The following describes the basic mechanisms of the printer and how the printer operates, for the

following blocks.

• Power transmission and paper feed mechanism

• Platen roller attaching/detaching mechanism

• Sensor mechanism

• Print head mechanism

As the motor runs, its force is conveyed via the motor gear (mounted on the motor shaft) to the

platen gear, which rotates the platen roller. At its ends, the platen roller is pressed by the head

springs against the thermal elements on the thermal head.

When thermal paper is inserted between the platen roller and the thermal head, the rotation of

the platen roller feeds the paper, which is delivered to the paper outlet.

The platen roller in the paper feed mechanism is removable from the printer. The platen roller

is built as a unit consisting of the platen gear, platen bushes, and platen lever L and R. When

this unit is set on the U-shaped brackets of the chassis, the platen gear engages with the motor

gear. The platen is brought into contact with the thermal head, as it is pressed by the head

springs which each have one end anchored to the hook of the chassis.

The movable end of each head spring can be released from the hook on the chassis to remove the

platen roller.

The paper sensor detects the presence of paper just

before the thermal head. Only when this sensor

detects paper, does the thermal head is energized,

because otherwise the thermal head may be damaged

or its life seriously affected. The sensor also works

in automatic paper loading to determine whether

paper is inserted or not. (The paper sensor is built

on the thermal head.)

This sensor detects that the paper is nearing the roll end. When the remaining quantity of pa-

per becomes small (about 50 to 200 cm for the designated paper), the sensor detects it because

the roll surface comes off the sensor. The remaining quantity of paper depends on the quality

of the paper or the material of the core. It is not possible to adjust the near-end point.

The print head in this printer is a thermal head. It consists of thermal elements and a head

driver. The thermal elements are driven and controlled by the head driver.

The serial print data coming from DATA

IN (DI) is synchronized with a CLOCK

(CP) signal and transferred to the shift

gates are turned on by head ON signals

(print commands STR1 - 3), the thermal

elements corresponding to the stored print

data are energized, and the resultant heat

works to print on the thermal paper.
