Aura Series

(PP-7000-III / PP-7000U-III)

THERMAL PRINTER

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

A. INTERFACES

1. Peripheral interface

The connector for peripheral control is a 6P6C RJ11 jack with

the following pin assignment. The best recommended cash drawers to

this connector are Posiflex CR3100, CR3200, CR4000 and CR4100.

Using the cable 20863018001 (CCBLA-180-1) delivered with the

cash drawer, the Aura series can control one dedicated cash drawer.

However, by using an optional split cable 20867023800 (CCBLA-

238), Aura series controls two cash drawers through this connector.

Please connect the CR1 plug to the cash drawer (CRA) to be opened

by command Esc p 1 n1 n2 and the CR2 plug to the cash drawer

(CRB) to be opened by command Esc p 0 n1 n2

B. SETUP WINDOW

On bottom cover of the Aura series thermal printer, there is

screwed a metal plate for setup window. In this window, there is

a 8 position DIP switch for printer setup. Please use proper tool

to change the switch setting when necessary. The switch

position counting starts from the nearest edge of printer. The

ON direction points to the connector area of the printer. The

OFF direction points to the power switch. The functions of each

position may evolve with the revisions of the firmware. The

information below applies to the latest version to the date of

print of this manual.

This 8 position DIP switch works as following:

3Even parity None parity

4XON handshaking Hardware handshaking

5Busy on “buffer full” Busy on “off line”

6Immediate cut Protective cut

7CR code effective CR code ineffective

8Factory internal setting Application standard mode

Part 3

Effect of positions 1 & 2 on baud rate is defined as in table below

with parity check set according to position 3, number of data bits

always set to 8, and stop bit set to 1. When the parallel interface is

used, please set both positions to ON.

ON OFF ON OFF

SW Pos. 2

ON ON OFF OFF

Baud rate

or Interface

38400 bps /

(Parallel) 4800 bps 9600 bps 19200 bps

Switch position 3 defines the parity check regulation in serial

interface. In Aura, it is selectable between even and none.

Switch position 4 defines the handshaking method in serial

interface. When it is set to ON, the printer transmits an “XOFF” for

busy and sends an “XON” for not busy. When it is set to OFF, the

printer signifies the busy status over hardware signals that can be

detected by the host as “DSR” or “CTS”. When parallel interface is

used, both switch positions 3 and 4 should be set to OFF.

For switch position 5, if the switch is set to ON, the busy signal is

sent to host only when input buffer is full. When it is set to OFF, busy

signal is sent to host whenever an off line status occurs. Therefore,

signals including the paper near end detect will generate busy signal to

the host. Consequently, the printing may be stopped even when there is

still a long way to go before the paper roll is actually exhausted. Taking

the paper out beep into consideration, the printer will keep on beeping

at Paper End (completely no paper) till paper is replaced when S1-5 is

ON. Yet when S1-5 is OFF, the printer will keep on beeping every 3

seconds at Paper Near End (still long paper in replace) till paper is

replaced.

For switch position 6, when it is set to OFF, there will be a 20

mm paper feed before cutting when software does not define this point

and there will be further 10 mm paper after cutting to prevent paper jam.

Before setting this switch to ON, please make sure that your software

will take care of enough paper feed for the paper jam prevention issue.

For switch position 8, when it is set to ON in the field, the printer

maybe subject to unpredictable damages and must be strictly prevented.

The factory default for each position is listed below:

C. INTERNAL SWITCH

There is an extra internal 4 position DIP switch in PP-7000-III

series for more technical settings. To access these setup, please first

turn off the printer power and disconnect every cable from the printer.

Remove 4 screws from bottom of printer and remove the plastic bottom

cover with the power switch pressed. The 4 position DIP switch seats

beside the 8 position DIP switch for setup window with the switch

position counting starts from the nearest side to the 8 position DIP

switch.

This 4 position DIP switch works as following:

Switch position Setting Effect

Function ON OFF

Factory internal setting Disable Default

Paper width 58 mm 80 mm

Line format 576 dots / line 512 dots / line

Reserved N. A. N. A.

