1.5 Supply Specifications
1.To ensure print quality and print head life use only TOSHIBA TEC approved media.
2.When using a media roll of 76.2-mm (3”) inner core diameter, the 3”-Diameter Media Shaft included in the optional External Media Roll Hanger is required.
3.Precaution for use of labels
When labels are used for printing, please only use outside wound labels. Use of an inside wound label causes a paper jam.

2.3 Description of the Main PC Board
DC/DC Converter (U22, 23): |
Type: TS34063 |
|
It generates the voltages (+5V, +3.3V) from the power supply voltage |
|
(AC adapter). |
|
+5V and +3.3V are used as the operating voltage for each circuit. |
Eternet Transceiver (U8): |
Type: DM9161 |
|
This IC is used for controlling the Ethernet (10BASET/10BASETX). |
Regulator (U24, U33): |
Type: TS68N28CX5, TS9007DCX |
|
It generates the voltages (+1.8) from the DC/DC converter voltage |
|
(+3.3V). |
Stepping Motor Driver (U18, U19): Type: PBL3717
This IC is used for controlling the Stepping Motor.
Serial Interface Controller (U12): Type: SP3232ECY
This IC is used for controlling the Serial Interface (RS-232C).
Reset detect circuit (U25): |
Type: TS358 |
|
This IC is single supply dual operation amplifiers. |
|
It detects the voltage depression from +24V and +3.3V and outputs the |
|
Power Down signal to the CPU. |
