d) Printer control section
d-1) MPU&Printer controller (IC 101)
The main functions of the printer controller are as follows:
Bi-centronics interface
EEP-ROM control
DRAM control
Buffer control
Print head control
Also, the printer controller include MPU function are as follows:
16 bit CPU
21 bit address bus
16 bit data bus
Carriage motor/Paper feed motor control
The stepping motor controller outputs the carriage motor’s single- and two-phase exciter drive signal,
and paper feed motor’s two-phase drive signal.
The stepping motor controller switches the carriage motor with the 5-step peak current value for
optimum driving.
The stepping motor controller outputs the switching control signal to the carriage
motor driver.
Detection of
BJ head temperature
Detection of printer’s internal temperature.
Detection of
Home position sensor, Paper edge sensor and Pickup roller sensor.
Cartridge detection.
d-2) ROM (IC 202)
The 8 Mbit control/CG ROM contains the program and bitmap font data for printer control.
d-3) DRAM (IC 102)
16 Mbit DRAM is used as the print buffer, and working area.
d-4) EEPROM (IC 301)
Controlled by the printer controller, the 2 Kbit EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable
ROM) stores various printer emulation settings, and the waste ink amount discharged to the waste ink
absorber.
