Characters are printed by energizing the respective print solenoids at the timing corresponding
to the head carriage movement position, using the carriage motor phase change signal as a
reference signal. The print head unit is moved approximately 0.339 mm by a one step rotation
(7.5°) of the carriage motor.
To print the number "2", printing solenoid numbers 2 and 9 are energized in sync with the
carriage motor phase change signal. Next, print solenoid number 8 is energized in sync with
TnH, delayed by a half dot time interval. The number "2" is printed by repeating this process.

Clamshell mechanism
The clamshell mechanism consists of a platen lever unit, paper feed frame support shaft, and
frame fixing lever. This mechanism is used in the event of a quality problem, such as a paper
jam, and when replacing the ribbon for the endorsement printer unit (option) built into the
lower part of the platen lever unit.
Main frame
Figure D-19
❏ Opening mechanism
1. Press the ➝ on the two frame fixing levers (indicated by "arrow a" in the figure D-19).
2. The frame fixing lever comes off the main frame, allowing the entire platen level unit to
be rotated on the paper feed frame support shaft.
3. Rotate the entire platen lever unit approximately 90° in the direction indicated by arrow
b. (see the figure D-20)
Main frame
Figure D-20
❏ Closing mechanism
1. When a paper jam or other problem has been fixed, or after the ribbon is changed for the
endorsement printer unit, rotate the entire platen lever unit in the opposite direction
from when the mechanism was opened.
2. Lightly press down on the upper part of the platen lever unit to lock the frame fixing
lever to the main frame.

When a slip is inserted along the right edge of the slip guide (bottom) frame in the direction
indicated by the arrow, the slip paper goes in as far as the form stopper and is positioned.
When the T.O.F. detector and B.O.F. detector judge that a slip has been inserted, the lever coil is
energized while the lever drive motor is rotated. At this time, the linkage between the paper
feed trigger suction plate and lever drive ratchet wheel is disconnected, the lever drive shaft and
lever drive cam rotate, and the sub slip feed lever moves in the direction indicated by arrow a.
This pushes up the sub slip feed roller, compressing the sub spring retainer roller. At the same
time as this, the sub spring feed lever moves the form stopper in the direction indicated by
arrow b, completing preparations for feeding the slip away from the form stopper slip path (see
the figure D-21).

After this, the paper feed motor is rotated a number of steps corresponding to the slip paper
format in the direction indicated by the arrow. The rotation force is transmitted to the slip feed

The head carriage assembly moves to the far right side immediately prior to the operation to
position the slip paper at the top.
The slip feed mechanism gear assembly is comprised of the following parts:
The driving force of the paper feed motor is transmitted to the slip feed roller and slip retainer
roller simultaneously via the gears, creating the force to feed the slip paper on the front and on
the back.
When the slip paper is fed forward, the respective gears rotate in the directions indicated by
arrow a, arrow b, arrow c, arrow d, arrow e, and arrow f. This rotates the slip feed roller and slip
retainer roller in the directions indicated by arrow g and h, feeding the slip paper in the
direction indicated by the arrow. When the slip paper is fed in the reverse direction, the
operation is performed in the opposite direction.
❏ Transmission gear
The ribbon feed mechanism has such a structure that the rotation of the carriage transmission
pulley driven via the carriage transmission belt feeds the ribbon.
Carriage transmission

Figure D-24
Meshing of these gears results in the driving force of the ribbon drive gear being transmitted to
the ribbon take-up gear via the ribbon intermediate gear, rotating the ribbon take-up shaft
mounted at the top in the direction indicated by arrow D.
The ribbon is fed when the ribbon feed roller in the ribbon cassette meshes with this ribbon take-
up shaft.
On the other hand, when the head carriage assembly is moved from the left side to the right side,
the carriage transmission pulley is rotated in the direction indicated by arrow E, and the ribbon
drive plate rotates in the direction indicated by white arrow F around the ribbon reduction gear
rotation shaft. Consequently, the ribbon drive gear and ribbon intermediate gear no longer
mesh, and the ribbon take-up gear remains in place, and the ribbon is not fed.
Furthermore, the ribbon take-up gear has an internal one-way clutch, preventing it from rotating
in the direction indicated by black arrow G and in turn prevents ribbon slack.

When the amount of paper remaining on the roll is less than a certain amount, the tip of the N.E.
detector lever no longer makes contact with the side of the roll, and it rotates in the direction
indicated by arrow ➀, falling inside the paper roll core, causing the micro switch to go Off,
detecting that the paper roll is near the end.
The mounting screw for the N.E. detector holder fits into an oblong hole. The amount of paper
remaining when the near end is detected can be changed to one of two settings. With one
setting, the N.E. detector holder knob is pulled up and fixed in place, and with the other setting,
the N.E. detector holder knob is pressed down and fixed in place.

