1.6 HEXADECIMAL DUMP FUNCTION

In hexadecimal dump mode, the printer prints out the data it receive? in hexadecimal format. The printer prints a column of 16 hexadecimal values, folIowed by a column containing the 16 corresponding ASCII characters. If there is no corresponding printable character for a value (e.g., a control code, such as a carriage return or line feed), a period (. ) is printed in the ASCII column in the position of the code. Each line of the dump contains 16 values, printed in the order they were received, and any remaining data (less than 16 values on the final line) can be printed by operating the ON-LINE switch. Table 1-21 shows the hexadecimal dump operation and Figure 1-14 shows printout of the operation. Table 1-21. Hexadecimal Dump Operation Function Hexadecimal dump mode Operation Turn the power on while pressing both the LF and FF switches. stop Turn the power off.

1.7 PRINTER INITIALIZATION

There are two initialization methods: hardware initialization and software initialization. 1.7.1 Hardware Initialization

This type of initialization occurs when printer power is turned on or when the printer receives the INIT signal from the host via the 8-bit parallel interface. When printer is initialized in this way, it performs the following actions: q Initializes printer mechanism q Clears downloaded character set q Clears the input data buffer q Clears the image buffer q Sets printer selections to their default values 1.7.2 Software Initialization This type of initialization occurs when the printer receives command (ESC @) via software. WhiSin the printer is initialized in this way, it performes the fo~owing actions: q Clears the image buffer q Sets printer selections to their default values. NOTE: The printers default values are as follows: Page Position Left and Right Margin Line Spacing Vertical Tab Position Horizontal Tab Position VFU Channel Preset paper position becomes top of form position Released 1/6 inches Cleared Every 8 characters (relative)

When an error has occurred Sounds 5 times (rings for 0.5 seconds with 0.5 seconds interval.) Carriage Trouble: Paper End: Sounds 3 times (rings for 0.1 seconds with 0.1 seconds interval.) q When a panel setting is accepted, the buzzer sounds for 0.1 seconds (Refer to Section 1.9.4 for further information concerning control panel settings.) 1.8.2 Error Conditions If any of the following errors occur, the printer automatically enters the OFF-LINE mode. q Home position is not detected at printer mechanism initialization. q Home position is detected during printing. q The OFF-LINE switch is pressed, causing the printer to enter OFF-LINE mode. q Paper-out is detected when forms-override is finished. q A paper-out signal is detected and forms-override is finished. q A paper-out signal is detected after the printer has performed a paper-loading operation with the cut sheet feeder enabled. For information concerning the status of the interface signals, refer to Section 2.3.2.

NOTE: In LQ-850, the paper tension unit and push tractor unit are excluded. Fig. 1-15. LQ-850/l 050 Component Locations 1.9.1 Printer Mechanism The printer mechanism is composed of two stepper motors used in carriage move and paper feed, a 24-pin printhead, four sensors (home position, paper end, friction/tractor, and platen gap sensors), and metal frames. The printer mechanism has two paper guides (depending on the paper type), a push type tractor unit, and an optional pull type tractor unit. These features enable the LQ-850/ 1050 printers to print on a wide range of usable paper types. The construction of the mechanism has been simplified to make maintenance very easy.

REV.-A 1.9.1.1 Paper Loading and Paper Ejection The paper release lever has a disengage capability for the optional pull tractor units drive mechanism. Therefore, these printers provide some improved paper handling functions that can be performed by using a combination of the paper release lever and LOAD/EJECT switch on the control panel. Single Sheet Loading and Ejection
T O load a sheet of paper, position the paper release lever back, place the page along the paper guide,

