 THEORY OF OPERATION

1. Block Diagram
The block diagram of this printer is shown in Fig. 2-1.

Fig. 2-1 Block Diagram

(1) Main Logic Board
This board receives data from the host computer and stores it in the RAM in the order of arrival. The CPU on this
board reads the data from the RAM, and edits it according to the program stored in the ROM.
When the editing is completed, various drive signals from the CPU are sent to the printer mechanism to perform
printing.
<Explanation>
1 CPU M50734SP
• Controls this printer.
2 EPROM 27512×1 64K-bytes, 27256×1 32K-bytes
• Contains the program which executes control of the printer.
3 RAM 32K-bytes
• Used as stack area, work area and data buffer of the CPU.
4 Parallel interface
5 Gate array (custom IC)
• Inputs or outputs several signals.
6 Driver
• The data edited by the CPU and gate array are sent to the printer mechanism after conversion to the signal
for the print head drive, carriage motor drive and paper feed motor drive respectively.
(2) Control Panel Board
This panel circuit is for manual operation of the printer.
(3) Printer Mechanism
The printer mechanism consists of a print head, carriage motor, paper feed motor and detectors.
(4) Power Supply Unit

THEORY OF OPERATION

2. Main Logic Board

2-1. Data Input Operation

2-1-1. Parallel Interface

Communications between the host computer and this printer are facilitated via parallel connectors. This section explains
the handshake of this interface.
The data input circuit of this interface is shown in Fig. 2-2.

Fig. 2-2 Data Input Circuit with Parallel Interface

The following is an explanation of this handshake.

(1) When the BUSY signal is LOW (Ready), the host computer outputs 8-bit data 1 through 8 to the connector CN1.
Pin 1 carries the STROBE pulse signal from the host computer to the printer.
This signal is normally held HIGH by the host computer. When the host computer has data ready for the printer,
it sets this signal to LOW for at least 0.5 µS.
(2) The gate array of the main logic board reads data 1 through 8 at the time of STROBE signal fall, and then turns the
BUSY and RDF0 (in the device U1) signals to low.
(3) When the BUSY signal of the gate array is set to LOW, the BUSY signal of connector CN1 will be turned to HIGH,
notifying the host computer that data cannot be accepted.
(4) The CPU is informed via the D0 data line that the RDF0 signal is LOW. The CPU then, set the RD signal to LOW
and read the data.
(5) Upon completion of the data reading, the CPU notifies the host computer of the data receivable state by setting the
BUSY signal of connector CN1 and the ACK signal to LOW for a certain period of time.
This concludes the explanation of the parallel interface handshake. The following chart shows the timing chart of
the handshake.

 THEORY OF OPERATION

Fig. 2-3 Timing Chart of Parallel Interface

2-1-2. Serial Interface (option)

When the serial interface is used, an optional Serial Interface Board is required to be installed. The board will change the
voltage level (RS-232C <-------> TTL) and the data transfer method (Serial <-------> parallel).

Fig. 2-4 Serial Interface

– 15 –
THEORY OF OPERATION

IC4 is a dual RS-232C driver/receiver which includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply RS-232C voltage levels
from a single 5V supply.
Data from the host computer is sent from RXD via IC4 and is input to the MPU. Serial data input to the MPU is converted
into parallel data, and output to the main logic board. Conversely, parallel data received by the MPU is converted there
into serial data, and output to the TXD terminal via IC4.
The CTS terminal is hardware-connected, not software- connected. (This signal is not checked.)
This printer employs 3 different transfer methods, which can be selected using the dip switches. (Refer to Chapter 1, 5-
3 Setting Dip Switches)
(1) DTR method
The DTR signal is considered a BUSY signal at the handshake, and when the data buffer capacity is 256 bytes or
less, the DTR signal is given a marked status, meaning it cannot receive data.
When the capacity of the data buffer increases to 512 bytes or more during printing, the DTR signal is given a space
status, which indicates that it can receive data.
(2) XON/XOFF method
When a handshake is carried out with the host computer, the XON/XOFF method makes use of ASCII codes (DC1)
and (DC3). (DC1 and DC3 are called XON and XOFF, respectively.) When the printer buffer is full, DC3 (ASCII code
19) is output to the TXD terminal, and the computer receives a request to stop data transfer. The printer outputs DC3
until it (the computer) stops data transfer. During printing, when the buffer full status is cancelled and data can be
received, DC1 (ASCII code 17) is output to the TXD terminal. When DC1 is output from the printer, the computer
follows the data format, and begins data transfer. Data transfer will continue until DC3 is output again.
(3) ETX/ACK method
The data block is configured as shown below, but the initial STX code is not necessary. When an STX code is sent
from the host computer, that 1 byte is ignored. When the ETX code is received, that 1 byte is not regarded as data,
an ACK or NACK code is sent to the TXD terminal, and the host computer is informed that data reception has been
completed.

