2. THEORY OF OPERATION 2.1 Electrical Operation The electrical operation of the printer circuit is described in this section. 2.1.1 Summary Fig. 2-1 shows the block diagram of the printer. The control board is made up of the microprocessors, peripheral circuits, drive circuits, sensors and interface connectors. The power to the control board is supplied by the power board through the connector cord. The power to other electrical parts is also distributed through the connectors within the control board.

(2) Program ROM This is a 256 × 16 bits (4M bit) [MAX] EPROM with the control program for the printer stored. The MPU executes instructions under this program. The program ROM is assigned to the program memory area of the MPU and is fetched by the PSEN signal of the MPU. The following shows the operation of the memory access.
(3) RAM (MSM51C464A-80RS) The RAM is CMOS dynamic RAM with (64K × 4-bit) × 2 configuration, and used as buffers (such as receiving buffer, printing buffer, DLL buffer and working buffer). The following shows the examples of the memory access operation. MPU RAM 1 (Q3) A0~A7 P03 CS1 RAM 2 (Q4) RAS CAS D0~D3 D4~D7 OE RD Clockout* T1 T2 T3 A0~A7 CS1~CS4 RD D0~D7 (Read) WRH WRL D0~D7 (Write) 8-bit bus, byte instruction * Clockout is provided when the original excitation is selected.
(4) EEPROM The EEPROM is a CMOS serial I/O type memory which is capable of electrically erasing and writing 1,024 bits. The EEPROM contains menu data. The following shows the memory access operation.
(5) LSI This LSI detects and controls the SP motor speeds by monitoring the two phase sensor signals obtained from the DC motors and modifying the excitation phases as appropriate. This LSI is connected in multiplex to the MPU. MPU LSI A/D bus P07 ALE RD WRL RDN WRL P01 LSIC Clockout* A0~A19 LSICS ALE D0~D15 (Read) Address Data RD D0~D15 (Write) Address Data WRL * Clockout is provided when the original excitation is selected.
2.1.3 Initialization This printer is initialized when the power is turned on or when the I-PRIME-N signal is input from the host side via the parallel interface. For the initialize operation, the RST-N signal is first output from the reset circuit to reset the MPUs and LSIs. When resetting ends, the program starts and the LSIs are reset by MPU via LSIRST-N. Reset operation by I-PRIME starts program to initialize, but does not reset the MPU.
2.1.4 Parallel Interface Control The parallel data input from the host to the interfaced LSI is latched to its internal register at the falling edge of the STROBE-N signal. At the same time, the LSI sets the BUSY signal to the high level to inform the host that the data is being processed, and outputs the RXD signal to inform the MPU of data reception. The data is read upon receiving the RD-N signal from the MPU.
2.1.5 Print Control Print data is transmitted as parallel data (HEAD1~HEAD9) from LSI to print head. LSI generates print timing and drive time.
Print Compensation Control The print compensation can be made as shown below: (a) Voltage compensation (See 2.1.8 “Alarm Circuit.”) (b) Temperature compensation (See 2.1.8 “Alarm Circuit.”) (c) Pin stroke compensation Platen Print Head Pin 1, 2 As shown in the drawing left, the stroke length up to the platen is different for each pin.
(e) Print mode compensation According to the thickness of the printing medium, the print mode is compensated as shown in the table below: Head Gap Range Print speed Drive time 1 2 3 4 5 100% 95% 85% 85% 80% Short Long (Drive time lengthens at each step.
2.1.6 SP/LF Motor Control (1) Space motor control The SP motor driver (HA13412) drives the three-phase brushless motor based on the phase signal (SPU, SPV and SPW) and the speed instruction data from the LSI. The MPU can identify the current speed of the space motor by measuring through the LSI the pulse length of the output (øA, øB) of the slit encoder included in the space motor.
(2) Encoder disk In the operation of the spacing motor, the PHASE-A and PHASE-B signals are generated when the encoder disk interrupts the photo sensor. The LSI divides these edge pulse signals in accordance with the print pitch, and sends the IPT signal to provide dot-on timing and carriage position detection timing.
(3) LF motor control The LF motor driver (MTD2005F) drives the LF motor in two-phase or 1-2 phase bipolar, based on the phase changeover data and the output current data from the LSI. The data from the LSI is processed by a specific register contained in the LF motor driver to measure the overdrive time and to change the phase.
2.1.7 Operation Panel The clock synchronization OPCLK of LSI is used to input the switch data and output the LED data through the operation panel control LSI (IC1: BU5148S). LSI OPTD OPTXD 77 OPCLK OPCK 78 OPCLR-N NPA2 80 OPRXD OPRD 79 Command and Data latch LED driver +5V Switch controller A 2-byte (15 bits + 1 even parity bit) command (OPTXD) is transmitted to the LSI (BU5148S) in synchronization with the OPCLK signal.