and press the LOAD/EJECT switch. This loads the paper at the top-of-form position. If LOAD/EJECT switch is pressed after paper has been loaded, it causes the paper to be ejected. Fanfold Paper Loading and Ejection (Back Out) To load fanfold paper, move the paper release lever forward, and insert the paper into the push tractor. Pressing the LOAD/EJECT switch loads the paper automatically to the top-of-form position. If LOAD/EJECT switch is pressed after the fanfold paper has been loaded, the printer ejects the paper backward from the push tractor. To back out several pages, press the LOAD/EJECT switch several times, since reverse feed is performed on a page-by-page basis. The SelecType LEDs light only after the paper has been loaded and the ON-LINE switch has been pressed. After ON-LINE has been pressed, the user can adjust the paper loading position for the next sheet loaded into the printer and the top-of-form position for the currently loaded sheet. Pressing the FORM-FEED switch advances the paper forward in increments of 1/180 inches continuously for as long as the switch is held down, and pressing the LINE-FEED switch moves the paper in reverse in increments of 1/180 inches. Moving the paper with these switches is called micro adjustment. After the paper has been adjusted in this way, the printer uses that position as the loading position for each subsequent page. When the printer is initialized, the loading position for a single sheet returns to the default value. 1.9.1.2 Auto-Tear-OFF Function To enable the auto-tear-off function, set DIP switch 2-7 to ON prior to turning on the printer. When this function is activated and the paper release lever is placed in its forward position, paper is fed in the following way: after the input data buffer becomes empty, while printer is in the ON-LINE mode, the printer feeds the paper so that the perforation at the forms end is moved automatically to the tear-off edge of the sheet guide cover. After the printer has positioned the paper, the SelecType LEDs flash to indicate that the FORM-FEED and LINE-FEED switches are available for micro adjustment of the tear-off position, as long as the printer is ON-LINE. If subsequent data is input to the printer, then the paper will be reversed to its original position automatically and printing will start. If the ON-LINE switch is pressed (taking the printer OFF-LINE) while the paper is advanced to the tear off position, then the printer will reverse the paper to its original position.

REV.-A 1.9.3 MONPS/MONPSE Board (Power Supply Circuit Board) The power supply circuit board is located on one of two boards, the MONPS for 120 V AC operation and the MONPSE for 220/240 V operation. The basic construction of the two boards is the same: each board contains a power switch, fuses, line filter circuit, and switching regulator circuit. Compactness of the circuitry is made possible by use of a DC-to-DC converter.

Fig. 1-19. Control Panel ON-LINE Switch This switch toggles the printer between ON-LINE and OFF-LINE modes. The printer is automatically set to ON-LINE mode and becomes ready at power on. If the printer is set to OFF-LINE mode, printing is stopped and the printer becomes BUSY. FORM-FEED Switch Pressing this switch once while the printer is in the OFF-LINE mode advances the paper vertically to the next top-of-form position. Pressing this switch is while the printer is in the ON-LINE mode advances the paper forward in increments of 1/180 inches. The top-of-form position for the beginning page is set to the current position in any one of the following cases: a) Power on b) Receipt of the INIT signal host computer c) Receipt of the reset command ESC @ d) Receipt of the page length setting command ESC C LINE-FEED Switch When the printer is in the OFF-LINE mode, the paper advances continuously one line at a time while this switch is depressed. The space between lines of text is set using the line spacing command. When the printer is in the ON-LINE mode and the LINE-FEED switch is pressed, the paper moves in reverse in increments of 1/1 80 inches.

Mechanism Operation

The Model-53 10/5360 is a serial printer mechanism equipped with a 24-pin impact dot printhead. Two new features have been added for more efficient paper handling: automatic paper loading/ejecting, and top margin fine adjustment (tear-off mode).
The printer mechanism is divided into three parts: 1 ) the printing mechanism; 2)the carriage mechanism;

3) the paper feed mechanism. These will be explained in the following sections.

REV.-A 2.1.2.1 Printing Mechanism The printing mechanism includes the printhead, inked ribbon, and platen. Figure 2-3 shows the printing mechanism and Table 2-2 lists the printhead specifications. The printhead has 24 dot wires which are arrayed in two 12 wire lines. Each dot wire is connected to its own drive coil. The basic printing operations are as follows: 1. The drive signals, transferred from the control circuit to the printhead drive circuit, are converted into printhead drive voltages which energize the head driving coils for the dot wires. The coil is therefore magnetized which generates a magnetic force in the iron core. 2. Because of this force, the iron core attracts the actuating plate which is in contact with the dot wire, and the dot wire is pushed toward the platen. 3. The dot wire strikes the inked ribbon and the paper against the platen to print a dot on the paper. 4. When the coil is de-energized, the iron core loses its magnetic force so that the actuating plate returns to its initial position under the action of the actuating plate spring. After having struck the platen, the dot wire also returns to its initial position under the action of impact energy and the wire resetting spring, and is held in contact with the actuating plate until it is driven again.

