CAUTION:
Wear a grounded wrist band when handling the internal circuit boards to prevent
damage from static electricity.
When removing an internal circuit board, place it on an anti-static rubber sheet or
similar surface to prevent damage from static electricity.
Parts on the circuit board may become hot during operation. Therefore, wait
approximately 10 minutes after turning the power off before touching them.
Be careful not to subject the circuit boards to shock or vibration, because this may
damage them.
Do not touch the circuit board or cable terminals with your hands to prevent
contamination that may result in a malfunction.
Do not use an alcohol, benzine, thinner, trichloroethylene, or ketone-based solvent to
clean the parts. This type of solvent may damage the plastic and rubber parts.
Wipe off any dirt with a dry or slightly moist cloth. Be sure to remove the power cord
from the outlet at this time.
Note that the print head and the paper feed motors become very hot during normal
operation, creating the danger of burn injury. Be sure to wait for about 10 minutes after
turning printer power off before begining the maintenance, repair, or inspection.

Synchronization:
Externally supplied STROBE signals

Reverse Mode (Data Transmission from Printer to Host)
Status data transmission from the printer to the host occurs in nibble or byte mode. These modes
allow data transmission from the asynchronous printer under control of the host. Data
transmissions in nibble mode are made via the existing control lines in units of four bits (a
nibble). In byte mode, data transmissions proceed by making the eight-bit data lines
bidirectional. Both modes fail to proceed concurrently in compatibility mode, causing half
duplex transmission. The IEEE 1284 nibble/byte modes are under development in draft form
and may be subject to change.

❏ If a host does not provide for the signal lines listed above, two-way communication fails.
❏ For interfacing, signal lines must use twisted pair cables with the return sides connected to signal ground level.
❏ Interfacing conditions must all be based on the TTL level to meet the characteristics described below. In
addition, both the rise and fall time of each signal must be 0.5 ms or less.
❏ Data transmission must not ignore the ACK or BUSY signal. An attempt to transmit data with either the ACK or

Reception of status from the printer through the bidirectional parallel interface
In bidirectional parallel interface operation, printer status transmission is available using the
two-way communication facility of the IEEE 1284-compatible nibble/byte modes. In this case,
unlike in RS-232 serial interface operation, real-time interruptions from the printer to the host
are disabled, and so you must pay attention to the following.
❏ The maximum capacity of the printer’s internal buffer is 100 bytes (except ASB status).
Status signals exceeding this capacity are discarded. To prevent possible loss of status, the
host must be ready for data reception (Reverse Mode).
❏ When ASB is used, the host is preferably in the wait state for data reception (Reverse Idle
Mode). When this state is not available, the host enters Reverse Mode to continually monitor
data presence.
❏ When ASB is used, preference is given to ASB status for transmission over other status
signals. Any accumulated ASB status signals left for transmission from the last to the newest
ASB status transmissions are transmitted together at one time as one ASB status showing the
presence of change, followed by the latest ASB status.
Example: In the normal (wait) state, the ASB status is configured as follows:
First Status
Second Status
Third Status
Fourth Status
0001 0000
0000 0000
0000 0000
0000 0000
In a sequence of operations including near end detection and the paper FEED button being
pressed and released, the following pieces of data are accumulated.
First Status
Second Status
Third Status

Notes on setting DIP switch 1-8 to ON
The printer mechanism stops but does not become busy when an error occurs, printing stops for
a paper end, or paper is fed using the FEED button.
When setting DIP switch 1-8 to ON to enable handshaking with the printer, be sure to check the
printer status with GS a and ASB function. In this setting, the default value of n for GS a is 2.
The printer automatically transmits the printer status, depending on on-line/off-line changes.
When using DLE EOT and DLE ENQ, be sure that the receive buffer does not become full.
❏ If the host cannot transmit data when the printer is busy or if an error occurs, DLE EOT and
DLE ENQ cannot be used when printer is busy because the receive buffer has become full.
❏ With a host that can transmit data when the printer is busy, if the printer’s receive buffer
becomes full while the host is sending bit-image data, a DLE EOT or DLE ENQ command
transmitted during sending of bit-image data is processed as bit-image data, not as a
command. Secondly, any data transmitted when the receive buffer is full may be lost.
Example: Check printer status using GS r after transmitting each line of data and use the 1KB
receive buffer. Transmit one line of data so that the receive buffer does not become full.

