MT002-1 has a thickfi lm thermal printhead and is allowed to have 4.0 A maximum power absorbed, the print
density variation may become larger if the number of dots energized at same time becomes greater than 64.
Scanning Line Time (SLT) is the time to print one complete line using all strobes available. The relation between
the printhead supply voltage and “On Time” (Ton) is as follows:

4.1 Operation precautions
When continuous printing is performed the supply energy should be reduced so that the substrate tem-1.
perature show in Maximum Condition Table.
Power On and Off sequence must be in the following order to prevent the dot element damage:2.
Turn On= Apply the logic supply voltage (Vdd) first and then the printhead supply voltage (VH).
Turn Off= Switch off the printhead supply voltage (VH) fi rst and then turn the logic voltage (Vdd) off.
The printhead shall be disabled in STB during Power ON/OFF, or Power (VH)-Logic(Vdd) sequence de-3.
scribed in note 2 shall be kept.
Heat elements and IC’s shall be anti-electrostatic in order to prevent the electrostatic destruction. Do not 4.
touch the connector pins with naked hands.
The printhead substrate surface is coated with glass and mechanical stress or shock (including dust scratch 5.
damage) should be avoided to prevent damage.
When the printhead operation is fi nished, printsupply voltage (including the charged voltage with capacitor) 6.
should be reduced to the ground level and remained until next printhead operation occur.
Condensation should be avoided. If condensation occurred, do not switch on the printhead power until 7.
condensation disappear.
Print quality would be degraded if paper or ink residue were sticked on the heat element area. For such a 8.
case, please use applicator with alcohol to clean up. Do not use the sandpaper destroying the heat elements.
If printing sound, for example sticking sound, occured, please review and adjust the paper feed mechanism 9.
and the electrical pulse to avoid these kind of mechanical resonance.
Please pay attention that the paper used does not include bad factor to affect printhead life.10.
The print density variation may become larger if the number of dots energized at same time becomes 11.
greater than 100.
In order to avoid surge, a 47 F capacitor is required between VH and GND at controller board side. 0.1 12.
F ceramic capacitor should be placed between VDD and GND.

4.7 Thermistor
The thermistor is very important to adjust the strobe time (Tstrobe) ~ (SLT) in function of the head temperature and
to monitor the temperature to prevent the head damage if the temperature is over the limit described in the
Maximum conditions table.
Resistance R25: 30 KW ± 5% at 25°C•
B value: 3950 K ± 2%•
Operating temperature: –20 ~ + 80°C•
Time costant: Max. 30 sec.(in the air)•
Then the resistance value, R, versus temperature , T (in °C) is given by the formula:
R(T) = R25 × e { B × (1/TX – 1/T25) }