The Switch position 1 default set to ON.The print speed is fixed

at 42.5 lines/sec.

Switch position 2 is usually set to OFF for use with 80 mm paper

width. When the printer is installed with the 58 mm paper guide adaptor

for use with the paper roll of 58 mm width, the switch should be set to

ON in PP-7000-III & PP-7000U-III.

Switch position 3 is usually set to OFF for ESC/POS command

application that prints at 512 dots / line. Only technical users shall set

this switch to ON and make the printer work in the 576 dots / line

format.

D. SOFTWARE COMMANDS

The Aura thermal printer supports all commands applicable to

Epson printer TM-T88III. The only difference is the smoothening

command in enlarged text fonts. Please visit our web site

http://www.posiflex.com or http://www.posiflex.com.tw for detail

Part 5

description of the supported commands if required.

1. Paper out alarm

When Paper End signal is detected, the printer keeps on intensive

beeping and stops receiving data till the signal is neutralized. When

Paper Near End signal is detected, the printer gives a beep every 3

seconds and stops receiving data.

2. Enhancement commands

Following commands are included in the printer firmware version

since ver. 3.2:

ESC ‘o’: Beep command

GS ‘o’ m: Beep definition (0 < m ≦16, default 3 seconds)

ESC ‘p’ m n1 n2: Cash drawer kick or kitchen bell drive

command

GS ‘p’ m n: Beep when cash drawer remain open (0 < m < 256, n

= ‘0’ or ‘1’)

Explanations as below:

ESC ‘o’: Beep command

Hexadecimal codes are: 1B 6F

Printer beeps when this command is received per condition set by

beep definition.

GS ‘o’ m: Beep definition (0 < m ≦16, default 3 seconds)

Hexadecimal codes are: 1D 6F m

This command defines length of beep as m seconds when beep

command is received. When m = 0, default applies.

ESC ‘p’ m n1 n2: Kitchen bell drive command (m = ‘0’, 0 ≦

n1 ≦n2 ≦255)

Hexadecimal codes are: 1B 70 m n1 n2

This command can be used to drive a kitchen bell purchased

from Posiflex when this printer is used as a kitchen printer and the

environment could be so noisy that the beeper for reminding the kitchen

staff of the printing can be not loud enough. After fixing the kitchen

Part 6

bell onto say a kitchen wall, connect the cable from the bell to the

peripheral connector on the printer. Then use this command with m set

to 0 and both n1 and n2 set to 255. The printer will be able to drive the

kitchen bell for about half a second on each such command. If this

command is sent to the printer multiple times consecutively, the bell

will ring for about half a second and rest for also about half a second

then ring again for multiple times.

GS ‘p’ m n: Beep when cash drawer remain open (0 < m <

256, n = ‘0’ or ‘1’)

Hexadecimal codes are: 1D 70 m n

If the cash drawer connected to the printer remains open for more

than m seconds, the printer beeps until the drawer is closed. If m = 0,

this function is disabled. The factory default of the printer is set to

disable this function. The parameter n in this command identifies the

way cash drawer indicates drawer open status. n = ‘0’ (30H) applies

to drawers giving an “open” signal when cash drawer is opened. n =

‘1’ (31H) applies to drawers giving a “short” signal when drawer is

opened. Any value of the parameters outside the defined range will

cause the entire command ignored.

E. CHARACTER CODE PAGES

Aura PP-7000-III & PP-7000U-III series support all code pages

and international character sets applicable to Epson printer TM-T88.

There are five models for character sets application as standard model,

European model, Greek model, Arabicmodel and Lithuanian model

include USA; France; Germany; UK; Denmark I; Sweden; Italy; Spain;

character set code from 0 to D and Ex-Jugoslavia for character set code

If any undefined code (<00> to <1F>) or an undefined <ESC>, <FS>,

or <GS> command sequence beyond these tables is received, the code

or the sequence of codes will be discarded. (However, when received

within image print data, character registration data, or command

parameters, they are handled as ordinary data.)
