CHAPTER 1 PRECAUTIONS Read through this manual to design and operate the printer properly. Pay special attention to the precautions noted in each section. 1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Follow these precautions when designing a product using the printer, and include any necessary precautions and warning labels to ensure the safe operation of your product by users. Preventing the thermal head from overheating When electricity is continuously supplied to the thermal head heat element by a CPU or other ma

1.2 DESIGN AND HANDLING PRECAUTIONS To maintain the initial level of performance of the printer and to prevent future problems from occurring, observe the following precautions. 1.2.1 Design Precautions Design precautions If too much energy is applied to the thermal head, it may overheat and become damaged. Always use the printer with the specified amount of energy. The current capacity of the thermal head is 13.6A. Design the circuit so that the average current does not exceed this value. (

Always close the platen and feed the paper at 16 dots or more per line when printing is in a standby state. The elastic deformation of the platen roller rubber will be retreated. Mechanism precautions Apply power in the following manner: When turning the power ON: 1) Vdd (5 V) → 2) Vp (24 V) At shut down: 1) Vp (24 V) → 2) Vdd (5 V) Cut surfaces of metallic parts may become discolored and rusted due to the operational environment. Consider these factors regarding appearance. Do not apply a

Printing and paper feeding precautions Make sure that variation in the motor drive frequency does not lead to noise or a loss of paper feed force before making designs. Design the outer case to prevent the paper feed out from being caught in the platen. When or after printing or paper feed has been suspended, if data is input or printing restarts, paper feed may not be performed properly for several dot lines just after printing starts. This problem is more likely to occur when printing bit

1.2.2 Handling Precautions Incorrect handling may reduce the efficiency of the printer and cause damage. Handle the printer with the following precautions. Also, include any necessary precautions so that users handle the printer with care. To prevent the heat elements, ICs, etc. from static electricity, discharge all static electricity before handling the printer. Pay special attention to the thermal head control terminals when handling. Do not apply stress to the thermal head control termina
