4.5 Reset Circuit

The reset state is effectuated by setting the RES terminal to "Low." To surely reset, it is necessary to set it
to "Low" at least for 20ms at power-on and for 625ns while operating.

If an external reset is notused, the parts enclosed by dotted lines are not required.

4.6 Oscillation Circuit

The oscillation circuit incorporates a clock oscillator which generates a system clock and an internal clock.
There are two methods to supply a clock; one is to connect a ceramic oscillator, and the other is to input an
external clock.

When using the ceramic oscillator, we recommend the CSTCS16.00MXOC3 (With capacitor) made by
MURATA. When inputting the external clock, you may either open the XTAL terminal or input an
antiphase clock to the XTAL terminal.

4.7 Head-up Detection Circuit

Print head up/down is detected by a head-up sensor built in the printer so that the printer will not be energized
on with the head up. The circuit is "opened" when the print head is up, and "closed" when down.
When the print head is up, HEADUP (Pin 88) of the CPU is turned to "High," and if the printer is printing, it
will immediately stop printing and output an error. It resumes printing when the print head is down.

16 CITIZEN

CBM-202PC-04 User’s Manual

4.8 Head Control Circuit

VP is controlled in order to prevent electrolytic corrosion of the printing head. HVC(Pin-4) of the Gate
Array is turned to "HIGH" when turning on VP , and turned to "LOW" when turning it off.

A temperature detection circuit is provided in order to prevent deterioration of the printing quality or breakage
of the printing head due to a temperature. This function detects a temperature by means of a thermistor
included in the printer and determines according to that temperature how much energy should be applied to
the printing head. If a temperature of the printing head exceeds 60•, it will stop printing to prevent breakage
of the printinghead.

As a protection when the CPU crashes, connect in such a manner that the Gate Array will be reset by an
output from the watchdog timer of the CPU. The CPU itself has been set so that it will be reset. So that
the head strobe will not be turned to ON at that time, be sure to insert one pull-up resistor into STRB1 through
STRB3, respectively.

17 CITIZEN

4.9 PaperEnd Detection Circuit

A paper sensor built in the printer detects whether there is the printing paper, so that the printer will not be
turned on when it has no paper.

When the printer has no paper,PAPER (Pin7) of the CPU is turned to "HIGH." If printing is
under way, it will stop after printing that line, and output an error. When the paper is set,
printingis automatically resumed.

This CPU has a function to control the auto cutter, using the Pin 33 of the Gate Array.

When the auto cutter is not used, set the Pin 33 of the Gate Array to "HIGH." If se t to "LOW,"
the printer will not function properly, resulting in an alarm.

4.12 ParallelInterface Circuit

The Gate Array ports are mainly used to provide an 8-bit parallel interface.
When the parallel interface is not used, pull up STB(Pin 52) of the Gate Array with a 10kΩ resistor.
STB(Pin 87) of the CPU should be connected to INTR(Pin 56) of the Gate Array or pulled up with a 10kΩ
resistor.

4.14 Switch Circuit

The printer has a switch input function for paper feed. Also provided is a function to perform self -printing,
using this switch. (Turn on the power while holding down this switch, or apply a reset with this switch held
down whenthe power has beenalready turned on. The printer automa ticallystarts self-printing and returns
to the normal waiting state after printing is completed.)

4.15 ErrorOutput Circuit

The printer has two kinds of error outputs. (Up to a current of 10mA is available in order to mainly indicate
with the LEDs. If this limit is exceeded, the CPU may be destroyed. Select the current control resistors,
LEDs, etc. carefully.)
LEDPE(Pin 4) of the CPU is a paper error exclusive output. "LOW" is output when the printing paper runs
out, and "HIGH" is output when new printing paper is set. LEDER(Pin 3) of the CPU outputs other errors
in the follow ing patterns.