Error Processing
Printer Operation When an Error Occurs
The printer executes the following operations upon detecting an error:
Serial interface
❏ All mechanical operations stop.
❏ DTR signal is set to MARK (only when DTR/DSR is selected and DIP switch 1-8 is off).
❏ The ERROR LED blinks.
❏ XOFF is transmitted when XON/XOFF control is selected (only when DIP switch 1-8 is off).
Parallel interface
❏ All mechanical operations stop.
❏ The BUSY signal is set to HIGH (only when DIP switch 1-8 is off).
❏ Fault signal is set to LOW.
Data Receive Error
If one of the following errors occurs, the printer prints “?” or ignores the data, depending on the
setting of DIP switch 1-1:
❏ Parity error
❏ Framing error
❏ Overrun error.
Buffer Full Printing
When subsequent data is received after the printer processes one line of data in the print buffer,
the printer automatically prints the processed data and feeds the paper one line.
Detectors and Printing
When the printer detects a paper near-end, it stops or continues printing, depending on the ESC
c 4 command setting. The roll paper detector always halts printing when there is no paper.

3. Turn the power on while pressing the FEED button.
4. Before finishing the initialization of the printer, release the FEED button, then press the FEED
button again. The printer first prints “Hexadecimal Dump” on the paper roll, and prints the
data received thereafter in hexadecimal numbers and their corresponding characters until
the printer is turned off.
NOTES:
❏ “.” is printed if no printable ASCII character corresponds to the data received.
❏ Control commands are printed in bold for emphasis.
❏ During the hexadecimal dump, all commands except DLE EOT and DLE ENQ are disabled.
❏ Insufficient print data to fill the last line can be printed by taking the printer off line. (See “Switching between on

When the specified print head drive pulse is input to the drive coil, the iron core is magnetized,
and the actuating plate is pulled in the direction of arrow A. This action pushes the wire toward
the platen. When the wire strikes the ink ribbon and paper against the platen, a single dot is
printed. (The “platen” is the portion of the paper feed frame being struck by the wires during
printing.)
When energizing of the drive coil is completed, the wire and actuating plate are returned to the
standby position by the wire return spring and actuating plate spring.

Printing a character (9x9 font)
A character is printed by energizing the print solenoids with respect to the carriage sub
assembly portion. (The reference timing for the print solenoids is the carriage motor phase
switching signals.) The print head unit moves 0.317 mm (0.012”) (in approximately 1.05 ms) each
time the carriage motor rotates one step (7.5°).
To print the character “2,” print solenoids 2 and 9 are energized first using the same timing as
the carriage motor phase switching signal. Then, print solenoid 8 is energized at TnH (being
delayed a half dot). The remaining print solenoids are energized correspondingly, and the
character “2” is finally printed.

Paper feeding is performed by conveying the paper feed motor’s rotational power from the
paper feed motor gear through the paper feed reduction gear, paper feed gear, and paper feed
roller.
Since the paper feed roller and paper hold roller are pressed together, paper advances to the top
of the paper feed frame assembly because of the friction between the rubber of the paper feed
roller and the paper hold roller.

Ribbon feeding
When the carriage motor rotates forward and the carriage motor gear rotates in the direction of
arrow A, the ribbon intermediate gear and ribbon drive gear rotate in the directions of arrows B
and C, respectively. This causes the ribbon drive plate to move in the direction of arrow D, with
the ribbon intermediate gear shaft in the center, until the ribbon drive gear engages the ribbon
transmission gear.
Since the ribbon transmission gear and the ribbon take-up gear are always engaged, the ribbon
take-up gear rotates in the direction of arrow E.
When the carriage motor rotates in the reverse direction and the carriage motor gear rotates in
the direction of arrow F, the ribbon drive plate moves in the direction of arrow G, disengaging
the ribbon drive gear from the ribbon transmission gear.
Therefore, the ribbon take-up assembly rotates in the direction of arrow E only when the
carriage motor rotates forward. Then the ribbon feed and ribbon hold rollers in the ribbon
cassette, which are engaged with the ribbon take-up assembly, rotate and the ribbon is fed.

the carriage sub assembly and the sensor sub assembly at the left side of the base frame. It
determines the home position, identifies the carriage position, and detects carriage sub assembly
operation errors.
The sensor sub assembly consists of an LED and photo transistor. When the carriage sub
assembly moves, the detection protrusion passes between the LED and photo transistor and
blocks the optical axis of the photo transistor, changing the output level of the photo transistor.
The change in the output level is used as a signal to detect the movement of the carriage sub
assembly.

