Setting audio signaling and order printing at Xprinter printers

Updated 

C260 printers are double, one is LAN, the other is BT - width of reels 80mm

By default, the printer is set to beep without a beep after each tone and can be printed without restriction. In other versions, the printer can be set up differently.

The C260 H / N series printers are primarily intended for printing orders in kitchens and noisy operations. They have light and sound signals with increased volume. This can only be adjusted using the instructions below with a Windows computer.

These functions can be set using the XPrinter V3.0C configuration tool. Download here. (The file is in .rar format, it is necessary to open it using eg: WinRAR). There are multiple files in the file, the only one you need is XPrinter.exe. Install it.

In the program, select the type of printer, in our case XP-80, and select the type of connection to the PC. Next, install the driver for your printer from the link here. (You no longer use the driver, it is only used to communicate with the printer)

 

Driver

It is possible that the program will run in another language. To change the language to English, click on the "English" button. Connect the printer using your USB cable a choose the correct type of printer.

 

Printer setup

We recommend that you print a self-test to find out the current printer settings. (see image below with self-test printed) Then select one of the versions and send the codes to the printer using the instructions.

NOW, SET UP THE PRINTER TO FULLY MEET YOUR NEEDS. You can use a combination of codes to determine different printing and beeping settings. 

Turn the printer off and on each time you change the code. 

 

Version 1: DOES NOT BEEP / BEEP when printing and allows you to print other orders without tearing off

In this version, the printer no longer beeps in the basic settings, but the function can be turned on using the button at the bottom of the printer (see the following instructions)
Cutter peel mode: no
Cutter with alarm: yes

Cutter idle alarm:: no

If you want the printer to BEEP when printing, flip the printer upside down and pull up the hidden rocker switch No. 2, at the bottom of the printer, to turn on the function.

 

Version 2: BEEPS twice > 2s > BEEPS until you tear off the order receipt, the next print will not print

Cutter peel mode: yes
Cutter with alarm: yes

Cutter idle alarm: yes

If you want the printer to BEEP when printing, flip the printer upside down and pull up the hidden rocker switch No. 2, at the bottom of the printer, to turn on the function.

 

Version 3: PRINTS ORDERS WITHOUT BEEP > 2s > BEEPS until you tear off the order receipts, the next print does not print until then

Cutter peel mode: yes
Cutter with alarm: no

Cutter idle alarm: yes

If you want the printer to BEEP when printing, flip the printer upside down and pull up the hidden rocker switch No. 2, at the bottom of the printer, to turn on the function.

 

Version 4: DOES NOT BEEP BEING when printing and allows you to print more bonuses without tearing off.

Cutter peel mode: no
Cutter with alarm: no
Cutter idle alarm: no

This setup completely turns off the sound. The printer will not beep even when the rocker switch No.2 is on.

Code setup procedure - XPrinter V3.0C configuration tool.

Now go back to XPrinter V3.0C. This program will most likely be in a foreign language, you will need to change the language by clicking on the 'English' button in the lower right corner.

Press the "Print" button to test your connection.

If the printer is printing, everything is set up correctly and we can start with the setup itself.

Step 1.
In the program, under "Content", delete the text and check the HEX box.

Step 2.
Enter the appropriate command (codes below the article) in the empty field. Copy the codes one by one, without the yes / no mark. (Ex: 1F 1B 1F BC 13 14 00).

Step 3.
Then send the code to the printer using the "Print" button.

The printer notifies you of the successful configuration by the blink notification and beeps.

The code settings can be verified on the printer's self-test. (Instructions for printing the self-test: switch off the printer, hold FEED and switch on, release FEED after the blue field goes out.)

This setting can be canceled anytime by putting your printer into factory settings by factory reset. (Turn off your printer, hold the FEED button a turn the printer back on, after 20 seconds, let go of the FEED button.)
