How-To
The printer is usable via the accompanying print server via SSH.
To print a document, follow these steps:
- Choose a label roll and load it into the printer.
- Ensure the printer is powered on.
- Create a document, which works for the label roll you chose.
- So for the DK-11208 roll with 38x90mm labels, you need to have a document, which is 38x90mm and for the DK-22205 62mm continuous roll, you should be able to use documents of arbitrary length, as long as they are 62mm wide.
- For the DK-11208 (38x90mm) roll and the DK-22205 (62mm continuous) roll, there are document templates available in the label-templates repository.
- Send the document to the printer server via SSH to get it printed:
cat document.pdf | ssh print@ptouch-print-server.z9.ccchh.net <MediaType> <PageSize>
- Examples:
- For the DK-11208 (38x90mm) roll:
cat document.pdf | ssh print@ptouch-print-server.z9.ccchh.net labels 38x90mm
- For the DK-22205 (62mm continuous) roll:
cat document.pdf | ssh print@ptouch-print-server.z9.ccchh.net tape Custom.62xHEIGHT
(whereHEIGHT
is the length of the document)
- For the item-labels/38x90mm labels: Because the printer (driver?) handles the item labels incorrectly, after you printed an item label, you need to press the feed button once, so that the printer moves the document up again and you can cut the label off cleanly without cutting into the next one. For the same reason the item-label document template includes margins to correct for that weird behavior.
- Cut off the label using the built-in cutter.
This should work.™
If it doesn't, double check you have the correct document size, try a different size for the continous labels or try to print without images.
If the led blinks rapidly, press the feed button once to make it stop (reset?).