The impact plate around the sensor is integral with the frame plate. When the frame cover is
opened, the sensor is exposed, but the impact plate acts as a lightning rod, preventing discharge
of static electricity to the sensor, which would damage it. The paper detection circuit board is
connected to the intermediate circuit board by the paper end detector lead wire.

A thin-film thermal head is used for this printer unit. The head consists of the head chip with a
heating element, the driver IC that drives and controls the heating element, a thermistor that
detects the thermal head temperature, a heat dissipation plate that prevents an abnormal rise in
heat by the head chip, a flexible plastic cable (FPC) for signal wiring, and the head support shaft
(pin).
The thermal head is connected by the FFC to the main circuit board via a connector. A cross
section of the thermal head heating element and cross section of the paper roll (heat sensitive
paper) are shown in the figure on the next page.
➀ The electrodes for the respective corresponding dots are energized at the prescribed electrical
pulse by the printing signal.

Cutter Mechanism
This unit has an autocutter mechanism that cuts paper automatically, and a manual cutter that
allows the paper to be cut manually.
Autocutter mechanism
The basic principle of the autocutter mechanism is a scissors-like movement where the paper is
cut when two blades pass each other. The autocutter mechanism on this unit is of the type
where the cutter blades are separate, eliminating the necessity of feeding the paper through a slit
in the autocutter mechanism. The fixed blade and movable blade are completely separated
when the frame cover is opened. The fixed blade is located on the frame cover, and the movable
blade mechanism is located on the frame.
Fixed blade
Figure D-40
Fixed blade
Frame cover
Figure D-41
Fixed blade
Thermal mechanism cover
Figure D-42
A micro switch to detect the position of the fixed blade is mounted to the paper cutter cover.
The drive gear is integral with a cam, which turns the micro switch on and off. The paper cutter
motor and micro switch are connected to the intermediate circuit board by the paper cutter lead
wire.
A movable blade holder, spacer, movable blade, movable blade retainer spring, and a movable
blade spring washer are located on the movable blade shaft fit onto the paper cutter frame, and
are held to the paper cutter frame by a push nut.
The movable blade has a drive pin, which is fit into an oblong hole. When the drive pin on the
frame cover enters this oblong hole and rotates, the movable blade rotates to the left around the
movable blade shaft. The micro switch is Off (open) when the movable blade is in the standby
status.
Driving gear
Figure D-43
Autocut operation
The frame cover can be closed when the movable blade is at the standby position. When the
frame cover is closed, the shaft located on the frame pushes up the blade shutter, exposing the
fixed blade. A portion of the fixed blade makes contact with a portion of the paper cutter frame,
determining the relative positions of the fixed blade and movable blade. The autocutter can
perform the autocut operation from this position.
➁ The drive pin moves the movable blade toward the fixed blade.
➂ The movable blade and fixed blade intersect, cutting the paper from the right edge.
➃ The movable blade is retracted with a certain amount of paper to be cut remaining at the left
edge.
➄ The micro switch detects when the movable blade returns to the standby position, at which
time it stops rotation, and the movable blade stops.
Normally, when the unit is used and the fixed blade is not at the standby position, the paper
cutter motor is rotated in the opposite direction to return the fixed blade to the standby position.
The cutter motor gear has a knob that allows the movable blade to be manually moved when the
fixed blade is not returned to the standby position by the driving force of the motor. The knob is
operated by rotating the thermal printer. Refer to the "Printer Holding Mechanism" later in this
section for the procedure to rotate the thermal printer.
The paper cutter cover has a window for checking that the movable blade has been returned to
the standby position. The movable blade is in the standby position when the pin can be seen in
the window.

Cover Mechanism
Thermal mechanism cover AA is mounted to the frame cover to provide adequate cover
strength.
The printer, including the auto cover, does not operate normally if the frame cover is not
properly closed. Therefore, the unit has a cover open detection mechanism to determine when
the frame cover is not properly closed.

A left thermal spring and right thermal spring are attached between the thermal holder and
thermal frame, pulling the thermal holder in the direction indicated by arrow ➀. Hook plate C
on the thermal case is linked to the thermal frame and acts against this force to stop the thermal
holder from rotating.
When the thermal printer is rotated to replace the endorsement printer ribbon or for another
purpose, the thermal buttons on both sides of the thermal case are pulled in the direction of
arrow ➁ to release the link with hook plate C, and the thermal case is rotated in the direction of
arrow ➀. The transparent photo sensor on the thermal frame detects whether the thermal
printer is in the normal position or the position to be rotated.

