Power Supply

2.5.1 Specifications

1) Operating voltage

Driver power supply Vp:＋24.0 VDC ±5% Logic unit power supply Vdd:＋5.0 VDC ±5%

:＋3.3 VDC ±5% (*+5.0 VDC internal conversion in board)

2) Current consumption

Driver current Ip: Average current: Approx. 0.46 A (At ANK slide) Peak current: Approx. 4.9 A (At full dot printing) Logic unit current Idd: Average current: Approx. 230 mA (At ANK slide)

Approx. 200 mA (At standby)

2.5.2 Precautions

1. When powering on, enter Vp within 100 ms after Vdd.

2. When powering off, turn Vdd after Vp.

3. Before connecting or disconnecting the connector, be sure to turn the printer power off.

4. Be sure to use Vdd and Vp within the specified range.

5. Be sure to use the printer by connecting both Vp and P-GND.

6. For the power supply at Vp side, use the power supply with peak current removed.

Cautions

・Using the power supply other than specified, bad effect may occur in printing operation, etc.

・Using the current without removing peak current may result in degradation of printing quality

depending on the printing status or occurrence of low-voltage error.

・Use the power supply that can be turned off easily to prepare for emergencies.

・Power supply with overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, and various protection

circuits is recommended.

・This control board requires two different supply voltages. Use sufficient care not to make

erroneous wiring or operation. Error in operation may not only break the control board but also have bad effect on human body or peripheral equipment.

・Though this control board has CN2 that has the same pin allocation as BD2-2880, it is different

in supply voltage. Use sufficient care in handling this control board.

Notes:

1) As resistance 330Ω is inserted in the circuit so that current value of ERROR LED and PEOUT

LED is 10 mA, use the LED with forward voltage of 2 V or so. Using LED exceeding 10 mA may break the control board.

2) Power supply for circuit (Vdd and GND) will operate if it is applied to only one pin. However,

driving power supply (Vp and P-GND) shall be fed to all pins to retain current capacity.

3) Note that though a ceramic capacitor is provided in the circuit to prevent chattering, great

chattering may occur depending on the switch. In this case, the user is requested to take an appropriate measure.

4) Do not conduct such operation that only paper feeding continues for more than 5 minutes.

Excessive single operation of paper feed motor may cause failure. * In case of printing operation (12.5% coloring), continuous operation over 5 minutes causes no trouble.

5) The RESET terminal is pulled up with 3.3 kΩ at the circuit side. If it is not in use, it must be

set as Non Connect.

6) Serial interface is equipped with RS-232C driver and receiver. Be sure to use in RS-232C

level.

7) Unused pin shall be insulated so that cable end may not contact other terminal or part.
