SECTION 2. INSTALLATION AND CONFIGUR ATION INTRODUCTION This section is to assist you in taking the CT Series printer from the shipping container to the application environment.
UNPACKING Consider the following when unpacking the printer: • The box should stay upright. • Lift the printer out of the box carefully. • Remove the plastic covering from the printer. • Remove the accessory items from their protective containers.
SETTING UP THE PRINTER Consider the following when setting up the printer/ • Locate a solid flat surface with adequate room to set the printer. Make sure the Power Module can be located so that the power connecting cable can be attached to the printer and the AC Power Cable can be connected to an AC power outlet.
7. Apply power to the printer by plac ing the AC Power switch in the ON (1) position. 8. Print a test label to verify the printer is set up and operating corr ectly.
LOADING RIBBON (CT4XXTT only) The SATO CT Series ribbons come shrink-wrapped with a 12" (305 mm)leader pre-attached to a takeup core. There are three widths of ribbon available for the CT Series printers; 4.3" (110 mm), 3" (76 mm) and 1.
side of the ribbon will be in contact with the paper and the supply core is on the rear spindle. 7. Slide the Ribbon Spindle Unit over the Ribbon Drive Spindles until the Head Positioning Latch snaps into position. The first position corresponds to a 4.
LOADING MEDIA The CT Series printers can use die-cut labels, tag stock or continuous media. The media supply can be either roll or fanfold. Roll Media Roll media should be between 0.90" (23 mm) and 4.5" (115 mm) in width and wound face-out on a core with a minimum ID of 1.
come off the top of the roll. The Paper Guides will automatically position the Roll Holders to suspend the roll. 7. Route the label material through the Paper Sensor Assembly and over the Platen .
7. Close and latch Print Head Assembly . 8. After loading the ribbon and media, it is recommended that you run a Test Print to make sure the labels and ribbon (for CX4XXTT only) are correctly loaded. See Section 2 for instructions on how to run test prints.
LABEL SENSING The CT Series printers can use either label Gap (see-thru) or Eye-Mark (reflective) sensing. The Sensor Assembly is located on the left edge of the media and is automatically positioned by the Paper Guides. The printer is shipped from the factory with the default sensing method set for label gap.
OPERATOR PANEL The Operator Panel consists of three LED indicators and three switches. POWER Green LED, illuminated when power is applied. ERROR Red LED, illuminated when there is a system fault such as an open print head. ON LINE Green LED, illuminated when the printer is ON LINE and ready to receive data.
REAR CONNECTOR PANEL All of the printer cable connectors are located on the Rear Connector Panel. Power DC Power input to the printer. From Pow er Module. Parallel Interface IEEE1284 Parallel Interf ace Connector.. Optional Interface (if Installed) Connector for any installed optional interface.
CONFIGURATION PANEL The Configuration Panel can be accessed by opening the Top Cover. It consists of an eight position DIP switch, three adjustment potentiometers and a seven segment LED Error display. Receptacles for connecting the Dispenser and Cutter options are also located on this panel.
Font/Graphic Download (DS1-3). Enables the downloading of fonts and/or graphics to printer memory. Print Method (DSW4) . Selects Direct Thermal or Thermal Transfer print mode for a CT4XXTT printer. Head Check (DSW5) . When selected, the printer will check for head elements that are electrically malfunctioning.
Interface Select (DSW8). When OFF, the printer will activate the Parallel input port for receiving data. When ON, the printer will activate the optional interface (if any) that is installed. ERROR DISPLAY The ERROR dispay is a seven segment LED array that provides information on erro r conditions detected by the printer.
OFFSET There are three offset setting stored in the printer; one for Dispense mode, one for the Cut mode and one for the Tear-Off mode. These three offsets can be set independently for each job using .
5. Adjust potentiometer VR1 until the first print position is at the desired location on the label. If the potentiometer does not have enough range, you will have to change the Label Pitch setting using the <ESC>PO command. Note: The printer will return to the default settings specified by the <ESC>PG command when power is cycled.
Print Darkness Print Darkness is set using the <ESC>#E Print Darkness command. A fine adjustment for PRINT DARKNESS can be made using potentiometer VR1 on the Front Operator Panel. It provides a continuous range of adjustment, allowing you to make precise changes.
HEX DUMP DIAGNOSTIC LABEL The contents of the printer buffer can be examined using the Hex Dump mode. This printout labels each line of the received data in the left hand column, the data in hex format in the middle column followed by the same data in ASCII format in the right-hand column.
PRINT TEST LABELS USER TEST PRINT The User Test Label prints the current default setting of the printer. These settings can be changed by sending new default settings with the <ESC>PG Printer Setting command. 1. Press the FEED key while simultaneously turning the POWER switch ON.
FACTORY/SERVICE TEST PRINT The Factory/Service Test Label prints the internal operating parameters of the printer. 1. Open the print head by pushing the Head Latch Lever to the rear. 2. Press the LINE and FEED keys while simultaneously turning the POWER switch to the ON position.

SECTION 3. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INTRODUCTION This section provides information on user maintenance for the CL Series printers. This section contains the following information.
Print The fine adjustment for Print Darkness is the VR1 potentiometer on the operator panel. It provides a continuous range of adjustment, allowing you to make precise changes. Use a small cross-point screwdriver, turning clockwise for darker print and counterclockwise for lighter print.
5. Check for any blac k coloring or adhesive on the swab after cleaning. 6. Repeat if necessary until the swab is clean after it is passed over the head. 7. The head should be cleaned at least every time the ribbon is changed and more often in harsh environments.
5. View the Print Head Assembly from the front of the printer. Locate the mounting screw on the top of the assembly. It is accessible through a hole in the top of the assembly .
CLEANING THE SENSORS There are two sensors that are used to control the positioning of the label. One is a transmissive see-thru sensor that detects the edge of the label by looking through the backing paper which is translucent and detecting the presence of the opaque label.

