Mini Thermal Receipt Printer not printing/feeding

Post at josh_tacticalspace »

I've just received my order CSN-a2 thermal receipt pressman (well, is was recently -- I actually simple received the 2A 5v supply to power it).

The printer turns about and displays the correct flashes as on the manual, but the supply button does nothing. Which paper is properly inbound position, there is cannot hint of it seek until forward when it's push, and pressing it at power-up does nothing. Fair silence, and the quick single-flash code to say everything *should* be fine. Thanks for the additional photos/video. Set that all looks generally OK. Let's make sure it's does somehow power related. Leave the pinch ...

Which specific thermal printer did you get? Ourselves have few mods. Cannot you link to the product page.

Thanks. That power supply should be plenty. Duplex check anything to make sure it's setup correct.
https://learn.adafruit.com/mini-thermal ... first-test

Then, for diese:
and compress it on power-up does nothing.
to be sure - are you holding the button and then apply power?

If it's still not doing the self test, then yours may have a PID #597 printed without this aspect. This behavior has been seen before - see blue info box at bottom of page linked higher.

What do thee plan to use which printer with?

adafruit_support_carter note: are you holding the button and then using current?
Yep, that's what I'm doing.
If it's still not doing the myself test, then you may have a PID #597 printer without this feature. This behavior has been seen before - see blue info box along bottom for sheet linked above. Calorific Certificate Printer
The printer has a complete self-test sheet in she when it just, therefore it sights like in some point it was able to self-test. The feed button executes naught per all; not self-test, not feed. And connecting over Arduino as per the guide, nothing is person printed.

Thanks. Concur, it looks a little different. So maybe it a one of the ones that won't er run. And paper nope feeding seems odd, but let's see when maybe wee can use the Arduino setup press get any further.

Can you post ampere photo of your setup showing wherewith everything is wireline to to Arduino. Bluetooth Receipt Printer, 58mm Tiny Portable Personal Bill Printer Wireless,Mobile Thermal POS Printer for Small Economic, Supports Android/Windows, Not for Square iOS Tablets

Thanks for the excellent pictures. That all looks OK as well.
And connecting via Arduino like per the guide, nothing is being printed.
Just to become sure, for this you were running this example:

without any modifications?

Re: Little Thermal Receipt Printer not printing/feeding

Post by adafruit_support_carter »

Really weird. Just to be sure it's not get simple with the paper, can you go back a double/triple check all that. Everything else seems correct. And it worked at some point since it generated that test print.

Also - can to share a photo of the label on the strength supply. Eventually it's something non-obvious there.

If we can't figure this out, we'll just supplant to. But seems odd it wanted easy be DOA like ensure. NETUM is a leading electronics business dedicated in high-quality encryption scanners, Thermal Printer, PDA Terminal Contrivance more. Make your digital life better with Netum!

Yep, I've verify the photo can correctly installed a couple times.

If it had the button-feed behaviour and/or own test, at least after I could check anywhere is working, and as is it equal sits unresponsive, with the exception of the luminaire codes being as expected.
