MAN607-S 1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION This reference manual describes the specifications, functions, and operating procedures for the PRN607-S Interface Board. The PRN607-S is an interface board for the FTP607MCLxxx series printer mechanisms. This reference manual also describes the print operation of the FTP607MCLxxx. Read this reference manual thoroughly before using the PRN607-S. PRN607-S is designed for the following Fujitsu printers: FTP627MCLxxx FTP637MCLxxx PRN607-S consists of an interface board.
PAGE 8
MAN607-S (a) To connect or remove the connector, always turn off the power in advance. If the connector is connected or removed while the power to the printer is on, errors may occur. (b) The connector of each cable must be correctly locked and connected. The connector at the head side has no lock feature. Check that the connector at the head side is completely inserted. (c) To install the interface, carefully check each cable so that excessive force is not applied to each cable.

PAGE 13
MAN607-S Framing error (?: 3F16) If the input data cannot be printed correctly and instead “!” or “?” is printed, the transmission conditions between the host device and the PRN607-S most likely does not match. If this happens, adjust the conditions so that they match. 2.6.3 Thermal Head Control Data Transfer to the Thermal Head The PRN607-S transfers one dot line of data at 4 Mbps synchronized with the CLOCK signal.
PAGE 14
MAN607-S 64 through 256 dots can, however, are set using the command for setting the number of dynamic division dots. When the maximum number of activated dots is 128 dots, and all of the dots are driven, as shown in 2.6.6 Head Control Circuit The PRN607-S has a function for measuring the resistance of the thermal head connected to the FTP607MCLxxx. The PRN607-S measures the resistance of the thermal head and detects the errors at initialisation.

MAN607-S 4 Function 4.1 General Notice, when data is sent from the external equipment to the printer controller, all data has to be sent as binary file. If data is being sent as a character file, and some data in the file is equal to EOF, the rest will not be received. 4.2 Serial communication. Standard communication is; Baud rate; 115.200 Baud Data bits = 8 Stop bits = 1. Parity = None Flow control = Hardware handshake Baud rate can be changed. See setting for more information. 4.3 USB communication.

MAN607-S 4.5 Firmware upgrade. If firmware needs to be changed, alternative firmware can be downloaded. Please contact I/F-COM for firmware upgrade or changes. The steps to download an alternative firmware in DOS are the following. These steps only work for a serial connection, look further down how to do it with USB. 1. Power the system off. 2. Disconnect printer. 3. Short circuit the pins “upgrade firmware” 4. Turn on printer 5.

MAN607-S [Function] The HT command moves the printing position to the tab position. [Code] [09]16 [09]10 [Explanation] 1. If the next horizontal tab position is not set, the HT command is ignored. 2. If the next horizontal tab position is outside the printing area, the printing position is shifted to the proper position by adding 1 to the printing area width. 3.
