thermal head, the stepper-motor and detector) are placed in the thermal
printer connector on the PCB. 1 Mounting hole is grounded. See drawing
for more details.
28-03-2003 Page 2-7 of 53
MAN607-S
(a) To connect or remove the connector, always turn off the power in
advance. If the connector is connected or removed while the power
to the printer is on, errors may occur.
(b) The connector of each cable must be correctly locked and connected.
The connector at the head side has no lock feature. Check that the
connector at the head side is completely inserted.
(c) To install the interface, carefully check each cable so that excessive
force is not applied to each cable. Especially, carefully check the
head connection cable because it affects the head pressure force. If
the print head connector is not completely connected, overheating or
burning may occur in the print head.
(d) Be sure to add grounding cable from printer body to interface ground.
Make sure that ground is present at any mechanical settings, like
head up and paper out.
2.4 Power supply
Single power supplies for the PRN607-S controller board. Voltage range is
18-26VDC. 5A minimum @ 24V. Make sure that voltages never exceed
26VDC.
(a) The power supply unit that satisfies the specified specifications must
be used. If a power supply unit that does not satisfy the specified
specifications is used, normal operation is not assured and errors
may occur.
(b) To turn on or off the power, a protective circuit must be mounted on
the control board in advance. For safety, the following voltage
change conditions must be satisfied:
2.5 Settings
Following below description can change default settings. Baud rate is
default 115.200, however standard PC´s today cannot handle this Baud
rate. Windows OS does not support speed higher than 115.200 Baud, even

2.6 Serial Input/Output
If BUSY control is selected:
When 236 bytes of data have been stored in the input buffer, the SBUSY
signal becomes high to request that the computer temporarily stop sending
data. When the amount of data stored in the input buffer becomes 235
bytes or less, the SBUSY signal changes to low to request that the host
device continue data transfer. Up to 16 bytes of input data are guaranteed
after the SBUSY signal has become high. When an error occurs, the
SBUSY signal becomes high. Data input is prohibited until the error is
cancelled.
If Xon/Xoff control is selected:
When 188 bytes of data has been stored in the input buffer, Xoff (1316) is
output through the TxD terminal to request that the host device temporarily
stops sending data. When the amount of data stored in the input buffer
becomes 124 bytes or less, Xon (1116) is output to request that the
computer continues data transfer. Up to 64 bytes of the input data are
guaranteed after
Xoff has been output. When an error occurs, the Xoff signal is output to
prohibit the data input.
When the error is cancelled, Xon is output.
2.6.1 Serial data transfer
The PRN607-S transfers various data other than the Xon and Xoff codes
which are output when controlling Xon and Xoff.
Regardless of whether the input mode is serial or parallel, the following
data is transferred through the TxD terminal.
(a) Error codes when a hardware error occurs at initialisation
28-03-2003 Page 2-11 of 53
MAN607-S
(b) The data when executing the Vhead voltage response
(c) The data when the error status response is set and an error occurs
(d) The data when executing the execution response request
(e) The data when executing the remaining RAM capacity response
(f) The data when executing the environmental temperature response
At the selection of serial input, data (b) through (f) is transferred according
to the transfer conditions, which are set using the function switches.
However, the hardware error code (a) has the same conditions as those for
parallel input.
When transferring data, data control by SBUSY and Xon/Xoff is not
executed and the data is transferred with no conditions.
All of the transmission conditions of serial data transfer for sending
hardware error codes are fixed at the selection of parallel input as follows:
Baud rate: 115.200bps
Parity: none
Bit length: 8 bit
Stop bit: 1 bit
2.6.1.1 Serial input/output port
Serial data output (TxD)
When Xon/Xoff control is selected, the Xon/Xoff signal is output.
Data is output according to the transmission conditions, which are set
by the function switches.
All response data is output.
Serial data input (RxD)
Data input port
Data is input from the host device according to the transmission
conditions, which are set using the function switches.
Serial busy (SBUSY)
Indicates whether or not the PRN607-S is ready to receive data.
When the SBUSY signal is low, data can be input.
When Xon/Xoff control is selected, SBUSY is always low.
2.6.2 Setting functions
Error processing when receiving serial data
The PRN607-S receives and checks serial data according to the
transmission conditions.
When the PRN607-S has received one byte of data without errors, the data
is stored in the input buffer.
If there are any errors, the following data is stored in the input buffer
according to the type of error.
Error type Error code
Parity error (!: 2116)
28-03-2003 Page 2-12 of 53
Framing error (?: 3F16)
If the input data cannot be printed correctly and instead “!” or “?” is printed,
the transmission conditions between the host device and the PRN607-S
most likely does not match. If this happens, adjust the conditions so that
they match.
2.6.3 Thermal Head Control
Data Transfer to the Thermal Head
The PRN607-S transfers one dot line of data at 4 Mbps synchronized with
the CLOCK signal.
The data is transferred in order to the shift register inside the thermal head
from the left (when facing the paper feed direction).
The transferred data is then transferred by the head latch signal to the latch
register inside the thermal head. Turning on the head strobe signal initiates
printing of one dot line of data on the thermal paper.
MAN607-S
2.6.4 Thermal Head Drive Operation
Generally, when the line thermal head is operating, the line is divided into
several blocks, which are activated one after another in succession.
For the line thermal head of the FTP607MCLxxx printer mechanism, the
line is divided into 3 blocks called physical blocks, 64 dots with each. A
strobe signal (DST1 to DST3) is allocated to each physical block to activate
it. To drive the head, physical blocks are activated in groups. The group of
physical blocks is called a logical block.
For the PRN607-S either dynamic division or fixed division can be selected
as the method of division for logical blocks. This selection is made through
a function. See settings for more information.
2.6.5 Peak power limitation
The PRN607-S counts the number of dots activated in each physical block
and groups the physical blocks into logical blocks to print a single dot line
so that the number does not exceed the specified maximum number of
activated dots. The PRN607-S determines logical blocks each time it prints
a single dot line.
In dynamic division, in order to avoid unclear printing, at the first step of the
motor the thermal head is driven and at the second step the paper is fed.
Also, since the order of the printing blocks and printing speed are changed
in each dot line according to the content of the print data, print quality may
be lower than that in fixed division. If print quality is regarded as important,
printing in fixed division is recommended.
The maximum number of activated dots in the initialisation status is
specified using the function switches.
28-03-2003 Page 2-13 of 53
64 through 256 dots can, however, are set using the command for setting
the number of dynamic division dots.
When the maximum number of activated dots is 128 dots, and all of the
dots are driven, as shown in
2.6.6 Head Control Circuit
The PRN607-S has a function for measuring the resistance of the thermal
head connected to the FTP607MCLxxx.
The PRN607-S measures the resistance of the thermal head and detects
the errors at initialisation.
Based on the measurement, the PRN607-S determines how much energy
to apply. No adjustment is needed for replacing the FTP607MCLxxx to get
the best printing.
2.6.7 Head temperature measurement circuit
The thermistor is mounted on the FTP607MCLxxx to measure the
temperature of the thermal head.
The PRN607-S determines the energy to be applied to the head and also
checks for head temperature errors.
If the temperature of the thermal head is -10 °C or lower, or 80 °C or higher,
the PRN607-S stops driving and puts the printer in head temperature error
status. If the temperature of the thermal head is returned to from -5 °C to 75
°C, the printer goes to printable status.
MAN607-S
2.6.8 Vhead interrupt circuit
This circuit interrupts Vhead to prevent electrolytic corrosion of the thermal
head and to enable the detection of the resistance mentioned above.
Electrolytic corrosion may significantly shorten the life of the thermal head.
Thermal paper ordinarily contains electrolytic material to prevent sheets
from sticking to each other due to static electricity. If there is too much of
this electrolytic material, high temperatures and humidity cause the material
to ionise, resulting in electrolytic corrosion of the thermal head.
The PRN607-S turns the FET off and breaks the Vhead applied to the
thermal head during waiting status to prevent electrolysis corrosion of the
thermal head.