The printhead contains a thermistor to monitor its temperature so that the dot wire drive coils are protected against overheating. The printhead temperature detected by the thermistor is converted into a voltage and fed back to the control circuit, to provide a mechanism for printhead protection.

REV.-A 2.1.2.2 Carriage Mechanism Carriage mechanism Figure 2-4 shows the carriage mechanism. The printhead is mounted on the carriage, and the entire unit is supported by the two carriage guide shafts. The carriage is fixed to the timing belt on one side and is moved when the carriage motor drives the timing belt. A four-phase 200-pole hybrid type stepper motor is used for this operation. Motor phase drive signals are generated by the control circuit and converted into motor drive voltages in the motor drive circuit to rotate the carriage motor by driving phases A to D of the motor. Printing is performed by a combination of printing and carriage mechanism operations. The print start position is determined by the home position sensor when the mechanism is initialized. Details are provided in Section 2.3.7. Table 2-3 lists the specifications of the carriage mechanism.

REV.-A 2.1.2.3 Paper Feed Mechanism The paper feed mechanism feeds the paper after the printing mechanism and the carriage mechanism finish printing one line. The paper feed motor is driven to rotate the platen or tractor via the paper feed gears. The paper feed mechanism includes two sensor mechanisms: A paper end sensor to detect the presence/absence of the paper, and a friction/tractor sensor to detect the paper feeding mode (push tractor feed or friction feed). The paper feed mechanism has been enhanced with a new automatic paper ejection feature and an automatic paper back-out feature. These new features are controlled by the firmware to improve paper handling. Table 2-5 lists the specifications of the paper feed mechanism and Table 2-6 lists the relationship between paper type and various paper feed operations. Table 2-5. Paper Feed Mechanism Specification

2.2 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPERATION (MONPS/MONPSE board)

The DC voltages required to operate the mechanisms and control circuits are supplied from the supply board in this unit. There are two kinds of power supply boards, the MONPS board for 100 V or 120 V operation and the MONPSE board for 220 V or 240 V operation. Refer to Table 2-7. Since the MONPS board has almost the same structure as the MONPSE board, this section will describe the MONPS board. Table 2-7.

REV.-A
Figure 2-8 shows a block diagram of the power supply circuit. External noise on the AC line is first attenuated by the input filter circuit. Then the AC voltage is converted to DC by the full-wave rectifier, and is smoothed by the smoothing circuit. The surge-suppression circuit suppresses surge current that flows when the power is turned on.

The main switching circuit is activated so that an induced electromotive force is developed from the primary side to the secondary side of the transformer due to inductive coupling. This voltage is delivered to the +35 V line (including + 5 V) and the A 12 V line, and separately half wave rectified and smoothed. The + 5 V is generated by a switching regulator from the +35 VDC. The +35 V line includes constant voltage generation circuit and an over voltage protection circuit. The former regulates the +35 V line and the feed back to the main switching circuit, and the latter protects against malfunctions of the constant voltage generation circuit.

REV.-A 2.2.2 Input Filter Circuit

Figure 2-9 shows Input filter circuit. The filter circuit attenuates external noise and inhibits noise generated in the printer from going out over the AC line. The coils-and capacitors employed in this filter are able to handle fluctuations of the AC input line. Frame ground (F. G.) is connected between C4 and C5, which handle leakage current from the frame to the AC line.

As shown in Figure 2-10, the AC input voltage filtered by the input filter is full-wave rectified by diode
bridge DB 1, and is smoothed by C6. The voltage across C6 is normally O V before the power is turned on. Therefore, the initial input current is shorted by C6 via DB 1 and a large charging current (called a surge current) flows when the power is turned on. Figure 2,-11 shows the surge current. The largest surge current flows if the power supply is turned on at the peak of the input voltage.

Fig. 2-11. Surge Current

The voltage across C6 increases after the power is applied, and the current is accordingly stabilized. Until the voltage across C6 becomes stable, the surge current is limited by a resistor in series with capacitor C6. When 120 VAC is applied, the voltage across C6 increases to about 160 VDC. In this circ~t, the surge current is limited to around 23 A, based orrthe formula: 160 ~ R 1 = 23.5 [A]. After C6 is fully charged, resistor R1 is shorted to keep its temperature low. The circuit includes TRIAC TY 1 for this purpose, which shorts T1 to T2 by passing current IG to the gate. (When C6 is charged, power is applied to coil 14-12 of transformer T1 so that a voltage is induced in coil 9-10. When this voltage reaches 1.5 V,
IG

flows to switch on TY 1.)

