TM-U200 Series (Type B) Service Manual

Confidential

RAM (CPU internal 2K bit)

RAM is used as temporary storage for the following:

❏

Data received from the interface (receive buffer)

❏

Pattern data to be printed by the print head (printer buffer)

❏

Data used by the CPU (U5) during processing (flags, pointers, etc.).

Operation panel

The operation panel is located on the main circuit board and has 3 LEDs (

POWER

ERROR

, and

PAPER OUT

) and 1 switch (

FEED

). The

POWER

LED is driven at the same time as +5 V is

supplied by the power supply circuit. The

ERROR

and

PAPER OUT

LEDs are driven by U5.

Switch detection is also executed by the U5.

Various detector circuits

When the printer detects paper, the paper detector at the paper inlet turns the input signal to the

CPU (U5) LOW. This detector also functions as the semi-automatic loading detector.

A home position sensor is provided to detect the print head position. The input signal to the

CPU (U5) becomes LOW when home position is detected.
