PD 190-LCD

GENERAL FEATURES

The PD190 (Fig. 1) is the ideal solution for applications which require data to be instantly displayed on

a screen or printed on a ticket, whether the said data be of an industrial, professional and laboratory

nature. It is suitable for POS, weighing systems, receipts (not for tax purposes) as well as for security,

controlling and diagnostics purposes.

It has an 8-needle, rapid impact printing mechanism and uses 57.5 mm wide paper rolls. It also has a

16-character x 2-line LCD.

The PD190 printer is so lightweight and compact that it can be easily fitted on any kind of machinery. It

can be personally programmed and is thus able to meet all possible requirements. It has a 150 byte

print buffer and, as an option, can be equipped with a 256-byte EEPROM or, at the customer’s request

with a 2-Kbyte EEPROM. It has RS232 serial and CENTRONICS parallel interfaces as standard. It

can, in addition, be equipped with a Real Time Clock.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The PD190 printer has an ABS casing with a top covering the paper roll and print head.

The dimensions of the printer are shown in Figure 2.

The keyboard, located on the front of the printer, consists of the PRINT and FEED keys with their

respective LEDs and the LCD.

Figure 2

•PRINT key. When this key is pressed the printer transmits in serial the control character “$0D”; this

only happens if it has been enabled by DATA4 to logic “0” or if switch 5 of the RS232 option is in the

ON position. If, in the configuration of the keyboard, key setting has been selected, the transmitting

of the character “$0D” can be enabled or disabled. If the printer has a 2-Kbyte EEPROM (option),

the contents of the memorized blocks are transmitted.

•FEED key. This enables the manual paper feed. If pressed briefly, when the RTCK option is

installed, the time and date are printed. When the FEED key LED lights up, it is to indicate that the

logic card power supply is correct, i.e. that it is over 3.7 V (minimum threshold below which the

printer is reset and the LED goes out).

REMOVING THE PRINTER FROM ITS PACKAGING

Open the package and check that:

a) none of the parts have been damaged during transportation;

b) that the ink cartridge is fitted on the printing mechanism and the paper roll is in place;

c) the two brass screws and washers necessary for installing the printer are, in fact fitted on it

Figure 3

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Make a 112 mm x 112 mm square hole in the wall where the printer is to be installed (see Figure 3).

Unscrew the two brass washers “A”, leaving the screws “B” in their holes. Insert the printer into the hole

on the wall, open the front panel and, from the back, manually screw in the two brass washers, until the

printer is firmly in place.

Insert the interface and the power supply connectors, located on the logic card.

If possible, protect the machine from direct light sources.

CONNECTIONS

Power supply

With regard to power supply, the PD190 printer has a standard AMPMODU1 4-pin male connector (J3).

The power supply connector pins are marked as follows:

1GND

2GND

3+VT :5 Vdc ±15% (printer head power supply)

4+VDC : 5 Vdc ±7% (logic card power supply)

DESCRIPTION

PD 190-LCD

Logic

In the J1 a 20-pin connector, the signals are arranged as follows:

1+VT 2+VT

3+VDC 4+VDC

5GND 6GND

7TD 8D6

9D5 10 D4

11 D3 12 D2

13 D1 14 D0

15 D7(1) 16 RESET

17 S-EN 18 READY/RTS

19 FEED 20 STB/RD

(1) The D7 signal is not taken into consideration in cases of 7-bit programming of the parallel port.

In order to configure the PD190 with the extended character set, 8-bit programming of the parallel

interface is required.

The signals indicated have the following functions:

GND : signal ground and power supply ;

+VT : printer head power supply ;

+VDC: logic card power supply ;

S-EN: serial/parallel interface selection. If short-circuited to ground (0), it enables serial

communication ; if free (1), it enables parallel communication;

D0,...,D7: data bus. In parallel configuration, these correspond to the printer input data bus (the high

level indicates the binary digit 1). In serial communication, these are utilized to determine

speed of communication and transmission protocol ; normally the data bus is at logic level

1 : in order to obtain logic level 0, it has to be short-circuited to ground (GND).

Connectingwith the power supply connector (J3) can be avoidedby using the flat 20-pin logic connector

(J1), thus connecting the power supply and the printer signals with a single cable. The maximum length

of the flat cable must not, however, exceed 30 cm for the 20-pin version. The reason for this is that

current running along inside narrow wires can lead to power failures, which could interfere with the

correct functioning of the printer.

IftheprinterhastheRS232orCENTRONICSoptions, it must be supplied by means of the J1 connector.

For the pin pattern required for supplying power through the logic flat cable, please refer to the following

paragraph.

Remember that, to configure the printer in serial mode, the S-EN signal has to be short-circuited to

ground on connector J1.

RESET Card controller reset, active at a low level. Resetting initializes the printer’s parameters

and has the following effects:

•Erasure of line buffer and print buffer;

•Selection of print format according to programming ;

•Reading of the S-EN pin of J1 for serial or parallel configuration;

•Printing of the self-test if the PRINT key is pressed ;

•Functionality check of the option cards installed, if any.

The serial baud rate can be set by the user as shown in the following table :

D0 D1 D2 BAUD

001 300

101 600

111 1200

011 2400

000 4800

100 9600

All other combinations select a speed of 1200 bauds.

D3=1: flag-type transmission protocol. When the buffer is full, the printer sends a low level on

the RTS signal, which interrupts transmission; when the buffer is able to receive further

data, the level of the RTS signal is then changed to 1.

D3=0: XON/XOFF type transmission protocol. When the buffer is full, the printer sends an XON$13

(DC3) which interrupts transmission; when the buffer is able to receive further data, the

command XON$11(DC1) is transmitted.

D4=1: when the PRINT key is pressed, nothing happens.

D4=0: when the PRINT key is pressed, the signal $0D (CR) is transmitted to the TD pin, if the

serial interface has been configured.

D5,D6 the selection of these bits results in the serial being configured with the transmission

e D7: format listed in the table below :

DESCRIPTION

PD 190-LCD

READY/RTS in parallel configuration the high level indicates that the printer is ready to receive data.

The low level indicates that it is on standby (bus Y).

In serial communication, if the CTS/RTS protocol is enabled the high logic state (1)

indicates that the printer is ready to receive data; the low logic state (0) indicates that

theprintbuffer is full and cannot receive data. If the serial protocol XON/OFF isenabled,

the signal is always high.

FEED paper feed key, active at low level. This signal is in parallel with the contacts of the

FEED key on the front panel of the printer.

STR/RD in parallel configuration a low level tells the printer that there is valid data on the data

bus (D0, ..., D7). In serial configuration this corresponds to the data reception pin.

CONFIGURATION

With the PD190 printer default parameters may be configured.

The parameters affected by configuration are:

•enabling of Real Time Clock setting;

•print directions;

•no. of bits in parallel communication;

•enabling of seconds display;

•CRLF mode;

•enabling of printing of block 1;

•character sets;

•enabling of lapsed time meter.

The settings made are saved on the 256-byte EEPROM. As an option, a 2 Kbyte EEPROM (non-

volatile memory) containing 3 blocks - one of 300 bytes and two of 700 bytes - is available, in which

information of any kind can be stored. For details on memory block management, please read the

paragraph “Control Characters” in the section “Printer Functions”.

The printer can either be configured through the PC or by using the front keys on the printer.

Configuration through PC

This can be done by using an IBM or IBM-compatible computer with a serial output, or else by using a

programme which can be supplied on request. This programme, with its pull-down menus is user-

friendly and prompts the operator at each stage of the input procedure.
