DC Operation
The printer is designed for direct connection to a +12V or +24V vehicle battery.
Alternatively, the user may make their own power supply arrangements as described
below.
1.8.1 Alternative Power Supply Arrangements
The ZG110 is designed to be operated from a 9V to 36V voltage source that is capable
of supplying the primary power for the printer.
The electrical specification for the power supply input of the ZG110 printer is:
The recommended power supply input is either a 12V or 24V vehicle battery, this allows
the printer to perform at its best. However, the printer will automatically accommodate
any DC input voltage in the range 9V to 36V.
1.9 Printer Firmware Revisions
The manufacturer reserves the right to modify and improve the firmware in its printer
products at any time. Every effort is made to ensure backward compatibility, however,
no guarantee in this respect is given or implied.

2.2 Connecting to a PC
1. Make hardware connections.
1a. Be sure the PC has a D-type serial connector; otherwise, a serial to USB
converter will need to be used.
2. Use one of the two serial ports for the ZG110, whichever is free.
3. Check that the printer wakes up when the paper feed button is pressed, and
that it produces a Self Test print.
4. Set up the computer's serial port to match the printer

4a. Your proposed application program may have a way of doing this, or you can
get to the DOS prompt [eg C:\>] and type the following command line
(assuming you have connected the printer to COM1:):
MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1 [ENTER]
4b. This will set up the port (COM1:) to 9600 baud, No parity, 8 data bits, and 1
stop bits which is the default setting for the ZG110.
5. Send some data to the printer from your computer
5a. An easy way to do this from the DOS prompt is to type:
DIR >COM1: [ENTER]
This should send a directory listing to the printer. The lines will probably overflow, but
it will at least show that the communication between the computer and the printer is
working.
You can also send data from QBASIC, for example:
OPEN "COM1:9600,N,8,1" FOR RANDOM AS #1
PRINT#1, "Hello"
Alternatively, in Windows, use the terminal (Hyper terminal) program to send some text
to the printer.
2.2.1 Application Program
Once communications between your computer and the printer have been established,
you can try driving the printer from your application program.
