector on the side of the printer. charging.
3. The Charge LED turns off when battery cartridge is fully charged. It takes 90 minutes to fast charge the battery pack.
4. To insure full charge, printer should not be operated while the battery is charging.
Important Notes On Charging The Battery
$ The battery Fast-charge is initiated each time the power adapter is connected to the printer.
$ The fast-charge controller checks the battery’s voltage and temperature, before the start of the fast recharge process. If the battery voltage or the temperature is outside of the fastcharge limits, the charger defaults to trickle charge at C/10 or 70mA rate.
$ Optional external battery chargers are available for Mt3
Series printers; a single bay fast rate charger and conditioner; a four bay trickle charger (12 hour cycle); and an in-vehicle 12v or 24v adaptor.
Verifying Battery Charge State
Follow these steps to identify and correct any battery power problem encountered. It is strongly recommended testing all printers before returning to
Printek. These will help to identify that the fault is with the printer and not some other part of your system.
24