2.2.4 Main Switching Circuit

This circuit uses a ringing choke converter (RCC) AC input switching power circuit. This system has the merits of using fewer parts and a smaller transformer, and is often used when a smaller power supply is required.

2.2.4.1 Circuit Operation Figure 2-12 shows the main switching circuit. When the power is applied, drive current Is flows to the base of switching transistor Q 1 via starting resistor R 14. Diodes D20, D21, D22 on the secondary side of T1 prevent current flow in the secondary side. Therefore, as shown in Figure 2-13, collector current
IL

from Q1 reaches the same level of current which flows in the coils, and starts from O A so that a small
T9-10

base current can switch Q 1 on. Once Q 1 is turned on, the primary side of transformer COil T14-12 receives an input voltage which induces voltages in windings Tll~ and respectively). eG releases current

and hFE is insufficient because of carrier saturation so Q 1 is turned off. As a result, the voltage at

and Tll~ drops and base current runs out, and Q 1 is quickly switched off. When Q 1 is switched off, the back electromotive force which has the opposite polarity from the previous momentarily flows through the windings of the transformer. Since the amount of energy P [W] is equal to that stored in the transformer before Q 1 is turned off, P is:

When switching transistor Q1 is turned off, a large opposite-polarity surge voltage is produc~to amplify the collector voltage of Q 1. The power of this surge voltage is first stored by capacitor C8 via diode D 1, and converted into DC, then dissipated in resistor R3. This is called a snubber circuit. When the switching transistor is turned off, the generated surge current flows through T14-12 and induces
a back electromotive force in T1l-s as another surge current. This current amplifies the GND level of the main switching section and is applied to coil
T13-12 Via

fry-wheel diode D6. At this time, the resistance so that the induced power in TM-E accordingly 9oes

up. Then the emitter voltage at Q3 exceeds the normal level and Q3 is turned on because the base Correspondingly, Q2 is also turned on to shoti the base of Q1 to main switching GND, and remains off until the surge voltage is dissipated through GND.

REV.-A 2.2.4.3 +35 V Line Output Voltage Limiting The back electromotive described in 2.2.4.1 causes diode D20 on the secondary side of transformer T1 to conduct, which supplies power. Consequently, the amount of energy stored by the transformer during a unit~l~riod of time becomes equal to the power output. That is: p=+ LI ( L,o t o n )2 f = Vo 10 f: switching frequency of Q 1
ton: on-time of Q 1

The output voltage is detected by R22 and R23. In an AC input switching power circuit, the AC line and switching circuit are not isolated, but the transformer isolates the DC output (secondary side). Therefore, photo-coupler PC 1 is used to feedback the fluctuating output voltage to the switching circuit while still isolating it. Refer to Figure 2-15. This circuit employs a programmable shunt regulator TL431 (Q20) as a constant voltage element to keep the output voltage (Vo) at 35 V. When Vo goes up, cathode current IK in Q20 increases so that
the photodiode receives

more current. This action produces an increase in the collector current in the

photo-transistor side which becomes a constant voltage signal for Q4, and then the current from TII-ls to the base of Q 1 is shorted to the O V line to turn off switching transistor Q 1. Consequently, the period of time that VIN is applied to winding
T14-12

on the primary side is cut down, and the voltage induced

in winding T1-s on the secondary side is reduced. The switching circuit includes C26 between the cathode terminal and gate terminal for phase correction (of the amplifier in theTL431, in this case), and prevents an inductance element from entering the feed back loop and making it oscillate,

REV.-A 2.2.4.4 Over Voltage Protection Circuit As described in 2.2.4.3, the power supply circuit of this unit not only uses the output voltage stabilizing circuit to stabilize the output voltage (Vo) and provide feedback to the switching circuit, but it also contains an over voltage protection circuit to protect against malfunctions of the constant voltage generation circuit. Figure 2-16 shows the over voltage protection circuit. If the output voltage stabilizing circuit malfunctions and the output voltage (Vo) goes over the limit: Vo >

then the photodiode in PC2 receives current. Consequently, the gate of the thyristor (SCR: TY 1 ) on the receiver side conducts to pass the base current of Q 1 to ground. Q 1 is cut off so that the potential at T14-12 reduces to O V and no voltage is induced in the secondary side winding Tt=. The power supply must be switched off to reset the protection circuit.