This is because the bit 0 to bit 3 of OPRXD are fixed so that the response can be returned before decoding the command.
2.1.8 Alarm Circuit (1) Head drive time alarm circuit This circuit monitors the drive time using the HDALM signal interlocked with the overdrive signal of each drive circuit. If the drive time of any drive circuit exceeds the specified time, the drive fault alarm circuit sends an ALARM-N signal to turn on the SCR (SO). This cause the secondary coil (40V) of the transformer to be short-circuited, causing an overcurrent to flow through the primary coil and making the AC fuse (transformer assy) open.
(3) Head overheat alarm The voltage of the output TSD signal of the thermistors, one of which is contained in the print head and the other in the print head driver, is monitored by the CPU/AD port to control the voltage Temp Stop 119°C Mode up α°C ß°C Mode down Mode and print control Mode Speed Pass Direction 1 100% 1 Bi 2 85% 1 Bi 3 70% 1 Bi 4 55% 1 Bi 5 40% 1 Bi 6 30% 1 Bi (7) Stop 1.
2.1.9 Power Supply Circuit This power supply circuit supplies the +5VDC, +8VDC, +40VDC, 10VAC. Control Board SW Fuse Noise filter circuit Transformer Rectifier +40V Rectifier +8V Regulation Circuit +5V AC10V The uses of output voltages and signals are described below.
2.2 Mechanical Operation 2.2.1 Printhead Mechanism and Operation (See Figure 2-2.) The printhead is a spring charged 9-pin driving head using a permanent magnet. It is attached to the carriage, which moves in parallel with the platen. Electrically, this unit is connected to the control circuits through the control board.
(2) Operation of printhead (See Figure 2-3.) (a) When the printhead is idle, the armature is attracted by a permanent magnet and the spring fixing the armature is compressed. The print wires fixed to each armature are thus concealed under the wire guide. (b) When a signal for a character to be printed is detected, a current flows through the coil.

2.2.2 Spacing Operation (See Figure 2-4.) The spacing mechanism consists of a carriage shaft mounted in parallel with the platen, and a carriage frame that moves along the shaft. It is driven by a DC motor mounted on the bottom of the carriage frame.
Print Head Carriage shaft Space rack Carriage frame Encoder disk Encoder sensor Motor gear Slider Guide rail Figure 2-4 2 – 24
2.2.3 Head Gap Adjusting (See Figure 2-5.) The head gap adjusting lever moves back and forth to tilt the carriage frame, altering the gap between the printhead and the platen. The adjusting screw, which is connected to the adjusting gear rotates when the adjusting lever is moved creating a fine gap adjustment. If the adjusting gear is pushed down, the adjusting screw can be turned with a screw driver to change the coarse gap adjustment.

