Portable Printer
When using StarPRNT emulation:
To use the StarPRNT emulation, set the emulation setting of the printer to StarPRNT Mode. To
change the emulation, proceed as follows. (For SM-L200, it does not need to switch the emulation.)
Switching over between StarPRNT and ESC/POS emulation
1. Turn the printer power and open the printer cover.

2. Press and hold the POWER button and the FEED button simultaneously. As soon as the ERROR lamp
flashes five times, release the buttons. The emulation switchover takes place automatically.
3. After setting a paper, close the printer cover. The set emulation is printed out.
ESC/POS : EMU = ESC/POS Mode
StarPRNT : EMU = StarPRNT Mode
If the emulation is not switched correctly, repeat the above steps 1 to 3.
At that time, in step 2, make sure not to release the buttons until the lamp completes the 5th flash.
4. Please reboot the printer after switching the emulation. *It will be valid after rebooting the printer.
Network Interface
Assign an IP Address to the Star Printer and connect it to the network. Star Printers do not ship with an IP
Address pre-assigned; this can set by a DHCP network.
Use Star POS Printers with the #9100 Multi Session disabled. The setting can be confirmed by Test Print
which can be executed by holding down the printer's feed button while turning the printer on.
Refer to "guidelines-ethernet_en.pdf for how to confirm and change the #9100 Multi Session setting and
how to set the Static IP Address.

Step8. Double-click arrange [Button] and [Button_click] method will be created in [MainPage.xaml.cs].
20 / 90
Step9. Confirm printers name.
21 / 90
Step10. Add the following description to created [Button_click] method.

try
{
Windows.Storage.Streams.IBuffer buffer =
System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("Shift_JIS").GetBytes("Hello Windows8.1\n").AsBuffer();
using (StarIOPort.Port port = new StarIOPort.Port())
{
await port.ConnectAsync("BT:Star Micronics","");
await port.WriteAsync(buffer);
}
}
catch
{
}
22 / 90
Step11. Define [Button_click] method as a asynchronous method (keyword : async).
23 / 90
Step12. Execute Hands-On application 1.

[Hello Windows 8,1] will be printed.
24 / 90
2.4 Make Hands-On application 2

Make an application which can be printed with selecting the printer from a list enumerated by
StarIOPort runtime component.
Step1.
Go to "[Visual C#] -[Windows Store]-[New application(XAML)] from [Add a new project], then add
Hands-On application2 with any name.
Step2.
Do the same work as step3 - step6 of making 2.3 Hands-On application 1.
- Add the StarIOPort runtime component to project reference setting.

- Allow to use the printer with Hands-On application 2.
25 / 90
Step3.

<CollectionViewSource x:Name="ProductListSource"/>
</Page.Resources>
27 / 90
Step5.
Name [ProductListBox] from name of arranged [ListBox].
28 / 90
Step6.
Add the following description regarding ItemSource to [ListBox] code in [MainPage.xaml].
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource ProductListSource}}"
29 / 90
Step7.

{
productCollection = await StarIOPort.ProductInformation.FindAllAsync();
ProductListSource.Source = productCollection;
ProductListBox.SelectedIndex = 0;
}
catch
{
}
34 / 90
Step12.
Define [OnNavigatedTo] a method as asynchronous method(keyword: async).
35 / 90

38 / 90
2.5 Verify Printer Status and Monitor the Completion of Printing

There are no description either to verify Printer Status or to monitor the completion of
printing in Hands On applications 1 and 2.
However, users normally need to get those information.
In this section, you can add those descriptions into Hands On application 2.
Step1.
Add the description to disable the [ProductListBox] at the beginning and the description to
enable the [ProductListBox] at the end of the [ProductListBox_Tapped] method as shown
below.
By adding these descriptions, you can prevent multiple tap and confirm the printing
completion.
ProductListBox.IsEnabled = false;
ProductListBox.IsEnabled = true;
39 / 90
Step2.
Replace the description in the [using] part of the [ProductListBox_Tapped] method with the
following.
StarIOPort.Status status;
await port.ConnectAsync(info,"");
status = await port.BeginCheckedBlockAsync();
if (status.Offline == true)
{
throw new Exception("Printer is offline.");
}
if (await port.WriteAsync(buffer) != buffer.Length)
{
throw new Exception("WriteAsync failed.");
}
status = await port.EndCheckedBlockAsync();
if (status.Offline == true)
{
String message = "Printer is offline.";
if (status.ReceiptPaperEmpty == true)
{
message += "\nPaper is enmpty.";
}
if (status.CoverOpen == true)
{
message += "\nCover is open.";
}
throw new Exception(message);
}
40 / 90
Step3. Replace the description of the [catch] part in [ProductListBox_Tapped] method with the
following.
catch (Exception exc)
{
Windows.UI.Popups.MessageDialog dialog = new Windows.UI.Popups.MessageDialog(exc.Message);
dialog.ShowAsync();
}
41 / 90
Step4.
Execute Hands On application 2 and verify that the [ProductListBox] is disable after it is
tapped until the completion of printing.
Step5.
Verify the exception I generated and Printer is offline [MessageDialog] appearsuntil the
[ProductListBox] is tapped with the cover opened.

*3: Data timeout function (Bluetooth Interface only)
In case an error occurs while printing or no data is sent to the printer during a predetermined time,
the data canceling function will be executed.
To set the time value, specify from 0 to 255 (unit: second) in [value]. The default value is 3
seconds. If a value outside of the range is specified, it will be ignored.
This function prevents next print data from being printed incorrectly when the Bluetooth
connection is disconnected during data transmission.
The data timeout function is supported by TSP650II with F/W version 2.0 or later.

Step3. The following construction will be built by StarIOPort/StarIO_Extension runtime component

2.3 Make Hands-On application 1

Step2. The following construction will be built by Hands-On application addition.

Step5. Open [Package.appxmanifest] in project with the form of code.

<Capability Name="privateNetworkClientServer" />

Step9. Confirm printers name.

Step10. Add the following description to created [Button_click] method.

Step11. Define [Button_click] method as a asynchronous method (keyword : async).

Step12. Execute Hands-On application 1.

2.4 Make Hands-On application 2

Do the same work as step3 - step6 of making 2.3 Hands-On application 1.

- Add the StarIOPort runtime component to project reference setting.
