Important Notes
The IJ-7100 Printer is designed for use in office environments in combination with typical industry
standard computing devices. Operation of the printer in other environmental conditions or uses is
not supported.
•The IJ-7100 is shipped with and requires the use of a UL approved power supply. Use the
printer only with the provided power supply.
•If the IJ-7100 should require repair, this work MUST be performed by authorized service
personnel. Repairs made by unauthorized sources may lead to cancellation of the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Machine Safety
•Use only the specified ink-jet cartridges. Never force a cartridge into the holder. Many
cartridges look similar, but have differing mounting requirements.
•Keep the original packaging. Use this packaging for shipping the printer in the future to insure
against shipping damage.
•Condensation can occur when transporting the printer from a cold environment to a hot
humid one. Do not operate the printer unless it is completely dry.
•Keep liquids & foreign objects from getting inside the printer mechanism or electronics. This
can cause the printer to malfunction or become damaged.
•Dust, moisture, heat can all negatively affect the performance of the printer, but are unlikely
to cause lasting damage. Nonetheless, protecting the unit from these factors will insure the
best print quality.
Operator Safety
•ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING. “Disconnect”
means unplugging power cord, and not just turning off the power switch.

1 Introduction
The IJ-7100 Ink-Jet Transaction Printer is a modern, high-reliability transaction printer designed
for use in financial, POS and other applications. The IJ-7100 prints on 3 inch wide journal or
receipt paper, as well as inserted documents which may be of any size. The printer uses the
Hewlett-Packard C6602A Ink-Jet cartridge.
The printer is designed for ease of use. It features a small foot-print, automated paper loading,
simple intuitive operator controls and indicators, and reliable operation. The IJ-7100 is typically
connected to a Host computer through industry standard interfaces. RS-232C serial, USB and
Parallel interfaces are available. Printer firmware is stored in “Flash” memory, which supports
field updates of firmware, fonts, and logos.
The IJ-7100 may be installed with an “emulation,” which is a special set of firmware that allows
that printer to operate using the command set of another manufacturer’s printer. This facilitates
the installation of the IJ-7100 in many applications. Emulations are described also in section 1.2.

2 Installation
When installing the IJ-7100 printer, please follow the steps outlined in this section. Some steps
may not be required in your application. Please read through the entire chapter once before
beginning the installation process.
2.1 Unpacking
After unpacking, please check to see if you have received all components listed in the packing
list. Check for any obvious signs of shipping damage. If you are missing any items, please
contact your reseller immediately.
All packaging materials should be saved and re-used in the case the printer must be transported
in the future. Also, never discard any packaging materials whatsoever, until the printer is
completely installed and working properly.
2.2 Setup
The IJ-7100 printer should be installed on a flat surface, protected from extreme environmental
conditions such as dust, moisture, and heat. We also recommend against installing the printer in
direct sun-light as this can on occasion cause operational errors with the printer’s document
sensors, especially if attempting to operate the printer with its front cover (access lid) open.
Remove any protective elements added for shipping. These elements will vary depending on
model and shipping method. If included, they will be indicated and specified by color coded
instructions packed with the printer.
Refer to Figure 2.1 when attaching cables.

2.3 Cabling: Power / Communications
Please assure that the power switch is OFF before continuing. Then cable the IJ-7100 printer in
the following order:
1. Plug in the data communications cable. Attach also to proper computer port.
2. Plug the external power supply into a standard 120V outlet .
3. Plug the external power supply’s power cord into the printer.
2.4 DIP Switches
Set the DIP switches as required in your application. Your reseller should inform you of the
proper settings for your application. However, the defaults are the most common and it is
unlikely you will have to change the DIP switches. DIP switches are accessed at the rear of the
printer. The DIP switch usage on the IJ-7100 is:
DIP Switch Setting Usage Default
1 ON Firmware Download Mode
OFF Printing Mode *
2 ON Default Font is Standard Bold
OFF Default Font is Standard *
3 ON 38400 Baud
OFF 9600 Baud *
4 ON Reserved for future use.
OFF *
Notes:
•Firmware Download Mode is described in another document.
•The difference between Standard and Standard Bold font is both in stylization and
darkness.

2.5 Peripherals
Not applicable for this model.
2.6 Ink-Cartridge
Installation of the ink-cartridge is described in the Section 3.2. In addition, please follow any
information supplied with the ink-cartridge itself describing the removal of any protective shipping
elements.
2.7 Roll Paper: Receipt / Journal
Installation of roll paper is described in the Section 3.3. Use only the proper size paper. The use
of paper of smaller than specified width is not supported.
2.8 Default Font
If the Host computer fails to specify the font used, the printer will select its “Default” font. This can
be either the Standard Font or the Standard Bold Font, and this is specified by a DIP switch
setting.
Standard Font produces draft quality printing and is used to economize on ink usage. Standard
Bold is a darker and more modern looking font, easier to read and to image. On average,
Standard Font will extend the ink cartridge life by about 1.8X over Standard Bold. The actual
number will vary depending on your application and font mix.
In some cases, Standard Font may produce preferable print quality. For example, some recycled
papers are very absorbent and regular ink usage may appear overly dark and fuzzy.