2.2.4 Ribbon Drive (See Figure 2-6.) The ribbon driver mechanism moves the ribbon in synchronization with the space motor operation. The ribbon drive mechanism consist of the following items: (1) (a) Ribbon drive gear assembly (b) Ribbon gear (space motor) (c) Ribbon cartridge Ribbon cartridge An endless ribbon with a single direction feed is used. Ink is supplied from an ink tank, which is built in to the ribbon cartridge.
Ribbon cartridge Drive gear Ink tank Figure 2-6 2 – 28
2.2.5 Paper Feed Operation Feeding of the paper is performed by turning the platen and the pin tractor, which is driven by the LF pulse motor.
(1) Cut sheet and continuous sheet switching mechanism (See Figure 2-8.) Three different paper paths can be selected and set by the change lever. (a) TOP (for cut sheet) When the cut sheet is used in the manual mode or fed by the CSF (option), set the change lever at the position marked TOP. [Operation] The driving force of the platen gear (R) is transmitted to the idle gear by setting the change lever to the TOP position.
(c) BOTTOM (Continuous sheet from bottom feeder) (option) When the change lever is set in the BOTTOM position, the rotation of the platen is transmitted to the drive gear of the bottom tractor feed unit through the idle gear to feed the sheet which has been set in the bottom tractor feed. At the same time, the switch lever turns on the bottom switch, to confirm to the control board that you are in the continuous sheet mode.
Control Power supply Assy Bottom switch Switch lever Change gear shaft Rear switch Change lever Release shaft Change arm TOP Platen BOTTOM Change lever REAR Tractor gear Change gear Platen gear (R) Reset spring Idle gear (Bottom tractor unit) Figure 2-8 2 – 32
(2) Cut-sheet feeder operation (See Figure 2-9.) The pulse motor used for the paper feed mechanism is mounted on the left of the frame, and the rotation of the motor is transmitted through decelerating gears (LF idle gear, platen gear) to the platen. When using cut-sheet paper, the change lever must be in the TOP position to grab the paper, while disengaging the push tractor.
(3) Continuous paper feed operation (Rear) (See Figure 2-10.) The force transmitted to the platen, rotates the tractor gear through platen gear, the idler gear and the change gear. The rotation of the tractor gear makes the pin tractor belt rotate through a sheet feeder shaft, feeding the continuous paper.
(4) Push and pull tractor mechanism (Option) (See Figure 2-11). This mechanism consist of an optional pull tractor and a standard push tractor mechanism. This mechanism can perform forward and reverse feed by setting continuous sheets to the push tractor and pull tractor. The rotation of the platen is transmitted to the push tractor and the pull tractor. Sheets are fed by these two tractors at the same time.
(5) Pull tractor mechanism (option) (See Figure 2-12.) Bottom feed of continuous sheets is possible only when an optional pull tractor unit is installed. The rotation of the platen is transmitted to the idle gear of the pull tractor unit through the platen gear at the left end of the platen. The rotation of the idle gear is transmitted to the drive gear, and continuous sheet forms are fed by the pull tractor being rotated through the sheet feeder shaft.
(6) Bottom push feed operation (Option) (See Figure 2-13.) The bottom push feed of the continuous sheet is possible only when the bottom tractor feed unit is installed. When the platen rotates, the rotational force of the platen is transmitted through the tractor idle gear and the tractor change gear to the tractor drive gear of the bottom push tractor, and the sheet of paper is fed in to the print start position.
(7) Paper clamp mechanism (See Figure 2-14.) When setting the change lever to the BOTTOM , TOP or REAR position, the operation of the front release gear arm changes according to the position of the release cam. And at the same time, the position of the cam installed to the front release gear shaft changes, and the open and close of the pressure roller.
TOP Change lever Release cam Platen Front release gear arm BOTTOM REAR Figure 2-14 2 – 39
2.2.6 Paper Detection Mechanism (See Figure 2-15.) (1) Cut sheet detection When the cut sheet is inserted, the point A is pushed backward and the paper near end lever B rotates counter clockwise (CCW). At this time, the rear sensor lever rotates counterclockwise (CCW), the rear sensor lever and pulls out of the rear and top paper end sensor to detect that the sheet is provided.
Paper end sensor Sensor lever A Shaded portion Paper end lever B Bottom paper end lever Figure 2-15 2 – 41
(4) Top line print mechanism (See Figure 2-16.) The front edge of the sheet is protected by the ribbon protector so that it can stop at a position just near to the print head (0 tear off position) to start printing at the front end of the sheet, without causing the sheet to crumple or curl up. The printing starts at the front end of the sheet, and continues uni-directionally until the front end of the sheet gets to the inside of the pull up roller cover.