Paper detection mechanism
The paper detection mechanism is located in the paper path. The mechanism provides paper
end detection for the paper roll and semi-automatic loading by detecting presence or absence of
the paper roll when it is inserted. Since the paper detector switch sub assembly is a micro switch,
it is always ON when the paper roll is loaded.
Paper roll near-end detection mechanism (optional)
The near-end detector assembly consists of the near-end detector lever and a microswitch sensor
and is located on the right side of the lower case. This detector senses the amount of paper left
on the paper roll.
The tip of the near-end detection lever is always pressed against the edge of the paper roll by a
spring inside the microswitch. Therefore, when there is a large amount of paper remaining on
the roll, the near-end detection lever is pressed against the side of the paper roll as depicted by
the solid lines in the figure below. This keeps the microswitch turned on. When the amount of
paper left on the roll decreases below a predetermined amount, the tip of the near-end detection
lever no longer presses against the side of the roll and moves in the direction indicated by the
arrow into the hole in the center of the roll core. This turns the microswitch off and generates a
signal indicating that the paper roll is near its end.

Auto-cutter mechanism
The printer executes a partial cut (one point left uncut) by driving the cutter motor.
When the motor is energized from the standby state, the wormwheel rotates in the direction
indicated by arrow A through the gears from the motor. The resulting motion of the wheel pin
through arm slot C causes the arm to move in direction B. This, in turn, causes slot D to move the
Rev. B

movable blade drive pin in direction E to make the blade execute a cut. If the motor continues
rotating, the wormwheel makes one rotation and it makes the movable blade return to the
standby position and the cutting is finished.

Ribbon Switch Mechanism Unit
The ribbon switch mechanism unit consists of the carriage motor assembly, carriage sub
assembly, tension plate assembly, tension belt pulley, home position detector assembly, ribbon
frame assembly, ribbon frame spring, ribbon switch lever, ribbon release lever, and ribbon
release spring. The mechanism unit is placed at the left and right of the carriage sub assembly,
whose position is controlled by the number of carriage motor steps, using the home position as
the reference position. It switches between the black and red ribbon in the ribbon switch and
ribbon release areas outside the printing area.
Switching from Black to Red
When the carriage, sub assembly (print head unit) moves in direction E and reaches the ribbon
switch area, the ribbon switch lever is pushed by the ribbon switch section and moved to
position A (shown by the dotted lines). The ribbon assembly frame is pushed upward by the
push face for the ribbon frame. The detent face for the ribbon switch falls into the ribbon switch
lever hole in the ribbon frame assembly and the ribbon frame assembly is set to the red position.
Releasing from Red to Black
When the carriage sub assembly moves in the D direction and reaches the ribbon release area,
the ribbon release lever is pushed by the ribbon release section. Then portion C pushes the
ribbon frame assembly upward. At this time, the detent face for the ribbon switch is released
from the ribbon switch lever hole in the ribbon frame assembly and the ribbon switch lever is
returned to ribbon switch lever position B (shown by the solid lines) by the spring power of the

ribbon release spring. When the carriage sub assembly moves in the E direction, the ribbon
frame assembly and ribbon release lever return to their original positions because of the spring
power of the ribbon frame spring.

Principles of Operation
Power Supply Circuitry
The power supply circuit is compact, uses a switching method, and is attached to the main
circuit board. The following sections describe printer power supply circuitry. The following
table shows power supply voltages and their usages.