Fig. 2-17. +5 VDC Switching Regulator Circuit 2.2.5.1 Activation When the +35 VDC rises, the start circuit of IC20 is activated, and a reference voltage is applied to the positive terminal of comparator CMP in IC20. Since the negative side of CMP still remains at O V at this time, the CMP output goes high, Tr 1 is turned on so that current flows from the emitter to the collector, and the + 5 V line turns on. 2.2.5.2 Voltage Regulator Circuit Resistors R4 and R5 in IC20 regulate the +5 V output voltage. L20 and C25 compose a differentiation circuit and prevent noise and abnormal oscillation. The output voltage is fed back from 2 pin of IC20 and is delivered to R4 and R5 and then input to the negative side of CMP. The voltage input to the negative side regulates the output voltage by controlling the on-time of Trl. It is compared with the reference voltage, and if it is larger than +5 V, it switches on the CMP output so as to turn on Trl. This operation is called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control. Figure 2-18 shows the PWM sequence.

Fig.2-23. Vx Power Supply Circuit After power is applied, the 35 V line reaches about 27.7 V, and then Q31 and Q32 are turned on so that current IG flows from the + 5 V line to the Vx line. Therefore, + 5 V is applied to the Vx line. (The resistance between the emitter and collector of Q32 is assumed to be O ohms.) If the +35 V line drops below 27.7 V, Q31 and Q32 are turned off so that the Vx line drops to O V. The IC is therefore reset and the printer stops printing.

REV.-A 2.3.1.2 Power ON/OFF When the power is switched on and Vx rises, voltage is applied to the integration circuit (composed of R88, C26, D48). The voltage at C26 increases according to
VTHLD = Vx

( 1 e-~) and when VTHLD

reaches Vp the output is switched from low to high (Schmitt trigger), and the reset circuit in the MMU sets the ROUT signal high (TR 1 ). The reset (ROUT) signal is sent to the ICS on the MONMA board and to the outside via CN2 and CN4. D47 is a diode used to discharge C25. When the power is switched off, the voltage at C26 decreases according to when
VTHLD VTHLD =

Vx (e-~ 1) and,

reaches V N the output is switched from high to low, and the reset circuit in the MMU sets

the ROUT signal low. Figure 2-24 shows the waveform for this operation.

REV.-A 2.3.1.3 INIT Signal Input from CN1 or CN2 When the I NIT signal is input from outside (it should be low for 50 IA or more), it reduces the voltage at the CPU and MLT terminals via the integration circuit (R89, C26, and D48), the M546 10P (5A), and R89. When the voltage at the MLT and CPU terminals reaches VN, the reset circuit (in the MMU) is
activated to set the DISC signal low. When the DISC signal goes low, the ROUT signal subsequently goes low, and the voltage at the THLD terminal drops to V N (the pulse width should be: TR2 > INIT

= low), and then the DISC signal goes high after the reset circuit is initialized. When the THLD terminal voltage increases to Vp, the ROUT signal goes high again. Figure 2-25 shows the timing of the signals during this operation.

REV.-A 2.3.1.4 Font/Identity Cartridge Installation and Removal The font and identity cartridges should not be installed or removed while the power is on. If this is done, the ROUT signal must be set low to prevent a main board circuit malfunction. After reset, the CPU starts execution from address OOOOH and sends a RD signal to the external memory devices. The reset circuit in the MMU counts 32 ~ pulses and then generates a RDCLK pulse. When a cartridge is mounted or removed, the exclusive OR value of CAR1 and CAR2 changes from the reset default value, and the DISC signal is set low by the rising edge of the second pulse of the synchronized RDCLK signal. Consequently, the THLD voltage begins decreasing. When the THLD voltage drops to VN, the DISC signal goes high and then it begins increasing. When it rises to Vp, the ROUT signal goes high and the CPU restarts from address OOOOH. Figure 2-25 shows the timing of the signals during this operation. Also, Table 2-9 shows the relationship between the input at CAR1 and CAR2 of MMU (IOC) and the state of cartridge. Table 2-9.