5. PRINTER MECHANISM CONTROL SYSTEM

5.1 Head Drive

5.1.1 ThermalHead Control System

The LT-286 is driven by this LSI has a 1-line printing head divided into 6 blocks of 64 dots each. With this
LSI, you can choose either a Fixed Division Number System which drives the printing head by always
dividing it into 6 blocks of 64 dots each ora Variable Division Number System which simultaneously drives it
by consolidatingseveral blocks according to the number of activate head dots. This selection is made with a
function selection terminal or command. For selecting withthe function selecting terminal, see "4.16 Function
SelectionCircuit. " For selectingwith the command, see "10.2 Co mmand Details."

(1) Fixed Division Number System

The blocks of the printing head to be simultaneously driven have been determined in advance. Printing is
performed, dividing into 6 blocks of 64 dots each from the left corner of the printing surface of the printing
paper. Since the printing head is always driven in the same order, this method can assure high-quality
printing. In the Fixed Division Number System, the blocks of the printing head driven in the 1st and 2nd
steps of the motor have been determined as shown in Fig. 5.1.

(2) Variable Division Number System

This method counts the number of printing dots for each block of each printing head in the printing dot line
and drives the blocks collectively in such a manner not to exceed the maximum number of driving dots(64
dots). Fig. 5.2 shows an example when the number of printing dots in every block of 1 to 6 is 64 dots or
less.

2nd Step of Motor

Different from the Fixed Division Number System, this method drives all the printing heads in the 1st
step of the motor and simply feeds the paper in the 2nd step of the motor.

5.2 Motor Drive

There are the following features:

1) Prevents heat generation of the motor and restrains current consumption through PWM control.

Rate

2) Controls acceleration at start time.

3) Capable of providing fine control according to a voltage(VH) applied to the motor to realize optimum
paper feed.

Table 5.1 lists the maximum drive speeds at major voltages.

Table 5.1

VH Voltage Max. Drive Speed At Auto Loading

5 V 300 pps 75 pps
6 V 490 pps 122 pps

7.2 V 800 pps 200 pps

Notes)

• The maximum drive speed may slightly differ depending on the actual processing time or voltage

detection accuracy.

• If the head drive time becomes longer tha n the 1-step time of the motor during printing, the motor

will be driven after the head. During printing, therefore, the drive speed will be slowed down due to
the head divided driving method.

• The drive speed at auto loading time is 1/4 of the m aximum drive speed at each VH voltage.

34 CITIZEN

5.3 Auto Loading

Autoloadingis a functionto facilitate replacement of the printing paper.
It is enabled by setting the function selection terminal(Gate Array Pin 38) to "LOW."

Functioning:

1) Make the PE sensor detect PE once.

2) Insert the printing paper into the printing paper insertion slot until the PE sensor detects the paper

again. When this is done, the paper should be inserted at a right angle to the insertion slot; insert it
until it comes to the end.

3) When this is done, if the head-up lever is shifted down, auto loading will be performed. If the

head-uplever is shiftedup, shift it down. Then, autoloading will be performed.

4) See Table 5.1 for the drivespeed.

This LSI displays the setting of the function selection terminal and has a test print function to print Kanji when
printing the half-size characters or using the specified Kanji ROM(CBM-202KG-01).
Theprocedureisasfollows:

1) Turn on the power, setting LFSW(Pin 2) of the CPU to "LOW." Turn on both Vcc and VH almost
simultaneously, or turn on Vcc, followed by VH(Within 500ms after Vcc).

9. PRECAUTIONS FOR MOUNTING

9.1 Precautions

If a relative humidity drops, the LSI will be electrified with static electricity more easily. The surface
mounting package must be stored in a dry atmosphere to prevent humidity absorption, but while it is being
stored, it will not be electrified because it will not have friction, etc. When handling or mounting it onto the
PCB where friction or electric discharge may be expected, the relative humidity is desired to be 45~75%
from a viewpoint of prevention of electrification.

