RELEASE NOTES

This driver package is intended for use ONLY with the following firmware versions:

TTP10x0 > 3.0

To find the version of firmware currently installed on your printer, depress the feed button on the side (rear on the 10x0) of the printer while turning on power. Release the button after a few seconds, and a self-test page will print, which includes the firmware version at the top.

EXAMPLE: 1662-300 = Product 1662 (TTP1020), Firmware 3.00

If you attempt to use this driver with older firmware versions, it will very likely not work due to communication with the Language Monitor! If you don't use bi-directional communication you can use the driver but you have to ensure that the "Enable bidirectional support" checkbox in the Port tab is unchecked. You need to restart the spooler after this setting.

To obtain updated firmware, please contact Swecoin. (North and South American customers: techsupport@swecoinus.com; All other locations: http://www.swecoin.se)

When corresponding with Swecoin about this driver package, please refer to version 2006.1.1.

KNOWN ISSUES

1. If you attempt to cancel a print job while using the parallel interface, you may experience a spooler delay of 90 seconds. This is a Windows port timeout. To reduce this delay, you need to change the transmission retry value. Go to your printer properties, Ports tab. Click Configure Port… and change this transmission retry value. The Language Monitor will attempt to make this change for you, but if you experience this delay, please verify the value manually.

2. Unlike previous versions of firmware and language monitor, you cannot use the Troy Ethernet Print Servers for bidirectional status over Ethernet, due to timing inconsistencies. There is no provision for status monitoring over Ethernet.

3. If the printer is power-cycled (power is interrupted) and you are using the parallel interface, the queued jobs in the spooler may not automatically continue.

4. Using the parallel interface, it may take up to 30 seconds for an error to be signaled. Please allow enough time in your application for this status to be returned.

5. In certain applications such as Microsoft Word and Internet Explorer, changing the Advanced Features like Scaling and Image Adjust has no effect. Any changes desired must be made directly in the printer’s printing preferences, and then the application must be restarted.

6. If the spooler or printer is power-cycled, and there is a pending error, this may not be signaled automatically until the next bidirectional operation comes through the spooler. This is because Windows deactivates the LM and does not restart it until it is required to process a bidirectional operation. If there is a pending error, the print job that encounters the error will be lost. To avoid losing any print jobs, manually inquire status before every print job.
