7.2 Explanation of Input / Output signals

(1) RXD

Serial receiving data signal. Onoccurrence of f raming error, overrun error, or parity error, the data is printedas "?".

(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, whilein data reception, the rest of input buff eron 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,

BD2-2860 User’s Manual

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.

(1) Start Bit

In 1/2 bit from the m ark-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 carriedout onceagain.

(2) Data Bit + Parity Bit

Data bit and parity bit are sampledat 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, framingerror takes place.

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 paritycheck, 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.

9. PRINTER MECHANISM CONTROL SYSTEM

9.1 Thermal Head Control System (Division Driving system)

The LT-286(Linethermal printer) is driven by this control board has a384 dots/line head dividedinto 6 block of 64 dots each. When actually driving the head, you can select either Fixed Division Number system, which drives the head, always dividing it into 6 blocks or Variable Division Number system which collectively drives several blocks at the time according to the number of activated head dots. For selection by function selection, see 4. DIP SWITCH SETTING. For selection by a command, see 10.2 Command Details.

9.1.1 Fixed Division NumberSystem

This system always drives each block in the same sequence.

Note) for a stepping motor driving method, see 9.2 Motor Drive.

9.1.2 Variable Division Number System

This system counts the number of printingdots for each block of the printing dot line and drives the blocks collective in such a manner not to exceed themaximu mnumber of driving dots (64 dots).

1st Bloc k 64 Dots

Unlike the Fixed Division Number system, this system drives all the head in the head in the head in the 1st step of the motor and simply feeds the paper in the 2nd step of the motor.

9.2 Motor Drive

The LT-286 uses a 4-phase bipolar stepping motor. It feeds the 1 dot line worth of paper intwo steps by 2to-2 phase excitation.

9.2.1 Motor Drive Features

1) Drive at an optimum drive speed by the VH voltage.

2) Prevents heat generation of the motor by PWM control to restrain current consumption.

3) Provides acceleration control at the time of start.

9.2.2 MaximumMotor Drive Speeds at Major Voltage

VH Voltage Motor Drive Speed

5V 300pps 6V 490pps

7.2V 800pps

Note ) The maximum drive speed depends on the VH voltage.

A printing speed may slightly differ depending on a processing time o r voltage detection accuracy. During the course of printing, amotor drive speed may be slower than themaximum drive speed, dependingon what is printed or the head divided drive system.