REV.-A 2.3.2 Interface This printer has both 8-bit parallel interface and RS-232C serial interface. 2.3.2.1 8-Bit Parallel Interface Operating Principle Figure 2-27 shows the 8-bit parallel interface data transmission timing. Data is transferred between a host computer and the printer using the following sequence:

BUSY ACKNLG

DATA STROBE

Fig. 2-27. Data Transmission Timing of 8-bit Parallel Interface

a) First, the host computer confirms that the BUSY signal from the printer is low or that the ACKNLG signal from the printer is high. When the BUSY signal is low, the printer is ready to receive data. When it is high, the printer can not receive data from the host computer since the printer is processing

data. Therefore, the host computer does not transfer data until the BUSY signal changes from high to low. (Some host computers confirm the states of both the BUSY and ACKNLG signals, and others confirm the state of either the BUSY or ACKNLG signal.) b) After the host computer has confirmed that the BUSY signal is low, it transmits data (8 bits per ward) in parallel on the data bus (DO-D7), and the printer reads the data at the falling edce of the STROBE pulse.
c) After receiving data from the host computer, the printer sets the BUSY signal high to inform the

host computer that the printer is processing data and can not receive data.
d) After completing the data processing, the printer sets the ACKNLG signal to low, allowing the host

computer to transfer data again. The printer sets the BUSY signal to low aooroximately 5 KS after setting the ACKNLG signal to low, then the printer sets the ACKNLG signal to high approximately 5 ps, informing that the host computer that the printer is ready to receive data. Operation This circuit employs a general-purpose 8-bit parallel interface IC M546 10P (5A). Table 2-11 lists the pin assignments of the M546 10P.

At this time, the ON-LINE LED is blinking to indicate that printing is suspended. Then, the printing starts again at half-speed untill the printhead temperature drops to lower limit value (90 C) or less. If the printhead temperature decreasing from the lower limit value, the printing speed is returned to normal speed automatically. NOTE: Half-speed means to drop down to the next lower print speed.

REV.-A 2.3.7.3 Carriage Motor Excitation System The carriage motor is controlled by the carriage motor constant current drive circuit. The phases of the carriage motor are controlled by AO l-DO 1 of the E05A09BA (2A). Two drive systems, 2-2 phase and 1-2 phase excitation, are used. Because the carriage motor has one driving transistor per winding (unipolar drive), two drivers become active in the 2-2 phase excitation system and one and two drivers become active alternately in the 1-2 phase excitation system. One step in the 2-2 phase excitation system is equivalent to two steps in the I-2 phase excitation system. Figure 2-52 shows the carriage motor drive sequence.

a) Printing
During printing (including spaces) within the printing area, the carriage moves at constant speed except when being accelerated or decelerated by the logic seeking function.

b) High Speed Skip (Figure 2-54)

This printer operates the high speed skip when there are contiguous spaces (20H) of seven characters or more in the character printing. When the CPU judges the character codes arrangement as above, the carriage operate accerelation to high speed skip (speed: 3200 PPS). This operation is good for efficiency of print time.

REV.-A General Operation Figure 2-56 shows the carriage motor drive circuit block diagram. The carriage motor has four coils A, B, C, and D, and each coil is driven by the corresponding phase driver A to D. These phase drivers are switched directory by the output pulses from ports AO 1 to DO 1 of the MCU (2A). When the phase drivers are turned off, the surge voltage (e = L X di/dt) generated from the coils of the carriage motor is applied to the surge voltage absorber via the flywheel diode attached to each phase driver, and is absorbed. This circuit drives the carriage motor using a constant current chopper type drive system. Most of this circuit is included in the STK6722H ( 1 A). Chopper control is performed using a separately-excited system (oscillation frequency: approximately 24 KHz). The carriage motor supply voltages are applied intermittently so that the coil current is kept constant.

REV.-A Detailed Operation (Figure 2-57.)

