6.5 Data Receiving Control
When BUSY signal is “LOW”, data from the host can be received. When it being “HIGH”, data
cannot be received.
6.6 Buffering
This control board incorporates 2K byte buffer.
Therefore, big data can be buffered in input buffer, and the host side can be released immediately.

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. Data can be written into the input buffer even when the
printer is busy printing. A BUSY also occurs when the printer is powered on, in test print, in
Online mode, or being reset.
(3) TXD
If data remaining in the printer's input buffer is 256 bytes or less, the printer transfers a DC3
(13H: Data Receive Not Ready) signal to the host. If data in the input buffer exceeds 256 bytes,
BD2-2880/2890 User’s Manual
the printer transfers a DC1 (11H: Data Receive Ready) signal to the host.
(4) GND
Common GND on the circuit.
7.3 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 “?”.
7.4 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.

concerned.

When driving the cutter, the cutter is locked due to an external factor (Paper
jam, etc.).

Resetting Method
Set the paper. See Note 1.
Bring down the head-up lever.
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).
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.
Eliminate paper jam and activate the Pin19(LFSW) of the CN3(Interface Connector)
or turn on the power again.
Caution:
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 VP 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.

9. PRINTER MECHANISM CONTROL SYSTEM
9.1 Thermal Head Control System (Division Driving System)
The MLT-288 (Line thermal printer) is driven by this control board has a384 dots/line head
divided into 6 blocks 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 11. PRINT CONTROL FUNCTIONS.
9.1.1 Fixed Division Number System
This system always drives each block in the same sequence.

9.1.2 Variable Division Number System
This system counts the number of printing dots for each block of the printing dot line and drives
the blocks collective in such a manner not to exceed the maximum number of driving dots (64
dots).

9.2 Motor Drive
The MLT-288 uses a 4-phase bipolar stepping motor. It feeds the 1 dot line worth of paper in
two steps by 2-to-2 phase excitation.
9.2.1 Motor Drive Features
1) Drive at an optimum drive speed by the VP voltage.
2) Prevents heat generation of the motor by PWM control to restrain current consumption.
3) Provides acceleration control at the time of start.

Caution: The maximum drive speed depends on the VH voltage.
A printing speed may slightly differ depending on a processing time or voltage
detection accuracy. During the course of printing, a motor drive speed may be slower
than the maximum drive speed, depending on what is printed or the head divided drive
system.