Reset Circuit
Stable operation of the CPU and GA requires, a certain reset period immediately after power up.
All operations return to their initial status after the reset operation. The reset IC (U1) on this
printer monitors the logic power source (VCC, Standard output: +5V), and sets the reset signal
to LOW when the VCC is 4.2V or lower. The reset signal is restored from LOW to HIGH 50 ms
after the VCC exceeds 4.2V. The CPU and GA operate normally after reset.
Reset also can be performed by sending the reset signal from the host interface.
The host interface reset signal (DSR signal and pin 25 input signal) is connected through DSW
2-7 and 2-8. When the reset signal (LOW) is applied here, the printer is reset. In the reset status,
the CPU and GA are initialized, but the power remains on, and this status differs from when the
power is turned on again. It is necessary to keep this in mind. The reset circuit is shown below.

The SHEAD 1-9 signal lines (LOW active) are on the left side. These signals are directly driven
by the GA (directly connected to GA [U30]). Signals SHEAD 1-9 are input to the head drive
(QM3, 6, Q12: All NPN Darlington transistors) via the print driver (QM2, 4, 5, 7, Q13: All PNP
transistors). The driver is an NPN Darlington transistor. The driver is internally clamped at Vce
= 60V ±10V by an internal Zener. The driver performs logical calculation at hgf>1000, providing
adequate flow for one solenoid. To utilize the regenerative current of the head solenoid
effectively, the regenerative current when the GND ➝ COMMON is turned off by D6, D7 is
channeled to the solenoid. With this printer, the head drive signal is controlled by the GA, and
at the same time, the COMMON (24V power source voltage side) is chopped, enabling efficient
head drive. The chopping circuit is shown below:

Since the driver is of the constant-current type, the motor can be directly driven by setting the
peak current. The peak current is set as described below, using the logical level of terminal I0
and I1.
H H 0
At this time, VREF uses the DA output of the CPU (U3), and is set to an arbitrary value (0 - VCC)
by firmware. RS is the resistance value (0.68 Ω) of R78 and R101. Accordingly, the current to the
motor is calculated by the logic level of I0, I1 (judged by VREF1, 2 terminal voltage).
The drive signal to drive the phases is sent at the logical level of the PHASE1, 2 terminals. The
motor driver cannot operate unless signal 24VSW1 in the circuit diagram is set to HIGH
(controlled by the GA). When this signal is at a status other than HIGH, IC consumption is 0,
and no electricity goes to the motor.
Figure D-59
The circuit configuration is the same as the carriage motor driver, but the current setting is fixed,
and is changed between two levels by the output (PF_HOLD) of the GA (U30) port. The current
calculation procedure is described below.
Current = VREF/(10 ✕ Rs)
RS: 1Ω
VREF: VCC or voltage obtained by voltage division ratio of R105 and R106.
As for the carriage motor drive circuit, the driver IC is operated by setting the 24VSW1 signal
HIGH.
Rotation of the lever motor starts changeover of the paper path and the platen open/close
operation. An NPN Darlington transistor is used for lever motor drive. Due to the structure of
the lever motor, a brake circuit is not required. The lever motor is driven using the ELV_M1
output signal from the GA.
The lever motor rotates when LEV_M1 = LOW. The motor cannot be driven when the VCC-
PWR is not being supplied. Furthermore, the Q41 NPN Darlington transistor incorporates a CE
Zener to perform kickback protection.

When the 24VSW2 GA output terminal goes HIGH, 24VA and VCC-PWR2 are supplied,
enabling the driver IC for the paper feed motor to operate. The current can be set at the logic
level described in the table below in this status. Firmware-based DA output of the CPU is used
to set the current (VREF1, 2 terminal voltage).
The VREF is set by firmware (range: 0 - VCC) to control the current. Constant current operation
is controlled at that current setting. The logic level of PH1, 2 phase data is changed to drive the

