This product uses a modular connector for the customer display. Never connect a telephone line to this connector. Purpose of this Document This document is intended to provide all information necessary for system planning, design, installation and application of the UB-S09 for designers and developers of POS systems. Rev. B...
Manual information on handling the UB-S09 safely and correctly. Product Servicing This product cannot be serviced at the component level. If damage occurs, the UB-S09 should be replaced as a unit. General Product Specifications The UB-S09 is an RS-232 serial interface board with a custom display interface (DM-D) designed ...
Confidential UB-S09 Developer's Guide The parts of the UB-S09 are named as follows. Customer Display Serial Interface Warning Label Connector Connector Revision Information Revision Page Altered Items and Contents Rev. A Rev. B 2-2, 2-6 Description of hex mounting screws eliminated.
(*1) If pin 6 (DSR) is left unconnected, TM printer DIP switch DSW2-7 must be set to OFF (to disable reset via pin 6). This setting, in combination with the setting of jumper JP2 on the UB-S09, causes the printer to be continually reset.
Confidential Compatible Models TM Printers The UB-S09 can be used with the TM printer models supporting the same baud rate as the customer display except the RP-U420. Customer Displays The combinations of the customer display and the AC adapter other than the following combinations can be used with the UB-S09.
Confidential UB-S09 Developer's Guide Temperature/Humidity Conditions Refer to the TM printer and customer display specifications for operating temperature and humidity specifications. Other Limitations The power supply for the customer display is not switched on and off by the TM printer power switch.

Even when the power switch is off, voltage is still present at some points on the circuit board. Changing components while the Power Unit is connected can cause damage to the UB-S09 and the printer. ❏ A grounded wrist strap should be worn during installation, to avoid damage from static electricity.
As shipped from the factory, pins 2 and 3 of JP1 are shorted. Note: Do not set JP1 open (without jumper). If you short pins other than 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 of JP1, the UB-S09 will not operate correctly.
WARNING Do not set JP2 open (without jumper). Shorting pins other than 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 of JP2 could cause incorrect operation or damage to the UB-S09 communications IC. Jumper Locations The jumper locations are shown below.
TM printer with a DM-D Connector The customer display cable can be connected to either the connector on the UB-S09 or on the TM printer; however, it is recommended to connect the cable to the connector on the TM printer.

1. If an interface circuit board is already installed in the TM printer, remove it. Re-use the screws when installing the UB-S09. Install the UB-S09 using these screws. 2. Install the UB-S09 in the TM printer, and tighten the screws. Rev. B 2-6 Installation...
The Power Unit MUST be disconnected from the printer. Even when the printer is turned off, power is supplied to the customer display. Plugging or unplugging the customer display cable while the Power Unit is installed can damage the UB-S09 and the printer.

Confidential UB-S09 Developer's Guide Chapter 3 Operation Power On Sequence Turn power on in the following sequence. 1. Turn on the customer display. 2. Turn on the TM printer. Power Off Sequence Turn power off using the following sequence. 1. Turn the customer display off.
Confidential UB-S09 Developer's Guide Chapter 4 Function Description DTR/DSR Control The DTR signal indicates the BUSY/READY status of the TM printer: Space status indicates that the TM printer is READY, and Mark status indicates the printer is BUSY. The handshaking mode used by the TM printer to determine the conditions under which the printer becomes BUSY is determined by a DIP switch setting on the printer, as follows.
The term “online” refers to the state when any of the above conditions has been cancelled. The UB-S09 does not provide a data line connection from the customer display to the host, so XON/XOFF handshaking cannot be selected for the customer display. Select DTR/RTS when connecting the customer display.
UB-S09 Developer's Guide Printer Reset The UB-S09 can reset the TM printer through the serial interface by applying a signal to pin 6 or pin 9 of the interface. The reset signal logic can be selected by jumper JP2 on the UB-S09 for resetting using pin 6 (DSR).
