CHAPTER 2 PRINCIPLES OF OPERA TION This chapter describes the operating principles of the circuitry and printer mechanism. 1. Block Diagram ..................................................................................................... 11 2. Interface .
– 10 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION.
– 11 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 1. Block Diagram The following diagram illustrates the relation between the main logic board and its peripherals. Fig.
– 12 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION (1) Main Logic Board The main logic board’s CPU passes data transmitted from the host computer into the local RAM. It then reads the data from the RAM, arranges it in accordance with the ROM program, and prints the results by issuing appropriate drive signals to the printer mechanism.

– 14 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 2-1-2. Parallel interface Fig. 2-3 Parallel interface When the printer is ready (BUSY is LOW), the host computer transmits eight bits of parallel data (DATA1,...,DATA8) to CN4. The data passes through the gate array and moves into the CPU.
– 15 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 2-2. Data Arrangement and Printing 2-2-1. Arrangement The CPU reads data sequentially from RAM and arranges this data in accordance with program instructions stored in EPROM. The arranged data is then converted from parallel to serial form.
– 16 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION Fig. 2-5 Block Diagram of Drive IC 2-2-3. Head current control Although the thermal printhead has four different STROBE lines, in fact it uses only three strobe signals to control its 576 elements. Specifically, each signal drives 192 of these elements.
– 17 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION Strobe signals are output in one of five patterns, depending on the number of dot lines that are simultaneously ON. The following table shows each of the patterns.
– 18 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION Fig. 2-7 Timing Chart 2-2-4. Head current control Heat buildup in the thermal printhead can cause print quality to degrade. To maintain uniform quality, the printer varies the energizing time (time that STROBE remains LOW) in accordance with the head temperature.
– 19 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION Fig. 2-9 Timing Chart 2-3. Feed-Motor Drive Circuit The printer uses a 4-phase step motor (phase 1-2 excitation) to implement paper feed. The motor rotates through a certain angle each time it receives a pulse from the drive circuit.
– 20 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION STB1 STB2 STB3 LF COMMON T3 T3 T3 STB1 STB2 STB3 LF COMMON T2 T2 T2 STB1 STB2 STB3 LF COMMON T1 T1 T1 The feed-motor pulse width varies according to the strobe output pattern (where the output pattern is determined by the print rate, as described above).
– 21 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 2-4. Power-On Reset Circuit The power-on reset signal initializes all elements so as to protect against possible operating errors at power-on. The signal is held for approximately 160ms when power comes on. The reset circuit is shown below.
– 22 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 2-5. +5V Line Voltage Detector Circuit The voltage-detection IC (IC3 in Fig. 2-13) detects momentary drops or unstable levels in the +5V line voltage. The following shows an IC3-equivalent circuit. Fig. 2-14 Equivalent Circuit, Voltage Detection IC Figure 2-15 shows the IC’s operational timing.
– 23 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 3. Printer Mechanism 3-1. Thermal Printhead The TSP400 printers utilize thermal line printing. The thermal printhead consists of a horizontal line of 576 heat elements. These elements print one line of dots at a time as the paper passes over the head.
– 24 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 3-3. Detectors 1 Paper-Out Detector The paper-out detector (reflective photosensor) is located at the paper entry slit. The photosensor’s phototransistor remains ON while paper is present. It goes OFF when paper runs out, generating output of a paper-out signal.
– 25 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 3 Head-Up Detector This detector senses the position of the thermal printhead. The leaf switch closes when the printhead is in contact with the platen, and opens when the printhead is separated from the platen.
