Portable Printers

Portable Printing - Common Information

The LT7102, LT7102H, LT7112, & LT7112H Models come equipped with Bluetooth Wireless Technology, allowing you to

wirelessly connect to a portable printer to print labels, receipts, price tags, or scan magstripe cards..

Keep in mind the following information when using these versatile printers:

 The printer turn on ("Wake-up") is accomplished by the RF Terminal toggling the DSR line on the printer, so only the @S

command and the data you are sending to the printer is needed.

 Once the RF Terminal has turned on the printer, it stays on until the host program turns it off using the POWER OFF COM-

MAND "ESC(0x1b)`p'(0x70)" described in the Printing Systems Programming Manual, or until the automatic shut-down

takes place (2 minute default).

 The 231 character limit applies to your command string. See your Portable Printing Systems Programming Manual for de-

tails on programming your printer.

Portable Receipt Printing – Portable Magstripe Scanning

There are many types portable direct thermal receipt printers label printers - Like Zebra Printers. These types of portable printer

can print simple receipts and can even include bar codes on the receipts, but you can’t print labels. The printer connects to the

7100 RF Terminal using Bluetooth wireless technology. Any brand of printer will work

Some models also are available with a magnetic stripe reader, allowing magnetic stripe input to the RF Terminal using the @M

(magstripe input) command.

These printers with magstripe input are capable of reading Track 1, Track 2 or Tracks 1&2. See your Portable Printing Systems

Programming Manual for the correct character string to send in the @M command to turn on the magstripe reader.

When the Terminal sends data to the host, it sends it in the following format:

RF Terminal ID + DATA + CR

Typically, the data is simply a string of characters, but in the instance of data coming from the magstripe reader, there are some

additional characters you need to be aware of. The magstripe reader sends its data in the following formats:

Track 1: T1: DATA

Track 2: T2: DATA

Track 1&2: T1: DATAT2: DATA

1 2 ... 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 ... 86 87