2-2. General Flow Chart

A general flow chart of editing and printing operations is shown in Fig. 2-7.

Fig. 2-7 General Flow Chart of Editing and Printing

– 18 –
 THEORY OF OPERATION

2-2-1. Editing
Data stored in the RAM is read out sequentially by the CPU and then edited according to a function code that has been
specified in advance.
This editing takes places until the CR or CR + LF code appears or the line buffer becomes full.

2-2-2. Print Head Driving Circuit

Edited print data is output to terminal Q in the gate array through the CPU data bus, as regulated by the issue timing of
a WR signal. However, as for pin 9 (HD9) of the print head, the data is output to the same terminal upon issue of the next
WR signal. When all the data is received for printing, an energized time control signal is output from port PO4 of the CPU.
This allows the print data to be output to HD-1 ~ 9 of the gate array. When the print data is HIGH, the transistor TR13
will be turned ON for 337 µS, energizing the print head solenoid to drive the print head.

Fig. 2-8 Print Head Driving Circuit

2-2-3. Print Head Temperature Detection Circuit

The print head temperature detection circuit protects against damage when the print head heats up abnormally. Fig. 2-9
shows this circuit.
The print head has a thermistor to show the temperature of the head solenoids. This thermistor is an element that converts
temperature into voltage. Its output voltage is input to an analog pin of the CPU. The CPU compares this input voltage
against its reference voltage Vref to find out the temperature of the head solenoids and carries out the following operations
depending on the temperature.
(1) T ≤ 115 ˚C
• Normal print operations
(2) 115 ˚C < T < 125 ˚C
• Interval printing; The print head stays for approximately 0.5 second whenever it finishes 1-line. When the
temperature falls bellow 115˚C, normal printing is resumed.
(3) 125 ˚C ≤ T
• The line being printed is completed, then printing stops. When the thermistor’s temperature falls below 125 ˚C,
interval printing is resumed.

THEORY OF OPERATION

Fig. 2-9 Print Head Temperature Detection Circuit

2-2-4. Carriage Motor Driving Circuit

This printer employs a stepping motor as the carriage motor. Unlike regular motors on the market, this stepping motor
will not operate just by connecting it to a power source. The motor operates only when a drive pulse is fed to it, but even
then, it turns only a certain angle. This stepping motor is characterized by 4-phase stepping. Control of the motor is
facilitated by phase 1-2 excitation. The following shows the carriage motor drive circuit and the control signal generated
by the phase 1-2 excitation method.

Fig. 2-10 Carriage Motor Driving Circuit

Fig. 2-11 Carriage Motor Driving Signals

The utilization of voltage applied to the carriage motor is described below:

Voltage applied to the carriage motor is changed by setting Mode Voltage Application
terminal CMNA and CMNB of the gate array to HIGH or LOW
Operation: VH (+25.5V) Motor Drive
and by turning transistors TR5 and TR7 ON or OFF.
Standby: VL (+5V) Holding Bias
When TR5 and TR7 is ON, +25.5V is supplied to the carriage
motor and when TR5 and TR7 is OFF, +5V is supplied to the
motor via diode D3 and D4.