Printer:
Carriage motor
Print head
Drawer kick-out drive
Paper feed motor
Auto-cutter
Filter circuit
The +24 V (24 to 30 V) DC power is input from CN1 through the filter circuit, which reduces
outside noise and keeps internally generated noise from flowing through the +24 V power line.
+24 VDC circuit
The +24 V power from the filter circuit is input to printer power and the +5 V regulator circuit.
Printer power and drawer drive power are the converted +24 ± 1 V that is regulated by series of
regulators (U2 to U4).
+5 VDC control circuit
The +5 V regulator circuit switches the +24 V power input and converts it to +5 V. The switching
regulator IC (U1) switches the +24 V input, smooths it via C1, and outputs +5 V. Power for the
RS-232 is generated by the internal charge-up circuit on the RS-232 interface driver.

Control Circuitry
Reset circuit
The reset circuit is used to prevent the CPU from operating erratically and the print head from
printing unexpectedly during the period of unstable voltage immediately after power is turned
on. To accomplish this, the OUT terminal output (pin 5) of the reset IC (U9) is supplied to the
CPU (U5) as the RESET input signal (pin 21).
The reset IC (U9) monitors the +5 V voltage. When the voltage is 4.5 V or more, reset is released
for the CPU and other components, and the printer becomes ready.
In addition, the C terminal (pin 4) of the reset IC (U9) is connected to the reset signal (DSR signal
or pin 25 input signal) from the host interface via DIP switches 2-3 and 2-4. If a reset signal is
applied to this pin, reset IC output goes LOW and the CPU and other components are reset.
The reset signals differ, depending on the interface specifications:
RS-232 serial interface:
IEEE 1284 parallel interface:
Two signals can be selected (DSR signal or pin 25 input signal).
Pin 25 must be used for the RESET signal. DIP switch 2-4 is fixed
to ON. The printer can be reset with the Init signal (pin 31) from
the host.

Pin 29 of CN4 is the reset signal of the IEEE 1284 parallel interface circuit board.

Printer Mechanism Driver Circuits
Print head driver circuit
The head driver signal is output from CPU (U5) pins 64 to 72. Receiving this drive signal,
transistor array QM1 and QM2 and transistor array QM3 turn On, Off, and drive the head.
Power supply time to the head is adjusted by the supplied power voltage. The CPU (U5)
changes the power voltage between analog and digital at AN0 (pin 7) and decides and controls
the head power supply time according to the internal time table.
To prevent damage to the head during excessive printing, a heat sensor has been installed in the
print head. An analog-digital conversion of the partial pressure difference between the heat
sensor and R18 is carried out in AN1 (pin 8) of the CPU (U5) and the temperature is calculated. If
the head is overheating or working improperly, the ERROR LED flashes.

Paper feed motor driver circuit
The paper feed motor (stepping motor) possesses an accurate angle of rotation and permits
speed control. It is driven with 2-2 phase excitation. By turning P53 of the CPU to LOW, +24 V
(labeled +24C signal in the figure below) is applied to the COM terminal of its coil, and it is
made to run by changing P90, P91, P92 and P93 to HIGH and LOW. Its speed is determined by
the speed of changing P90, P91, P92, and P93 between HIGH and LOW. At the end of paper
feeding, P53 of the CPU is once again set to HIGH.

Cleaning
1. Wipe off stains with a clean, dry cloth. If the stains cannot be wiped off, use a neutral
detergent.
CAUTION:
Never use benzene, alcohol, thinner, trichloroethylene, or any of the ketone family of
solvents because they may deform or damage plastic and rubber components.
2. Thoroughly clean all parts of the printer with a vacuum cleaner.
Note:
Check the amount of lubrication in each cleaned area and lubricate as needed. See “Lubricants”
below.
Lubricants
Lubrication is critical to retaining the printer at its initial performance level throughout its
product life, as well as avoiding potential problems. Always lubricate at prescribed intervals,
using the correct lubricants.
Standard Lubrication
❏ During disassembly and reassembly, clean the parts first, then lubricate them. See the
lubrication points table in this chapter and the lubrication and adhesive points diagrams in
the Appendix.
❏ Lubricate or overhaul after every 7.5 million lines printed.
Lubricants
The types of lubricants used greatly affect the printer’s performance and durability, and a
lubricant’s low-temperature characteristics require special attention. EPSON has conducted
thorough analyses of the technical data and wide-ranging experimentation on different
lubricants. The EPSON selection of lubricants prescribed for use with the printer is based on the
results of such research. The prescribed EPSON lubricants are available in 40 cc (40 gr) metal
cans or plastic containers (the smallest unit of supply).
The two types of lubricants used with this printer are G-31 and O-10.