SECTION 4. PROGRAMMING INTRODUCTION This section presents the commands that are used with the SATO CT Series printers to produce labels with logos, bar codes and alpha numeric data. All of the CT commands use the same syntax. Some commands reference a physical point on the label using horizontal and vertical dot reference numbers.
These commands set the operational parameters of the printer, like “set the print speed to 3.” <ESC> {Command} {Parameter} {Data} Some commands can contain both Parameter and Data elements, such as “print a Code 39 symbol containing the data”.
2. If you are using the printer’s RS232 interface, it is necessary to set the COM port on the PC such that the CTS and DSR signals will be ignored. Send your OPEN “COM” statement in the followin.
30 PRINT #1,CHR$ (2); Sends an <STX> (ASCII Code a decimal “2”) to the printer instructing it to prepare to receive a message. 50 PRINT #1,E$;"A"; Sends an “<ESC>A” command code to Print Port #1 opened by statement 20 above.

SECTION 5. INTERFACE SPECIFICATIONS INTRODUCTION This section presents the interface specifications for the CT Series printers. These specifications include detailed information on how to properly interface your pri nter with your host system.
other hosts. The USB interface allows the printer to be connected to a computer that supports peripherals attached to a USB bus. Up to 127 peripherals can be connected to a single USB port. When using an optional interface, DSW-8 on the Configuration panel must be placed in the OFF position.
The printer is able to continuously receive print jobs, compiling and printing other jobs at the same time. It acts much like a “print buffer” to maximize the performance of the host and the printer. When using the RS232 Serial interface, the Multi Job Buffer uses either the Ready/Busy with DTR (pin 20) or X-On/X-Off flow control protocols.
PIN SIGNAL DIRECTI ON PIN SIGNAL DIRECTION 1 STROBE To Printer 19 STROB E Return Reference 2 DA TA 1 To Printer 20 DA TA 1 Ret urn Referenc e 3 DA TA 2 To Printer 21 DA TA 2 Ret urn Referenc e 4 DA TA.
OPTIONAL RS232C SERIAL INTERFACE The High Speed Serial Interface is an factory installed option that must be installed in the printer at the time of order.
Cable Requirements READY/BUSY FLOW CONTROL Ready/Busy is the hardware flow control method for the serial interface on the CT printers. By raising/lowering the voltage level on Pin 20 of the RS232 port, the printer notifies the host when it is ready to receive data.
host must be capable of supporting this flow control method for it to function properly. X-On/X-Off FL OW CONTROL X-On/X-Off flow control is used whenever hardware (Ready/Busy) flow control is not available or desirable.
LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) OPTIONALINTERFACE A Local Area Network (LAN) interface is a factory installed interface option that must be specified at the time of order. When it is installed, the printer can be configured to receive data through the IEEE 1284 parallel interface or the optional LAN interface.
If an ENQ is received after the print job specified in the ID bytes has been completed, or there is no data in the buffer, the printer will respond with two “space” characters (20 hexadecimal) for the ID number, six “zero” char acters (30 hexadecimal) in the Remaining Labels bytes and the 16 byte Job Name.

STATUS RESPONSE The second method of determining printer status is to interrograte the printer with specific commands. The response from these commands will provide specific information about the printer status depending upon the command.

Counter Status (SOH + ME) Upon Receipt of an SOH (hexadecimal 01) followed immediately by an ME (hexadecimal 4D45) causes the printer to return a 28 byte Head Counter Status Word bounded by an STX-ETX pair that reports the current status of the printer life counters.
Head Status (SOH + HC) Upon Receipt of an SOH (hexadecimal 01) followed immediately by an HC (hexadecimal 4843) causes the printer to return a 1 byte Head Fault Status Word bounded by an STX-ETX pair that reports the current operating status of the print head.
Form Overlay Status (SOH + FO) Upon Receipt of an SOH (hexadecimal 01) followed immediately by an FO (hexadecimal 464F) causes the printer to return a 18 byte Form Overlay Status Word bounded by an STX-ETX pair that reports the Forms downloaded into the printer.
Font Configuration (SOH + F G) Upon Receipt of an SOH (hexadecimal 01) followed immediately by an FG (hexadecimal 4647) causes the printer to return a 102 byte Font/Graphics Status Word bounded by an STX-ET X pair that reports information on the stored font or graphic.
Interface Status Upon Receipt of an SOH (hexadecimal 01) followed immediately by an IG (hexadecimal 4947) causes the printer to return a 1 byte Interface Status Word bounded by an STX-ETX pair that reports the type of interface connection currently set in the printer.
SECTION 6. TROUBLESHOOTING This section has been devised to help you if you are unable to produce output on the CT Series printers. Use this section to make sure the basics have been checked before deciding you are unable to proceed any further.
a. Both ends of the cable are securely inserted into their respective connectors. b. The printer is ON-LINE. c. The cable is not defective. There are other things that can cause this error message on your computer, but at this stage, a defective cable may be one of the reasons.
USING THE RS232C SERIAL INTERFACE 1. Is the RS232C Serial cable connected securely to your serial port on the PC (DB- 25S or DB-9S Male) and to the RS232C connector on the printer? WARNING: Never connect or disconnect interface cables (or use a switch box) with power applied to either the printer or the host.