9.2 Reflow Mounting

Using the screen printing method, etc., apply a constant amount of solder paste to the pattern on the PCB,
whichwas formed intothe specifiedshaperequired for solderingthelead pinstoa package mounting section,
and mount the package onto it. It will be temporarily fixed by the surface tension of the solder paste.
Then, if the solder is melted(reflow) again, the leads of the package and the pattern of the PCB will be
matched by a self-alignment effect through the surface tension of the molten solder.
Although the lead joint pattern design values of the PCB depend on the solder paste material used, reflow
condition, etc., they should be preferably 1.1~1.3 times larger than a soldered lead pin width.

CBM-202PC-04 User’s Manual

9.3 Recommended Conditions for Different Mounting Methods

The most common mounting methods employed for the surface mounting devices are the infrared reflow
method, vapor phase reflow method, and flow solder method. As all of those mounting methods must heat
the entire package and apply a strong thermal stress, they require you tomanage not only a temperature at the
solder joints,but that on the package surface, froma viewpoint of maintenance of reliability. Therefore, the
recommended mounting conditions are given in terms of the package surface temperature for the reflow
method, and in terms of solder temperature and immersion time for the flow solder method.
The following describes the concepts of the recommended conditions, using Fig. 9.1.

Fig. 9.1

39 CITIZEN

CBM-202PC-04 User’s Manual

1) Temperature gradient 1
If a temperature rises abruptly, each joint of the surface mounting device to the package will have
different t emperature. As a result, t he package may warp due to a difference in the thermal expansion
factor of the material, thus damaging the chip. Therefore, it is necessary to heed the upper limit of an
ascendingrate. The lower limit depends on the activity rate of the reflow unit.

2) Preheating
The temperature of the parts and PCB is adjusted under the melting temperature of the solder to stabilize
soldering and ease a thermal shock. Generally, set to near the rated temperature of the surface
mounting device.

3) Temperature gradient 2
The upper limit of the ascending temperature is the same as in 1). The lower limit is determined by
necessityto contain the peak temperature and time m e ntionedin 4) within the specifiedranges.

4) Peak tempe rature and time
In order to minimize damages on the package, the peak temperature and time must be most heeded.
Since the peak time has a direct effect on a drop of package strength and a steam pressure in the package,
it is desired to be kept as low as possible. The peak time is required to be minimized because the steam
pressure increases along with a lapse of time. The conditions mentioned here are provided at a
coincident point of the above-mentioned allowable range and a solderable range. As they are
represented by upper-limit values, not average values, care should be taken not to exceed the upper-limit
values when setting the conditions. Fig. 6.2 and Fig. 6.3 shows the recommended conditions for the
different m ounting methods.

CBM-202PC-04 User’s Manual

6.4 Cleaning Method

After soldering, eliminate/clean remaining flux off the PCB because it affects reliability of the parts and PCB
wiring, as a rule.
As an example, ultrasonic cleaning is employed under the following conditions. In order to prevent
destruction of the device, pay attention to an applied frequency, electric power(particularly peak power), time
and resonance of the device.

• Frequency ----- 28~29kHz (The device should not resonate)

• Ultrasonic output ----- 15W/each time

• Time ----- 30sec or less

• Others ----- The deviceandPCB should not directly touch a vibration source.

6.5 Storage Method

The epoxy resin used for the plastic package cannot resist absorbing moisture when it is stored in a
high-humidity place. If more moisture is absorbed, it will be abruptly vaporized at the time of soldering
and cause exfoliation of the resin/lead frame interface, resulting in the cracks of the package in the worst case.
As it is important to store in a dry atmosphere(preferably normal temperature and humidity; 5~35°C and
45~75 % RH as guides), the package is packed damp-proof. After unpacking it, store it under a prescribed
environment in order to minimize moisture absorption, and perform reflow mounting as quickly as possible.
When you re-store it in damp-proof packing, put moisture-free silica gel in it and seal again. When you
want to eliminate moisture absorbed during transportation, storage, or handling, it is recommended to dry(At
125°C) for 16~24 hours.
The external terminals should be stored unprocessed. This is to avoid a soldering failure due to occurrence
of rust at the time of mounting.
