Test Points on the Main Circuit Board Unit

Power Supply Line Check

After a main circuit board unit failure, one basic method for diagnosing the cause of the problem on the main circuit board unit is to check the power supply line. Use the following table to check the power supply line. First, check step number 1, and proceed to the next step if that is not the problem.

Table1-4 Checking the power supply line

Step # Type of Voltage

Location of Measurement

Condition of Measurement

Normal Value Presumed Cause of the Error

1 Voltage input from the power supply

CN29, pin 1 Output when the power supply is ON.

24 V ± 10 % It is possible that the problem is pre-arcing of the F1 fuse. The fuse may have pre-arced because of an unusual input circuit.

Always replace the fuse after removing the cause of the pre-arcing. If you do not remove the cause of the pre-arcing, and replace this fuse, the problem may expand to misoperation. Also, always use the specified type of fuse when replacing.

Chapter 2Assembly and Disassembly

Before Assembly and Disassembly

Always observe the following precautions when disassembling and assembling the printer.

CAUTION:Always remove the power supply unit from the printer before working. Power is flowing in the internal circuit board even if you turn the printer off with the power supply switch. You can damage the printer if you work with the power supply still attached.

Remove all peripheral equipment connected to the printer before starting your work.

Do not perform any work that is not described in this chapter. Doing so can result in injuries or damage to the printer.

Do not touch the FPC or the FFC pins with your hands.

About this Chapter

Procedures

This chapter provides the procedures for assembling. Reverse them to disassemble the printer.

Assembly is organized into “Assembling the Mechanism Assembly (M-U675),” and “Assembling the TM-U675.” Each section is further divided into “Pre-assembly” and “Assembly.”

Do “Pre-assembly” steps first, and then do “Assembly” after you have assembled the parts into units to some degree.

Adjusting the Platen Gap

Adjust the platen gap when you have performed either of the following:

Use the following steps to adjust the platen gap.

1. Connect the power supply unit to the printer. Turn on the printer power switch. Turn off the printer power switch when the printer finishes the power on test. Remove the power supply unit from the printer. (This procedure will close the platen.)

Note:When you are adjusting the platen gap, you must close the platen. There are instances where the platen is open on this printer after assembly because of positioning of the gears and cams. Therefore, you must always use the procedure in step to close the platen.

2. Remove the ribbon cassette cover. (See page 2-109.)

3. Remove the carriage cover frame assembly. (See page 1-16.)

4. Use 0.45 mm and 0.50 mm thickness gauges. Insert the thickness gauges from the side of the print head unit, as shown in the figure below.

Movement of print head unit

When the carriage motor rotates the carriage motor gear in the direction shown by the white arrow, the driving force is transmitted sequentially to the carriage drive pulley and carriage transmission belt, moving the head carriage assembly, which is fixed to the carriage transmission belt, in the direction indicated by the white arrow. (See Figure D-5.)

Figure D-5

Printing operation

Wire movement when printing one dot

1. When an electrical pulse is applied to the drive coil, the steel core is excited, and the operation plate is pulled in the direction indicated by black arrow. At this time, the dot wire is pressed against the operation plate by the force of the wire return spring. The force of the operation plate pushes the dot wire out towards the platen (in the direction indicated by black arrow).

2. The dot wire prints a dot when it strikes the platen through the ink ribbon and paper.

Printing operation when printing one character

This section explains the printing operation for a 9 9 dot matrix.

Characters are printed by energizing the print solenoids at a timing corresponding to the head carriage movement position, using the carriage motor phase change signal as a reference signal. The print head unit moves approximately 0.339 mm with a one step rotation (7.5°) of the carriage motor.

To print the number "2," print solenoid numbers 2 and 9 are energized in sync with the carriage motor phase change signal. Next, print solenoid number 8 is energized in sync with TnH, delayed by a half dot time interval. The number "2" is printed by repeating this process.(See Figure D-7.)

