4-1. RS-232 Serial Interface
RS-232 is developed according to the EIA standard asynchronous transmission, the
specifications are as following:
Data transmission: serial interface
Synchronization: asynchronous
Signal Level: RS-232 level, logic 1:-5.4v, logic 0 : +5.4v
Hardware Flow Control: None
Baud rate: 2400pbs to 115200pbs is optional
Data word length: 8 bits
Stop bit: 1bit
Parity: None
Users can get the current baud rate from the printer self-testing page.
Serial cable: We have made the cable specially using mini port like Mini USB port which
connects the printer .The following picture shows the signal definition of the RS-232 Serial
interface:
The connection between the printer and host follows the following rules:
Printer
Host
TXD
RXD
RXD
TXD
GND
GND
However, the printer usually works only on receiving data, it doesn’t have to respond anything
back to the host , then TXD signal can be ignored , and then the connection can be sampled as
following:
Printer
Host
RXD
TXD
GND
GND
4-2. Bluetooth Connection
Bluetooth is a proprietary open wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short
distances (using short-wavelength radio transmissions in the ISM band from
2400–2480 MHz) from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks (PANs)
with high levels of security.
4-2-1. Bluetooth specification
Using blueCore4-Ext chipset, fully compatible with Bluetooth 2.0;
High-sensitivity receive signal, small size, lower consumption
Supporting 1200bps ~ 1382400bps variety of baud rate;
Supporting SPP agreement, the maximum transfer speed is up to 3Mbit / s;
4-2-2. Use “AT” command to modify Bluetooth Module’s parameters
Notice: The following changes can’t be done by user, these should be done in factory by
Manufacturer. So if user wants to change these parameters, please inform our sales person
before ordering our printers.
Modify name---Send character string “AT+NAMEXXXX, feedback “Okname”;
For example, if you want change name to “LY58”, please send string “AT+NAMELY58”.
Modify PIN code--- Send character string “AT+PINXXXX, feedback “Oksetpin”;
For example, if you want change PIN code to “8888”, please send string”AT+PIN8888”.
(Note: Default PIN code is “1234”, you only can reset PIN code with four figures.)
Clear Bluetooth address--- Send character string “AT+CLR00”, feedback “Okclear”;
Modify baud rate--- Send character string “AT+BAUDX, feedback “Ok+current baud rate”;
X represents the baud rate code, as following:
1-----1200 7------57600
2-----2400 8------115200
3-----4800 9------230400
4-----9600 A------460800
5-----19200 B------921600
6------38400 C------1382400
For example, if you want to change baud rate to 115200bps, please send string “AT+BAUD8”.
4-2-3. Build connection.
1. Turn on the printer;
2. Search for the Bluetooth device with host device;
3. If there are other Bluetooth devices, please select “LY58”(for example) printer;
4. Enter default pairing code “1234”
5. Pairing succeed.
4-3. USB Interface
The printer is connected by standard Mini USB cable(included in accessories) for
communication. The USB type belongs to slave device type.

8.Cleaning of printer head
Cleaning of printer
When the printer has the following conditions, you should clean the
printer head:
①
The printer does not print clearly and the thermal paper is Ok.
②
The printer Print pages lengthways is not clear
③
It’s getting too noisy while feeding paper or printing.
Printer head cleaning steps are as follows:
1. Power off the printer and open the paper room cover. Remove the thermal paper roll.
2. If the printer just finished printing , please wait for the print head to cool down.
3. With a soft cotton cloth dipped in ethanol (please make sure there is no dripping), wipe
the thermal printer head gently and remove any dust or stains.
4. Wait for the complete evaporation of any ethanol, then place the thermal paper roll back
in the printer and close the paper room cover, then print a test page.
Notes
：
When the printer maintenance must ensure that the power is shut down
Hands or other metal tools away from the surface of the printer head,do not use
tweezers to scratch the surface of the printer head and other sensitive parts.
Do not use gasoline,acetone and other organic solvents for printer head cleaning.
9.General Troubleshooting
1: Why serial port printer printing messy code?
A: Ensure the baud rate setting in the PC is same as the printer baud rate. ( we can
see printer baud rate from self test page)
2: Self printing test is ok,but printer does not work after driver installation.
A: Recheck the installation according to above installation wizard and see if we
selected the right port or ask service center for advice if needed.
3: Malfunction of paper feeding?
A: Use soft brush to clean the paper sensor and try again or send it to the service
center for repair.
4
．
Malfunction of the indicator light
A: Check the cable connecting way / adapter / power cord / switch on or off? Or
contact the service center for repair.

．
Messy code printing except Arabic numeral printing.
A: language switching incorrectly,please turn on the SW-4 switch on the DIP
switches.
6
．
Red indicator keep flashing during the printing.
A: Usually it is due to the high temperature of the print head. If printing
stopped,please contact the service center for repair.
7. Printing speed is very slow for serial printer
A: follow this path and change the set accordingly : Driver -- Properties -- Device
Settings -- Print Mode -- Print as soft font.
8. Water or other liquid spills into the printer
