CHAPTER 3. MASTER RESET AND PROGRAM RESET
1. MASTER RESETTING
Master resetting clears the entire memory and resumes initial values.
Master resetting can be accomplished by using the following procedure:
Procedure A: 1) Unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet.
2) Set the mode switch to the PGM position.
3) While holding down both the JOURNAL FEED key
and [CL] key, plugin the AC cord to the wall outlet.
The master reset can also be accomplished in the following case.
In case power failure occurs when the machine has no battery
attached to it, the master reset operation is automatically performed
after the power has been restored.
(This is because if power failure occurs with no battery attached to
the machine, all the memories are lost and the machine does not
work properly after power recovery; this requires the master reset
operation.)
2. PROGRAM RESETTING (INITIALIZATION)
This resetting resumes the initial program without clearing memory.
This resetting can be operated at below sequence in PGM mode.
Procedure:1) Unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet.
2) Set the mode switch to the PGM position.
3) While holding down both JOURNAL FEED key and
RECEIPT FEED key, plugin the AC cord to the wall
outlet.
Note: In case power failure occurs when the machine has no battery
attached to it, the master reset operation is automatically performed after the power has been restored.
The two phase Bi-Polar stepping motor is driven at a constant voltage
by SANYO LB1838M.

*Do not turn on without paper.
*THER MAL HEAD power supply control : Turns ON when P10 5= “H”;
turns OFF when “L”. (The power supply for HEAD and STE PPING
MOTOR is shared). When printing is finished (when the motor is
stopped) Athe power should be turned OFF.
*Before printing or feeding paper, perform A/D conversion in 20 ms
after the printer head is turned ON and make sure the voltage is stable.
(The power supply of the printer head should be turned ON and OFF
by using the regulator IC.)

3-4. PAPER EMPTY DETECTION
When LOW is detected twice continuously in sampling of signals for
every one dot line, it is judged as paper empty.
The threshold level of High/Low level is 2.5 m 0.2V. (Vcc = 5VDC m 5%)
When paper empty is detected, printing is terminated. However, when
paper empty is detected during printing, 15-dot lines from detection of
paper empty can be printed.
3-5. PLATEN OVER
When signals are sampled in the frequency of 1ms or less and open
state is detected twice continuously, it is judged as platen over.
If the head is conducted under the platen over state, the thermal head
life may be shortened. When, therefore, platen over is detected, printing
is terminated.
Under the platen over state (switch open state), driving the paper feed
motor is inhibited.