2.2.7 Automatic Sheet Feed This function is used to feed in the sheet automatically up to the print start position when the cut sheet or the continuous sheet is used. [Operational procedure] (1) When using the cut sheet 1) Set the change lever to the TOP position. (See Figure 2-17.) 2) Insert a sheet of paper between the platen and the paper shoot. 3) After the lapse of time selected by the “wait time” in the menu, the LF motor starts its operation to feed the sheet of paper up to the print position.
(2) When using the continouos paper 1) Set the change lever either to the rear side or the bottom side position. (See Figure 2-17.) 2) Set a sheet of paper either to the push tractor or the bottom tractor. 3) Press the “FF/LOAD” switch. 4) The LF motor starts its operation to feed the paper up to the print start position. 5) The paper is fed in up to the TOF position (Factory default: 0.35 inches from the top). Push down the “FF/LOAD” switch.
2.2.8 Paper Park Function (Continuous paper) Continuous sheets which have been inserted can be reversed automatically by using the “PARK” button on the operation panel. 1) Press the “PARK” button on the operation panel. 2) Reverse LF is started and paper is fed in reverse until paper end occurs or 19 inches maximum have been fed. 3) The paper is fed in reverse, to leave the paper on the push-tractor or bottom-tractor.

APPENDIX C RS-232C Serial Interface Board (Option)
APPENDIX C RS-232C SERIAL INTERFACE BOARD 1. GENERAL This section describes the operation of the RS-232C Serial Interface board installed in the Printer as an option using a start-stop synchronization and serial communications circuit. This serial interface board is capable of transmitting and receiving simultaneously at speeds up to 19,200 bits per second. Two protocols are available: printer Ready/Busy and X-ON/X-OFF modes.
2. OPERATION DESCRIPTION 2.1 Element Description (1) 80C51 with MASK ROM An eight-bit microprocessor controller that controls the following: (a.) Serial interface protocol and data transfer through a serial port. (b.) Message buffer. (c.) Transmission of parallel data to the printer. (2) SN75189 An RS-232C standard line receiver (3) SN75188 An RS-232C standard line driver. (4) 2764 An 8 kbyte ROM that contains the serial interface control program.

2.2.1 Operation at power on After power is turned on, an RST OUT signal is sent from the printer control board to reset the printer. When the reset is canceled, the 80C51 CPU performs initialization. Initialization consists of setting the 80C51 timer, and setting the serial mode. 2.2.2. RS-232C interface The DTR, SSD, TD and RTS signals output by the 80C51 are converted to RS-232C signals by line driver SN75188 (Q1) and sent to the interface.

No error Store the received character in buffer. Is the printer in DESELECT state or is the paper low? Store 40 H in buffer. Yes No Is remaining buffer space < 256? No No Has 200 ms or 1s elapsed after SSD was turned on? Yes Turn off the SSD signal. Yes Printer busy? No Output one character from the buffer to printer.
2.3.2 Mode b X-ON, X-OFF No Received one character? Yes Is DSR valid? Yes No DSR High? No Yes Buffer overflow? Yes No Parity error Error? No error Store the received character in buffer. Store 40 H in buffer.
3. TROUBLESHOOTING FLOWCHART 3.1 Before Repairing a Fault Before servicing the printer, ask the customer in what situation the trouble occurred and record the response. Before starting troubleshooting, operate the printer in the same situation as that at the time of trouble occurrence to see if the same trouble occurs again. If not, perform the printers self test and thoroughly test the printers functionality. If the trouble is reproducible proceed to the troubleshooting section. 3.
