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.

7

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.

6. INTERFACES

6.1 Bidirectional Parallel Interface (IEEE1284)

6.1.1 Specification

1) Compatibility Mode (Host → Printer Communication: Centronics Compliant)

(1) Outline

Compatibility Mode is a standard of Centronics interface that has been used for long.

(2) Specification

Data transfer system: 8 bit parallel Synchronization: By the nStrobe signal supplied from outside Handshake: By the nAck signal and Busy signal Signal level: All signals are TTL compatible.

2) Reverse Mode (Printer → Host Communication) Transfer of status data from this printer to the host is made in the Nibble or Byte Mode.

(1) Outline

This mode specifies the data transfer from the asynchronous printer controlled by the host.

Data transfer in the Nibble Mode is carried out through existing control line and data is transferred in steps of 4 bits (Nibble).

In the Byte Mode, data is transferred through the 8-bit data line treated for bidirectional transmission.

In any case, as concurrent execution with Compatibility Mode is not available, communication is made in half duplex mode.

When using this mode, use CN1-38 and 39 pins in addition to the parallel interface terminal of the interface cable.

CN1-38 pin: nAUTOFD

CN1-39 pin: nSELECTIN Unless these two pins are used, bidirectional communication cannot be implemented. If you don’t want to use bidirectional communication, set the terminal to be Non Connect.

* The first “n” of a signal name indicates “LOW” active signal. If any one of the above

signals is missing, bidirectional communication is impossible. Always use twisted pair line for signal lines of interface while connecting the return side to the signal ground level. All the interface conditions shall be based on C-MOS level and satisfy the following characteristics. Rising and falling time of each signal shall be 0.5 µs. Never carry out data transfer by ignoring the nAck signal or Busy signal. Otherwise, data transfer may result in loss of data. Interface cable shall be minimum necessary length.

6.1.2 Description of Input/Output Signals

1) Input/Output Signals Explanation of input/output signals

[1] Input/Output Signals (Compatibility Mode)

(1) Input signals to the printer

・DATA0 ~ 7: 8 bit parallel signal (positive logic)

・nSTROBE: Strobe signal for reading out 8-bit data (negative logic)

・nRESET: Applies reset by the nRESET signal in Compatibility Mode.

(Can be disabled by the setting:Msw3-3) Reset signal is invalid for nSelectIn/1284-Active “HIGH”.

nSELECT

nRESET

150 msec min

・nSELECTIN : Signal to set “HIGH” when transferring to the IEEE 1284 mode

(negative logic)

(2) Output signals from the printer

・nACK: 8-bit data request signal (negative logic)

・BUSY: Signal to indicate the printer is in the Busy state.

State to become BUSY

1. Period from Reset (including reset by NV memory write command, I/F signal, and test print command) or just after printer power on to printer operation ready state.

2. Under test printing

3. Input buffer full state (Refer to “(4) Buffer full state”.)

4. During Head Up (or Platen Open)

5. Under line feeding with FEED switch

6. Waiting for pressing FEED switch at the execution of macro

7. No paper state

8. Error state

BUSY regardless of memory SW setting under the above 1 to 3 conditions. Does not become BUSY in other case as specified by setting.

29

・SELECT: Always non-active (“LOW”).

・nFAULT: Signal to set “LOW” when the printer is in the error state (negative

logic).

・PE: Signal to be output with No paper or near-end state (by command

setting) (positive logic)

Note: When using a command followed by FROM writing, printer may temporarily

become BUSY (DTR) at the time of write operation. In this case, as the printer cannot make any processing, data transmitted may possibly be discarded.

2) Electrical Characteristics

[1] Input signal level (nStrobe, Data0 ~ 7)

All input signals are C-MOS level. ”HIGH ” level: 2.0V min. ”LOW ” level: 0.8V max.

[2] Output signal level

All output signals are C-MOS level. ”HIGH ” level: 4.4V min. ”LOW ” level: 0.1V max.

5) Reverse Mode (Nibble/Byte) mode allows status to be transmitted from the printer.

(Using GS a, DLE EOT n, GS r, of GS I command)

・The transmitting buffer of the printer is 99 bytes. The host must transfer to Reverse

Mode to prevent loss of status. Being in the Reverse Idle state is desired when using ASB. If this is not possible, always monitor the presence or absence of the transmitting data from the printer. The ASB not transmitted but accumulated is transmitted together (OR) with the latest status.

・Identification of information on each status is available.