– 20 –
 THEORY OF OPERATION

2-2-5. Carriage Motor Speed Control

Since the carriage motor is a stepping motor, the carriage can be stopped at a desired position by controlling acceleration
and deceleration.
The carriage can also move backward.
The rotational speed of the carriage motor is set by the number of pulses per time unit. The character pitch (horizontal
character size) in each print mode is determined by changing this rotational speed (or carriage transfer speed).
(1) At start-up of the motor:
The number of pulses input to the motor increase in steps, reaching a certain frequency.
(2) To stop the motor:
The number of pulses input to the motor decreases in steps, in order to gradually bring the motor to a halt.
(3) When printing is carried out:
Pulses of a uniform pulse width are supplied for printing.

2-2-6. Paper Feed Motor Driving Circuit

Again, a stepping motor is employed as the paper feed motor, which turns a certain angle only when a drive pulse is
received. This 4-phase stepping motor is controlled by the phase 1-2 excitation method. The following shows the paper
feed motor drive circuit and the control signal generated by the phase 1-2 excitation method.

Fig. 2-13 Paper Feed Motor Driving Signals

The utilization of voltage applied to the paper feed motor is described as follows.

Mode Voltage Application

Operation VH (+25.5V) Motor Drive
Standby: VL (+5V) Holding Bias

Voltage to the paper feed motor is changed by setting CPU port P31 to LOW or HIGH and by turning transistor TR6 and
transistor array TA1 ON or OFF.
When TA1 is turned on, +25.5V is applied to the paper feed motor.
When TA1 is turned off, +5V is supplied to the motor via diode D2.

– 22 –
 THEORY OF OPERATION

2-3. Reset Circuit

The RESET signal initializes the circuit elements and prevents operation errors when the power is turned on.
The RESET signal is output for approx. 34ms. when the power is turned on, or while the RESET ( INPUT-PRIME ) signal
is being output from the host computer.

Fig. 2-14 Reset Circuit and Protection Circuit.

• Power On Reset
1 When the power is turned on, the RESET signal is output to Pin 5 of IC2 (M51953BL) for approx. 34 msec. This
time length is determined by external capacitor C7 (0.1µF), and it can be calculated by the following formula.
T = 0.34 × C7 (pF) µsec.

2 This LOW signal triggers RESET command to the CPU and the RESET terminal ( RES ) of the gate array.

3 Resetting the CPU and the gate array will ignore all the drive signals for the carriage motor, the paper feed motor
and the print head, preventing operation errors at power ON.

• Reset by Input Prime Signal from Host Computer

1 The input prime signal from the host computer is output to pin 31 of the connector CN1.

2 This output signal will set the terminal INIT 2 of the CPU to LOW, executing interruption. Then, the CPU will be
initialized.

– 23 –
THEORY OF OPERATION

2-4. Reset by +5V Line Voltage Detection

A voltage-detecting IC (IC2 in Fig. 2-14) detects momentary drops in voltage or unstable voltage supply (due to power
failures, etc.) on the +5V line. If the voltage on the +5V line falls below 4.25V, the RESET signal appears at the output
terminal of the voltage-detecting IC.

Fig. 2-15 Equivalent Circuit of Fig. 2-16 Operational Timing Chart

Voltage-Detecting IC

2-5. Protection Circuit

This printer is provided with a protection circuit which shuts off the print head and motor driving circuits in the event of
a CPU malfunction. (Refer to Fig.2-14)

The CPU normally outputs a LOW level signal from the terminal (WD OUT).
However, if the CPU malfunctions, it can not output this signal.

When the LOW level signal is not output from the CPU, the input terminal (Cd) of the voltage-detecting IC goes to LOW
and the RESET signal is output from the output terminal (OUT) of the voltage-detecting IC. By this signal, the CPU and
the gate array are reset and the print head, the carriage motor and paper feed motor driving signals are ignored, protecting
the printer from the CPU runaway.