4.5 Firmware upgrade.
If firmware needs to be changed, alternative firmware can be downloaded.
Please contact I/F-COM for firmware upgrade or changes.
The steps to download an alternative firmware in DOS are the following.
These steps only work for a serial connection, look further down how to do
it with USB.
1. Power the system off.
2. Disconnect printer.
3. Short circuit the pins “upgrade firmware”
4. Turn on printer
5. Write the following command “mode com1:9600,n,8,1”, this
command ensure that the serial port is at a known state.
6. Write the following command “xmode 1 +”, this command sets the
baud rate to 115.200, the xmode program can be downloaded from
the I/F-COM web site
http://www.if-com.com/data/drivers/xmode.zip
7. Run the following command, “copy “filename” /b com1”. The filename
represents the path and the filename of the new firmware file. This
file can be downloaded from website, or can be emailed by I/F-COM.
I/F-COM also offers a Windows utility program in order to download
firmware through serial port. Visit www.if-com.com for more information.
For further information about downloading with the driver, can be found
in the driver installation guide.

7.3 Command list description
Each command is explained using the following conventions:
[Name] Command name
[Function] Function of command
[Code] Control code represented in hexadecimal or decimal
notation.
[X]16 Hexadecimal notation
[X]10 Decimal notation
[Explanation] Explanation of command function
7.3.1 Horizontal tab
[Name] Horizontal tab
28-03-2003 Page 7-44 of 53
MAN607-S
[Function] The HT command moves the printing position to the
tab position.
[Code] [09]16
[09]10
[Explanation]
1. If the next horizontal tab position is not set, the HT command is
ignored.
2. If the next horizontal tab position is outside the printing area, the
printing position is shifted to the proper position by adding 1 to the
printing area width.
3. If an HT command is received when the print head is located at the
position to which the printing has been newly shifted by adding 1 to
the printing area width, buffer-full printing is executed. Then, the
horizontal tab operation is executed from the head of the next line.
4. The horizontal tab position is set with ESC D.
5. If characters are received when the print head is located at the
position to which the printing has been shifted by adding 1 to the
printing area width, buffer-full printing is executed. Then, the print
head moves to the leftmost column on the next line, and the received
characters are processed. When a line feed command such as LF is
received, data is printed and a line is fed. The print head then moves
to the leftmost column on the next line.
6. In backward printing, the tab indicates a position from the rightmost
column.
7.
7.3.2 Line feed
[Name] Line feed
[Function]
The LF command prints the data already contained in the print buffer, then
sets the next-data
receive position at the leftmost column on the next line.
[Code] [0A]16
[Explanation]
1. The LF command prints the data already contained in the print
2. In the initial state, the line spacing is set to approx. 1/8 inch.
3. When there is no data in the print buffer, only a line feed operation is

7.3.3 Forms feed
[Name] Forms feed (new page)
[Function]
The FF command prints the data already contained in the print buffer, then
sets the next-data receive position at the leftmost column on the next page.
[Code] [0C]
[Explanation]
(1) The FF command feeds paper by the specified page length.
(2) In the initial state, the page length is set to approx. 143 mm. (44 lines).
(3) When cut-sheet printing is selected, the FF command executes the
following operations:
1. When the page length is set to 0 (page length cancellation) by using