Addendum 1
Main Circuit Board Types and Maintenance
Changes
In ANK font model, the following three changes were made with regard to the main circuit
board.
❏ EP-ROM equipped main circuit board no longer used
❏ Number of switches in DIP switch set DSW2*1 changed from 4 to 8
❏ Function assignment of 8-switch DIP switch set DSW2*1 changed*2
*1 DIP switch set DSW1 is unchanged.
*2 Some products are not applicable with this modification depends on destination of shipment.
EP-ROM equipped main circuit board no longer used in ANK font model
The control program for the printer can be contained in two types of memory: EP-ROM or flash
memory. When EP-ROM is used, the EP-ROM chip is installed in a socket on the main circuit
board. When flash memory is used, the flash memory chip is soldered to the main circuit board.
Previously, the ANK font model used an EP-ROM on the main circuit board, whereas the
multilingual font model used flash memory on the main circuit board. For printers in current
production, the ANK font model also has been changed to flash memory.
However, spare parts for the ANK font model still are supplied with the EP-ROM type main
circuit board.
Number of switches in DIP switch set DSW2 changed in ANK font model
The printer has two sets of DIP switches: DSW1 and DSW2. The number of switches contained
in DSW2 has been changed from 4 to 8. (The multilingual font model has been using 8-switch
DIP switch for the DIP switch set DSW2 from start of mass production.)
The added switches control internal functions of the printer and are not available for user setting
purpose.

Main Circuit Board Types and Maintenance Addendum 1-1
Confidential
Function assignment of 8-switch DIP switch set DSW2 changed in ANK font model
The following changes were made in ANK font model*3. (There has been no change for
multilingual font model.)
*3 Some products are not applicable with this modification depends on destination of shipment even if it is ANK font
model.
Serial interface model
The "printer reset signal enabled/disabled" function was changed from DSW2-7 and DSW2-8 to
DSW2-3 and DSW2-4.
Parallel interface model
The "printer reset signal enabled/disabled" function was changed from DSW2-8 to DSW2-4.

Servicing Precautions
During servicing and repair of the printer, observe the following points.
❏ Use the correct main circuit board
❏ Use the correct DIP switch setting table
❏ Use the correct circuit diagram
For details, please see the following sections.
Using the correct main circuit board
When replacing the main circuit board, select the correct board for the printer. Determine the
board according to the following sequence.
1. Check whether the printer is an ANK font model/Japanese font model/Chinese font
model/Taiwanese font model. If it is an ANK font model, proceed to next step. For the other
models, go to step 3.
2. Check the setting of DIP switch set DSW2 according to the information given in the section
"Using the correct DIP switch setting table" on the next page.
3. Select the correct main circuit board according to the following table.

(Traditional Chinese)
Main circuit board unit AQ (equipped with flash memory)
Type AD
In future, main circuit boards other than those listed above may also become available. Check
for the latest information as follows.
1. Check the model code (noted on manufacturing name plate).
2. Obtain the parts price list matching the model code.
Note:
There are two different parts price lists, one for the EP- ROM equipped model, and one for the flash
memory model. Choose the parts price list for the flash memory model.
Rev. B
Confidential
3. Check the latest main circuit board type and the part code.
Using the correct DIP switch setting table
The DIP switch set DSW2 can have either 4 or 8 switches. For the 8-switch DSW2, there are two
types with different function assignments.
Before setting the DIP switch set DSW2, check which type is installed in the printer.
Identifying the DIP switch set DSW2 type
The following three types exist for the DIP switch set DSW2.
DIP switch set DSW2 type
Type D
Type AD
Type CD
Identify the type as follows.
1. Remove the lower plate.
2. Check the area shown below to see if there is a printing that begins with “SET.”
3.
If there is no such printing, the DSW2 is type D.
4. If there is a printing that begins with “SET,” use the following table to identify the type.