When the + 5V supply voltage is applied to the STK6722H (H-IC: 1 A), the triangular waveform circuit

in the H-IC starts oscillation and outputs the reference signal (approx. 24 KHz) for chopper control.
Because the output of comparator IC2 (point Q) is high (input at the PIUS side > input at the minus

side) when the printer power is turned on, TR7 turns on and base current flows to TR 1. When a high signal (AO 1: low) is input to the base of TR3, TR3 turns on, and coil current ICA flows from VCCI to TR 1 to phase A to D5 to TR3 to R 13. ICA gradually increases due to the reactance of the motor coil.
Voltage VR13 across limiter resistance R13 increases. When VRIS becomes the same as the off, and TR 1 turns off. Then ICA starts decreasing. When VR13 becomes less than IC2 goes high again. The surge voltage (also called flyback voltage) generated when TR3 turns off is cut off by the zener
VREF

at

pin 8 (from the reference voltage generation circuit), the output of IC2 (point Q) goes low, TR7 turns
Vref,

the output of

diode ZD 1 (approx. 47V) between the collector and base of Tr Q5, and is absorbed by Tr Q5 to protect TR3 from being damaged. When the carriage motor stops, the motor drive pulses are fixed at a set value to hold the carriage motor. At this time, H4C is powered down to prevent it from overheating. When the power down operation is performed (when the carriage motor is held), P02 of the E05A09BA (2A) goes low, and TR1 1 turns on to drop the reference voltage at the plus side of IC2. As a result, the load on VCOMAB
is reduced and H-IC is effectively powered down. At th is time, approximately 5V is supplied to VCOMAB

by PWM control. :~ . .

2.3.10 Printhead Control Circuit

Figure 2-73 shows a block diagram of the printhead control circuit. In this circuit, the print data is stored in the head data control gate array E05A02LA (3A) by the CPU. The Cpu sends three sets of 8-bit data (for 24 dots), and then sends a printhead drive pulse to the E05A02LA via the print drive pulse width control circuit. When this pulse HPW goes low, the printhead coii drive transistors controlling the printhead coils are activated and the printer starts printing. The power supplied to the printhead coils must be tightly controlled so as not to burn the coils. Therefore, the CpU monitors the +35 VDC line and the temperature within the printhead, and feeds this information to the control circuit.

REV.-A 2.3.10.1 E05A02LA Gate Array The E05A02LA Gate Array includes circuits to interface the CPU and printhead. This general purpose gate array has special commands that lighten the load on the CPU when outputting printhead data.
Figure 2-74 is a block diagram of the E05A02LA gate array. The gate array mainly consists latches: 8 bits X 3 = 24 bits. The gate array has functins (commands) for writing data to all of the data latches efficiently.

REV.-A Because the ~ terminal of this gate array is activated by accessing address FD2 X H, the command output address and data output address are determined as shown in Table 2-28. Table 2-28. E05A02LA Gate Array Functions 1/0 Address FD20H Function Outputs a command: Bit 7: Data latch writing sequence setup O: Ascending order 1: Dscending order Bit 6: HPW valid/invalid setting Bit 5: Counter resetting Bit 4 J Bit O VD21 H Optional i

Laches data and increases the counter: When latching data, the data is NANDed with the contents of the current latch and is protected against double writes (the same data cannot be output twice in succession). Latching data into all the data latches is completed by latching three bytes, one at a time. The REDY output goes high upon receiving the ~ signal that latches the third byte, and further data transfer is automatically inhibited. When ~ is valid as a command, the latched head data is inverted, then is output while HPW is low. The REDY output goes low at the leading edge of HPW and informs the CPU that the gate array can accept more data.

NOTE: When HPW is set invalid, the HPW output will be in the open-drain ON state independent of the HPW input. The drive pulse is input to the HPW terminal. Figure 2-75 also shows the E05A02LA initialization sequence.

Fig. 2-75. E05A02LA Initialize Sequence 2.3.10.2 HPW Trigger Pulse Generation Circuit Figure 2-76 shows the HPW trigger pulse generation circuit. Figure 2-77 and Table 2-29 show the state and time of each terminal respectively. This circuit employs a 555 timer IC (7C) as a monostable oscillator. When the PC6 (pin 23) pulse from the CPU is applied to the trigger terminal (pin 2), the duty cycle of the reference trigger pulse is determined by time constant T, which is controlled by PC5 from the CPU. When output Q (pin 3) goes high and capacitor C31 is charged to 2/3 Vcc (about 3.2 V), TH (pin 6) turns on and Q goes low. At that time, C31 is discharged through DIS (pin 7). Every time a pulse is applied to Trg, the sequence described above is repeated. The HPW low time is controlled (head trigger pulse width control) by switching PC5 on and off. Figure 2-78 lists is relationship.