3. Power Supply Unit

The power supply circuit converts the incoming AC power to DC voltages, +5V and +25.5V.

Voltage Tolerance Application

VH (+25.5V) DC25.5V±5% To drive print head, carriage motor, paper
feed motor.
+5V DC5V±2.5% To supply power to CPU, ROM, RAM, TTL
and ICs.
VL (+5V) DC5V±10% To retain carriage motor and paper feed
motor.

– 24 –
 THEORY OF OPERATION

4. Mechanism

4-1. Print Head Mechanism

The print head consists of 9 needle wires and 9 print solenoids.
The following explains how each needle wire operates during printing.
(1) When the print solenoid is energized, the clapper is attracted by the iron core and the needle wire is driven toward
the platen.
(2) This needle wire hits the platen via the ink ribbon and paper. A single dot is printed on the paper.
(3) When the print solenoid is de-energized, the needle wire is returned to its original position by rebound energy and
spring and clapper holder (leaf spring) force.

Fig. 2-17 Outline of Print Head Mechanism

4-2. Print Head Carrying Mechanism

The print head carrying mechanism consists mainly of a carriage, timing belt, carriage motor, and home position detector.
(1) Carriage
The carriage is supported horizontally by means of the carriage stay and rear angle, and it moves from side to side
with the print head mounted above it. A timing belt is clamped to the base of the carriage and a shield plate is mounted
at the base for home position detection.
(2) Timing Belt
The timing belt is suspended between the timing pulley of the carriage motor and the timing pulley of the tension
lever, and it maintains a constant tension.
The timing belt is also clamped to the base of the carriage so that it can move the carriage accurately with driving
force from the carriage motor.
(3) Carriage Motor
The carriage motor is a HB (Hybrid) type, four-phase and 192-pole pulse motor, which is driven by pulse signals
from the control circuit. The rotational rate depends on the number of pulses per unit time. By varying this rotational
rate (that is, the carriage carrying rate), the size of the horizontal letters can be changed in each print mode.

– 25 –
THEORY OF OPERATION

Fig. 2-18 Print Head Carrying Mechanism

4-3. Ink Ribbon Feed Mechanism

The ink ribbon feed mechanism is linked to the print head carrying mechanism described previously so that the ink ribbon
is wound up automatically while the carriage moves left or right.
The ribbon feed mechanism is driven by torque from the carriage motor, and carriage movement allows the idler gear to
rotate.
This rotation is conveyed sequentially to the gears that work to wind the ribbon. The carriage is equipped with a clutch
lever so that the direction of cassette gear rotation remains constant regardless of the direction of the idler gear rotation.

Fig. 2-19 Ribbon Feed Mechanism

– 26 –
 THEORY OF OPERATION

4-4. Paper Feed Mechanism

The paper feed motor is a PM (Permanent Magnet) type, four-phase and 48-pole pulse motor.
Minimum paper feed is set at 1/432 inch.
There are two ways of feeding paper available with this printer: Friction method and Tractor method. You can select one
of the two methods, using the release lever.

Position of release lever [1] [2]

Linkage between tractor
Not Linked
gear and tractor clutch
Platen roller and holder roller Pressured Not
Release lever position detector Closed Open
Paper feeding method Friction Tractor

(1) Friction Method

Friction method is selected when the release lever is position [1].
With this method, paper is pressed between the platen roller and the holder roller therefore, paper is fed as the rollers
turn.
As the paper feed motor is driven, the motor gear, through the idler gear, turns the platen gear in the paper feeding
direction. However, since the tractor gear and the tractor clutch are not linked at this time, the tractor unit will not
be driven.

(2) Tractor Method

Tractor method is selected when the release lever is position [2] .
Paper feeding is facilitated by rotation of the sprocket pin of the tractor unit. When the tractor method is selected,
the tractor gear is linked to the tractor clutch, enabling the drive force generated by the paper feed motor to be
transferred to the tractor unit via the idler gear and the platen gear.

