7.2 Explanation of Input / Output signals

(1) RXD

Serial receiving data signal. On occurrence of framing error, overrun error, or parity error, the data is printed as "?".

(2) DTR

When this signal is READY, write data or a command. When they are written in BUSY, overrun error is occurred and data is ignored. Even during printing, data can be loaded in the input buffer. Further, BUSY can take place on supply of power, during test printing, during on-line, or on resetting.

(3) TXD

When, while in data reception, the rest of input buffer on the printer side goes less than 256 bytes , DC3 (13H) data reception impossible signals are output, when the rest of input buffer goes more than 256 bytes, DC1 (11H) data reception possible signals are output to the host.

When DTR/DSR control having been selected in status information transmission, it is first confirmed that DSR is "space" and data is sent.

When DTR/DSR control has not been selected, DSR is ignored and data is transmitted.

(4) GND

Common GND on the circuit.

(3)Stop bit ( 1 or more )

(1)Start Bit

In 1/2 bit from the mark-to-space starting edge, state is read once again. When "space" state is confirmed, it is recognized as the start bit. If it is "mark" state, it is not taken as the start bit.

Without taking it as an error, detection of a start bit is carried out once again.

(2) Data Bit + Parity Bit

Data bit and parity bit are sampled at 1/2 start bit for time length equal to 1 bit. The state thus sampled is taken as the data for the bit concerned. Bits are named as Bit 0, Bit 1.…. Parity bit counted from the one close to the start bit.

(3) Stop Bit

The stop bit is a mark level of 1 bit or more. With "space" having been detected on detection of a stop bit, framing error takes place.

CITIZEN

BD2-2860 User’s Manual

7.4 Error Detection

Parity, framing, and overrun are detected. On detection of any error, the data are stored in the buffer as "?".

(1) Framing Error

With "space" state having been detected on detection of a stop bit, error takes place.

The data are stored in the buffer as "?".

(2) Parity Error

With an error having been detected under specifying parity check, the data is stored in the buffer as "?".

(3) Overrun Error

On detection of an overrun error, the data are stored in the buffer as "?".

7.5 Data receiving control

When DTR/DSR control having been selected, with BUSY signal at "LOW", data from the host side are received. With the signal at "HIGH", they can not be received.

When DTR/DSR control not having been selected, after X-ON transmission, data is received from the host side. No transmission of data can take place after X-OFF is transmitted.

7.6 Buffering

Data transfer to the input buffer include DTR signals and TD signals as the control signals concerned.

8.2 Operation Errors

(1)Error types

Error	Description
No paper	The printing paper set is not set
Head –up	The head-up lever is at its up position
VH voltage error	A VH voltage is beyond its allowable range (4.2 to 8.5V)
Head temperature error	A head temperature is less than 0°C or 65°C or higher.
Cutter lock	When driving the cutter, the cutter is locked due to an external factor (Paper jam,
(ACS-220-5V)	etc.).

Note 1) The 8.5V upper-limit voltage for VH voltage error is only an assumptive voltage just after charging the battery when using the battery power. It cannot be normally used. A normal maximum voltage is 7.2V.

(2) External signal outputs Interface Connector (CN3)

Pin No.	Signal Name						Remarks
20			ERROR				LED output. For a blinking (Lighting) pattern, see 8.3 Error Indication.
21							LED output. This is always o utput at the time of no paper.

(3) Resetting methods

Error	Resetting Method
No paper	Set the paper. See Note 1.
Head –up	Bring down the head-up lever.
VH voltage error	Set to a voltage within the allowable range (4.2 to 8.5V) and turn on the power
	again. Alternatively, activate the Pin19 (LFSW) of the CN3(interface connector).
Head temperature error	At the lower limit (less than 0°C), printing becomes operational at 0°C higher.
	At the upper limit (65°C or higher), it become operational at 60°C or lower.
Cutter lock	Eliminate paper jam and activate the Pin19(LFSW) of the CN3(Interface
(ACS-220-5V)	Connector) or turn on the power again.

Note 1) When auto loading has not been selected with the function selection jumper(J4), set the paper manually. When it has been selected, the auto loading function is enabled to facilitate replacement of the paper.

Note 2) The 8.5V upper-limit voltage for VH voltage error is only an assumptive voltage just after charging the battery when using the battery power. It cannot be normally used. A normal maximum voltage is 7.2V.
