CUSTOM TGO2 Printer

The TGO2 printer is 12 volts DC not 24 Volts DC.

There is a crossover adapter sent with each printer.

This goes on CON 10. Unplug CON 10 from I/O and plug the cable

into the adapter then plug adapter into CON 10.

If the printer came through me then it has been set to 38400 baud already.
(If not see the note at bottom.)

Cut power,

On the OLD printer unplug and remove the door and printer. The plug can now be cut off. The “Normal” Wiring is a blue and black set of wires. The black is ground blue or purple is hot. (When I install them in a unit I do not use the pig tail I send with them)

ACTIVA BAUD RATE

Shut down Application, Go to Control Panel

Printers/Faxes. Right click on the FTP627 printer and remove
Make sure the custom Printer is default now. Make sure it is on Com 4 Right click the custom printer to properties, check the port setting and put on com 4 if not there already. Hit configure the port and set at 38400 Baud (New Image sets this already)

After installing the printer and changing the stuff in the control panel I reboot the system and it makes the printer work.

( Because it is the software in the program making the printer change, the app needs to run to print. )

Setting Baud on printer.

They come to us set at 9600 baud. To change this cut power, hold down BOTH buttons on the side of printer. Re connect power and it should start printing a little strip showing the baud . Hit the FEED button to enter set up then hit the report button 3 times. This should have got you to the 3800 baud. If not repeat the steps until 38400 is set. Then hit the feed button7 times this last one should have printed out a slip showing that the baud is now 38400.

(I leave one hanging on all printers I touch) After I have set it in control panel and printer I change in the system set up to be the CUSTOM printer. I then REBOOT and it all works.

When all set it should be:

Baud Rate: 38400 Data Bits: 8 Stop Bits: 1 Parity: None Flow Control: XON/XOFF Print density: Normal Speed: High