THEORY OF OPERATION

4-5. Detectors
(1) Home Position Detector
A photo-interrupter is used in the home position detector, which is set at the left side of the frame unit.
ON/OFF signals are generated according to the position of the shield plate mounted at the base of the carriage, and
the printing position is determined by these signals.

(2) Paper Out Detector Two paper out detectors are located at the paper insertion slit. When paper is present, the photo
transistor with the reflecting type photo sensor goes on. As soon as paper runs out, this transistor goes off, outputting
a paper empty signal.

Fig. 2-21 Home Position Detector Fig. 2-22 Paper Out Detector

(3) Bail Lever Position Detector

The leaf switch is open when the bail roller is in contact with the platen roller, and it is closed when the bail roller
is separated from the platen roller.

(4) Release Lever Position Detector

The leaf switch is closed when the release lever is in the Friction position, and is open in the Tractor position.

In order to maintain the optimum performance of this printer and to prevent trouble, maintenance must be carried out
according to the following items.

1-1. Cleaning
(1) Removal of dirt
Wipe off dirt with a soft cloth soaked in alcohol or benzine.
*Note: Do not use thinner, trichlene or ketone solvents because they may damage plastic parts. Also during
cleaning, be careful not to moisten or damage electronic parts, wiring, or mechanical parts.
(2) Removal of dust, pile, etc.
Vacuum cleaning (with an electric cleaner) is preferred. Remove all dust, etc., inside the printer.
*Note: After cleaning, check the oil level. If it is not adequate due to cleaning, replenish it.

1-2. Checks
Checks must be carried out at two levels: “a daily check” which the operator can easily carry out during operation, and
“periodic check” which an expert should carry out.
(1) Daily check
When the printer is used on a daily basis, check that the printer is used properly. Make sure that the printer is
operating under the best conditions.
• Is any paper stuck in the paper box or printer case?
• Is the cartridge ribbon set at the right position?
• Is there any foreign matter inside the printer? (Remove if any.)
• Is the print head getting excessively dirty?
(2) Periodic check
After 6 months or printing 1 million lines, the periodic check and lubrication must be carried out.
• Check for deformation of springs.
• Check the gap between the platen and the print head.
• Remove dust, dirt, etc., around the detectors.

 TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Troubleshooting Procedures
Troubleshooting is never easy because various problems arise depending upon the particular location of the breakdown,
but the following procedures should be adhered to in making repairs.

(1) At the first stage, conduct repairs through unit replacements.

The two display codes appearing in the flow chart are defined as follows: 1) indicates main logic board replacement
and 2) indicates printer mechanism replacement, to be carried out if the problem has not been corrected.

1) Main Logic Board Replacement

2) Printer Mechanism Replacement

Check again at this time whether the replaced unit is malfunctioning. (This is done to rule out trouble caused by improper
contact of connectors.)
Replaceable units consist of the following:
• Power supply unit
• Main logic board
• Printer mechanism
• Control panel board
In replacing these units, always refer to the unit replacement flow chart.
(2) At the second stage, use the flow chart for repair by parts replacement to replace defective elements inside a
particular unit.
(Note 1) Before starting to repair, be sure to check visually the contact of the connector and the mounting of the IC
in the IC socket.
(Note 2) Always turn off power source and remove power plug before replacing any units or parts.
(Note 3) If any check items appear on the flow chart, be sure to always check them. Otherwise, newly mounted parts
or units may become damaged.
(Note 4) If, in the process of making repairs, there is any confusion about proper procedures, start to do the job again
from the beginning.
(Note 5) Be careful to avoid injury from static electricity when handling ICs and main logic boards.
(3) The following relate to the “*” marks in the flow chart.
*1 See (6) and (7) waveform in Item 11 of Chapter 7.
*2 See (8) and (9) waveform in Item 11 of Chapter 7.
*3 See (4) and (5) waveform in Item 11 of Chapter 7.
*4 See 3. Power Supply Circuit in Chapter 2.
*5 See (10) waveform in Item 11 of Chapter 7.
*6 See (2) RESET waveform in Item 11 of Chapter 7.
