CHAPTER IITHEORY OF MECHANISM OPERATION
1. PRINTING MECHANISM
1.1 Construction of Thermal Head
The thermal head contains 960 heating elements vertically arranged. The size of
one heating element is 0.035 mm wide by 0.060 mm high, as shown in Fig. 2.1.
0.0425 mm
40.7925 mm
0.035 mm
0.060 mm
Fig. 2.1 Heating Elements of the Thermal Head
1.2 Theory of Printing
During printing operation, the thermal head crimps the ink ribbon and a draft sheet
(or an ID label) on the cylindrical rubber platen. In this state, the CPU selects the
required heating elements out of the 960 heating elements to energize them. When
the energized heating elements are heated, the ink in the ink ribbon is fused, and
the ink is transferred to an adhered draft sheet (or an ID label) to print dots. The ink
ribbon and the draft sheet (or the ID label) are fed to the next printing position
simultaneously at the same speed to start the next printing cycle. By repeating the
printing cycles in this manner, a character and graphics is printed on the surface of
a draft sheet (or an ID label).
1.3 Configuration of Character and Graphics
The driving motor continuously feeds a draft sheet (or an ID label) and the ink
ribbon by 0.0423 mm in 9 ms, during which the CPU heats the thermal head once to
print a character and graphics.
II - 1
Page 15
2. ENGRAVING STAMP MECHANISM
2.1 Theory of Engraving Stamp
The draft sheet printed with a character and graphics is fed onto the transparent
plate on the light emitting part of the xenon unit. Position the holder on the draft
sheet with the printing material (made of porous resin) facing down, and apply a
load on the holder by closing the engraving stamp cover to cause the xenon lamp to
emit light. As for the draft sheet's area printed with no character or graphics, the
light is directly irradiated on the printing surface. The light heats the carbon
contained in the printing material to thermally fuse the printing material, and the
pressure closes up the holes in the printing material. This manufactures the printing
surface with holes left only on the area with a character and graphics. After
engraving stamp, setting the grip on the holder fills the inside of the holder with the
ink from the ink pack to enable imprinting.

Page 16
2.2 Positioning the Holder
The holder is positioned at the engraving stamp position by the two interlocked
shutters that open and close back and forth and the triangular projections in the
centers of the shutters. At this time, the six micro switches send ON/OFF signals
according to the shapes of the hollows in the holder, which depend on the size of
the holder, to detect the size of the holder, as shown in Fig. 2.3.

3. FEED MECHANISM
3.1 Feeding Draft Sheet
The draft sheets, set in the magazine tray assy, are fed one by one from the side
contacting the paper feed roller, and then separated by the separating claws, as
shown in Fig. 2.4.

Page 18
3.2 Feeding Draft Sheet and ID Label
The driving motor rotates each roller via a gear train and the timing belt (MXL belt)
to feed a draft sheet and an ID label, as shown in Fig. 2.5. The feeding position of
the draft sheet is detected by the transparent sensors to control the printing start
position and the engraving stamp position.

CHAPTER III DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
Precautions on Safety
(1) Disassemble and reassemble the machine on a grounded antistatic sheet.
Touching electronic components such as an LSI with an electrified hand will
break them, as they are easily affected by static electricity.
(2) Wrap the machine in an electrically conductive aluminum sheet before carrying
it.
(3) When using heating tools such as soldering iron, take care not to thermally
break resin components such as a wire, a PCB, and a cover.
(4) Take care not to lose small components, such as a screw and a washer, which
have been removed to replace other components.
(5) Never remove main capacitor charge PCB from the capacitor case since
the PCB may be charged with high voltage.

When exchanging the capacitor case and main PCB assy, perform the
following steps after completing reassembly.
Capacitor Case Rank Setting Procedure
(1) Turn the power switch ON while holding the MODE key.
(2) Press the MODE key for 10 seconds until the LCD unit displays "<<Ver **.**>>".
[[.[[: Program version No.
(3) Press the SET key, and the LCD unit displays “N = [[[[[”.
[[[[[: Total number of printing times (light emission times of xenon lamp)
(4) Press the SET key, and the LCD unit displays “C-BOX RANK = [”
Current setting
(5) Check the rank printed on the capacitor box.
The capacitor case rank is printed at the bottom of the case.
Example) 8E29 11000 D
Rank (A to J)
Capacitance
Mf g. No.
(6) Set the capacitor case rank according to the printed rank by pressing the
MODE key.
The rank display changes in the following sequence as the MODE key is
pressed.
(7) Press the SET key.
This completes the setting of the capacitor case rank and the machine is reset.