5.1.1 Diagnostic Tools

The diagnostic tools enable anyone to troubleshoot the electric components, regardless of their experience. 5.1.1.1 System Outline This system is connected to an MS-DOS-based computer (EPSON QX16 or PC (EQUITY), etc.) using an RS-232C cable. First, install the diagnostic cartridge in the printer and run the diagnostic program with the computer. The host-computer sends the test programs to the printer, which then executes them. The host computer receives the test program results back from the printer and determines the status of the printer. Figure 5-2 and Table 5-2 shows this system.

6.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Proper maintenance is essential to maintain optimal printer performance for the longest possible period and to minimize malfunction frequency. Preventive maintenance includes regular cleaning of the case exterior, using alcohol, and occasional vacuuming of the mechanism interior to remove dust and paper particles. Following cleaning, refer to Section 6.2 to verify that the unit is adequately lubricated. Before returning the surviced printer to the consumer, inspect the sproings, paper feed rollers, and the basic operation of the unit. WARNING Disconnect the printer from the power supply before performing maintenance. Do not use thinner, trichloroethylene, or ketone-based solvents on the plastic components of the printer.

6.2 LUBRICATION AND ADHESIVE APPLICATION

EPSON recommends that the points illustrated in Figure 6-2 be lubricated according to the schedule listed in Table 6-2, with EPSON O-2 and G-27, which have been extensively tested and found to comply withthe need of this printer (Refer to Table 6-1 for details 070-2 and G-27.). Lubrication should be performed regularly according to the A and B classification of Table 6-2. Be sure that the parts to be lubricated are clean before applying lubricant, and aboid excessive application, which may damage related parts. Adhesive application is necessary at the point indicated in Table 6-3 when the part is disassembled or replaced EPSON recommends Neji lock #2 (G) adhesive be applied to the point diagramed in Figure 6-2.

REV.-A CPU Timing (Figures A-3 through A-5) Three oscillations define one state. The OP code fetch requires four states: during T1 to T3, program memory is read; instructions are interpreted during T4. Address bus 15 - 8 are output from T1 to T4. Address bus 7 - 0 (PD7 - O) are used in the multiplex mode; the address is latched during T1 at the ALE signal. Since the memory addressed is enabled after disengaging the driver (AD7 - O), ~ is output from T1 - T3, fetched at T#, and processed internally at T4. The ALE and ~ signals are executed from T 1 - T3; the OP code fetch for these two signals is performed at T4. The WR signal is output from the middle of T1 to the beggining of T3. The address and ALE timing is the same as that for memory read; however, following address output AD7 - 0 (PD7 - PDO) are not disabled, and write data are output at AD7 - 0 at the beggining of T1 and the end of T3. NOTE: When PD7 - 0 are set to the multiplexed address data bus (AD7 - O) and PF7 - 0 to the address bus (AB7 - O), the ~ and ~ signals in the machine cycle are high when memory is not being accessed.

LOW indicates that data has been received and that the printer is ready to accept other data. A HIGH signal indicates that the printer can not receive data. The signal becomes HIGH in the following cases: 1. During data entry 2. During printing operation 3. In OFF-LINE state 4. During printer error state A HIGH signal indicates that the printer is out of paper. Pulled up to +5V through 3.3K ohms resister. With this signal at LOW level, the paper is automatically fed one line after printing. (The signal level can be fixed to LOW with DIP SW2-8.) Not used. Logic GND. Printer chassis GND. In the printer, the chassis GND and the logic GND are isolated from each other. Not connected TWISTED-PAIR RETURN signal GND level. When the level of this signal becomes LOW, the printer controller is reset to its initial state and the print buffer is cleared. This signal is normally at HIGH level, and its pulse width must be more than 50 ps at the receiving terminal. Description STROBE pulse to read data in. Pulse with must be more than 0.5 IJS at receving terminal.

NOTES: 1. Direction of the signal flow is as viewed from the printer.

2. Return denotes TWISTED PAIR RETURN and is to be connected at signal ground level.
As to the wiring for the interface, be sure to use a twisted-pair cable for each signal and never fail to complete connection on the return side. To prevent noise, cables should be shielded and connected to the chassis of the host computer and the printer, respectively. 3. All interface conditions are based on TTL level. Both the rise and fall times of each signal must be less than 0.2 ~s.

4. Data transfer to this printer can be carried out only after confirming the ?iCKIWG signal
