This is accomplished by delaying the print timing pulse on which the carriage moves from the 136th column to the 1st, using the print timing pulse when the carriage moves from the 1st to 136th column as reference.
Page 87: Printhead Controller/Driver Circuit
Operating Principles 2.3.7 Printhead Controller/Driver Circuit The printhead of this printer has 24 head coils (12X2 lines) driven by the constant current coil driver circuit which consists of 2 transistors (PNP and NPN) and MOSFET. The printhead is driven by the flat wheel system. The transistors turn on and off the head coil voltages (VPA, VPB) according to the printing pulse A.
Page 88: Control Panel Circuit
DLQ-3000+ 2.3.8 Control Panel Circuit E05A89, the gate array for the control panel I/F, has the LCD driver, LED driver and panel switch input circuit built in. The serial I/F is used for signal transmission between the control panel and the main control board. The cover open sensor signal on the logic line is directly sent to the main control board via the control panel board.
Page 89: Pg (Platen Gap) Motor Driver Circuit
Operating Principles 2.3.9 PG (Platen Gap) Motor Driver Circuit Since a PM-type stepping motor is used for the PG motor, the motor can rotate in the both forward and backward direction and stop anywhere. The torque from the PG motor moves the CR guide shaft to obtain the proper PG. (Refer to Section 2.1.3.) The motor is driven by 2-2 phase.
Page 90: Paper Thickness Detecting Circuit
DLQ-3000+ 2.3.10 Paper Thickness Detecting Circuit PG is detected by the paper thickness sensor which consists of the slit disc and the photo- electric transfer element. See Table 2-19 and Figure 2-22 for the paper thickness sensor specification and paper thickness sensor circuit block diagram, respectively. Table 2-19.
Page 91: Paper Jam Sensor
Operating Principles 2.3.11 Paper Jam Sensor This printer is equipped with the paper jam sensor mechanism which consists of the magnetized roller attached to the same shaft for the sub loading roller assembly and the sensor (hall element) located beside the rear paper sensor. Having no contact with the loading drive roller assembly, the magnetized roller rotates independently along paper.
Page 92 DLQ-3000+ 2.3.12 Other Sensor Circuits This printer is equipped with other sensors to monitor printer condition in detailed. Head thermistor The head thermistor detects temperatures around the head and sends the information with the analog signal to the CPU A/C converter using the internal resistance (16.5K This information prevents worn-out and shorter life of the drive coils due to over duty printing, and protects printhead during operation at low temperatures.
Page 93 Operating Principles Front paper sensor Front paper sensor detects TOF position as well as paper presence condition. It uses a photo interrupter system. However, one end of the detecting lever is mechanically used to detect the leading edge of the paper, and the other end is to cut in between the photo interrupter sensor to detect paper.
Page 94 DLQ-3000+ CSF sensor CSF sensor uses terminals for the CSF paper quantity sensor. The output signal for this sensor is pulled up to 10K , then input to the CPU via the filter circuit which consists of the resistor and the condenser. Table 2-28.