Over-Current 1.55 2 2.6 L2, D13, C35 not provided. The peak current
Protection (A) is detected, and detected voltage is
lowered. Automatic reset.
The output voltage is determined by the potential division of R82 and R85. In other words, the
circuit operates so that the crossover voltage of R82 and R85 is 1.26 V.
The input voltage of 24V for the power supply circuit is supplied to U11 through the R2 fuse
resistor (KOA RF73B2HTE0.51). R3 may burn out in the event of a malfunction in the U11 area.
R3 will also burn out in the event of excessive VCC voltage (Approx. 7.5 V or more). This fuse
resistor cannot be replaced. Therefore, the circuit cannot be repaired by replacing the R3 in the
event it has burned out due to a circuit malfunction.
The CN18 external power source is connected to the CN19 switch. Q61 is Off when the switch is
turned On. Accordingly, the current that flows when the switch is turned on is supplied to the
respective parts via the power thermistor (TH1). The power thermistor controls the input
current with an in-line resistor (room temperature: 2.2 Ω). When the printer circuit begins to
operate, GA (U30) output OUTH is HIGH, and Q61 goes On. This bypasses TH1.
The OUTH signal is connected to the RESET signal internally by the GA, causing TH1 to be
bypassed when RESET is HIGH.
The power thermistor (TH1) has high resistance at room temperature, but the resistance value
decreases with heat generated by current flow. The power thermistor immediately begins to
heat up when 24V is turned on, but cools down when it is bypassed at the time the circuit begins
to operate, regaining its high resistance. Accordingly, it controls the rush current when the
power source is turned on again.

Display Functions

Figure D-68
Types of Switches
The printer has two switches. As shown by the circuit for the display functions in the previous
section, input is enabled by two signals (SW_SLIP, SW_RPT). LOW status is input when the
panel switch is pressed. HIGH is input when the switch is not pressed.
❏ GA operation monitor
The CPU (U3) monitors GA clock oscillation. The CPU firmware reads a specific GA register at
an arbitrary time, and compares that value with the value previously read. If the results of the
comparison are different, the system is judged to be operating normally. The GA changes the
register value using clock oscillation. Therefore, if it is operating normally, the register value
continuously changes.
CPU runaway causes a WDT (watch dog timer) overflow, resulting in output of LOW status
from the CPU WDT output terminal. This is connected to the GA TIMI input terminal, and
when the GA detects the LOW status for a certain time, it goes to the reset status and is not
restored.
When the thermal head becomes abnormally hot, the GA TIMI input terminal goes LOW, and
the GA is reset and is not restored. The firmware judges this as a GA malfunction, and processes
it as an unrecoverable error.
GA TIMI input terminal also goes LOW when the impact head becomes abnormally hot, causing
the GA to go to the reset status, which will not be restored. The firmware judges this as a GA
malfunction, and processes it as an unrecoverable error.
Interface

Printer Handling
WARNING:
If an accident occurs when the power switch cover is attached, unplug the power cord
from the outlet immediately to avoid fire or shock.
You can use the enclosed power switch cover to make sure that the power switch is not
accidentally pressed. The illustration below shows the power switch cover installed.
If you need to turn the power on or off when the cover is installed, you can insert a thin tool into
one of the holes in the cover to operate the switch.
tab
Note:
Do not use paper rolls that have the paper glued or taped to the core because they might cause a paper jam.
1. To prevent data loss make sure that the printer is not receiving data.
2. Open the paper roll cover by lifting up the two tabs on the paper roll cover and then pushing
the cover back.
5. Be sure to note the correct direction that the paper should come off the roll.
Note:
Be sure to turn on the power before installing a ribbon cassette.
1. Unpack the ribbon cassette and turn the knob in the direction shown to take up any slack.

2. Open the front cover of the printer, using the tabs on each side of the cover.

EPSON recommends the use of genuine EPSON ribbon cassettes. Ribbon cassettes not
manufactured by EPSON may cause damage to your printer that is not covered by EPSON’s
warranties.

3. Tighten the adjusting screw, and check to be sure that the detecting lever moves freely.
LEDs
POWER
This light is on when the power is turned on.
ERROR
When this light is on but not blinking, it means that the printer is offline. Check to see if a cover
is open. When this light is blinking, there is an error. If you see this light blinking, turn off the
printer for a few seconds and then turn it back on. If the light is still blinking, contact your dealer
or a qualified service person.
PAPER OUT
This light comes on when the printer is out or nearly out of roll paper. The printer has a paper
end detector, and it also has a near-end detector (which can be adjusted) to warn you that the
printer is nearly out of paper. See Appendix A if you want to adjust this detector.
This light blinks during the self-test printing standby state or macro execution standby state
(when the macro execution command is used).
SLIP
This light blinks when the printer is ready to receive slip paper. It stays on during printing on
slip paper and blinks again when slip paper should be removed.
FEED
Use this button to feed roll paper or to start a roll paper self test. (See the instructions earlier in
this chapter.)
RELEASE
Use this button to release slip paper or to start a slip paper self test. (See the instructions earlier
in this chapter.)