Platen open/close operation

The platen adjustment screw attaches the platen to the platen lever. The platen opens and closes to prepare for feeding a slip, check, or validation sheet. When the lever coil is energized while the lever drive motor rotates, it releases the linkage of the lever ratchet wheel to the paper feed trigger attraction plate, and the lever drive gear rotates the prescribed amount in the direction shown by the arrow. This rotation is transmitted by the lever drive transmission gear, rotating the platen lever open/close cam 180°. The platen lever moves in the direction indicated by arrow a around the platen lever shaft, and the platen and slip feed roller open. (See Figure D-8.)

To close the platen, the lever drive coil is energized again while the lever drive motor rotates, turning the lever drive gear the prescribed amount in the direction of the arrow. This rotates the platen lever open/close cam 180°, and the platen lever is moved in the direction shown by arrow b around the platen lever shaft by the slip retainer spring. The slip feed roller and slip hold roller make contact at this time, closing the platen.

Home position detection mechanism

The home position detection mechanism is located at the left end of the head carriage assembly. This mechanism keeps track of the head carriage assembly movement position. The initial setting is made by sensing the detection plate at the rear of the head carriage assembly.

The home position detector consists of an LED and photo IC. When the head carriage assembly is moved, the detection plate passes between the LED and photo IC. The photo IC output level changes when the light rays are interrupted. This change in output level is used as a detection signal for the head carriage movement position.

Figure D-10

Carriage detection mechanism

The carriage detection mechanism uses a rotary encoder interlocked to the carriage motor gear to detect abnormal carriage motor rotation.

This mechanism is comprised of the carriage drive transmission gear and carriage detector, which are located on the carriage motor shaft.

The carriage detector consists of an LED and phototransistor.

The driving force generated by the carriage motor is transmitted to the carriage motor gear, carriage drive pulley, carriage belt, carriage transmission pulley, and the carriage drive transmission gear, which is located at an equal interval on the inside of the gear, where the screening plate is located. When the carriage drive transmission gear is rotated by the driving force of the carriage motor, the screening plate passes between the LED and phototransistor.

The output level of the phototransistor changes at this time, since the light rays are interrupted.

This output level is used as the detection signal for carriage motor rotation.

Bottom of form (B.O.F.) detection mechanism

The B.O.F. detection mechanism detects whether or not slip paper has been inserted, and detects the rear edge of the paper when printing is performed.

The mechanism is located near the right end of where paper is inserted to ensure it can determine whether or not a slip has been inserted and for proper positioning.

The B.O.F. detector is comprised of an LED and phototransistor. When a paper slip is inserted, the light rays between the LED and photo resistor are interrupted, resulting in a change in the phototransistor output level.

This change in output level is used as a detection signal to determine whether or not a slip has been inserted.

The T.O.F. detector is comprised of an LED and phototransistor. Reflected light is used to determine whether or not a slip has been inserted.

When a slip is inserted, light emitted by the LED is reflected, resulting in a change in the phototransistor output level.

This change in output level is used as a detection signal to determine whether or not a slip has been inserted.

Figure D-14

Paper ejection detection mechanism

The paper ejection detection mechanism detects whether or not a slip has been inserted. The mechanism is located on the head cover for the slip paper ejection port to ensure it can determine whether or not paper remains in the unit after the slip ejection operation has taken place.

The paper ejection detector is comprised of an LED and phototransistor. Reflected light is used to determine whether or not the slip has been ejected.

When a slip reaches the paper ejection detector after printing is performed and the slip is fed, light emitted by the LED is reflected, resulting in a change in the phototransistor output level.

This change in output level is used as a detection signal to determine whether or not a slip is present.

Roll paper end detector mechanism

The roll paper end detector mechanism detects the presence of roll paper. It is located behind the sub paper feed roller in the roll paper feed path so that it can detect the insertion of paper when semi-automatically loading roll paper.

The roll paper end detector includes an LED and a phototransistor. The reflection of light is used to detect the presence of paper.

When there is paper in the feed path, or when you are performing semi-autoloading, LED light is reflected when the roll paper is inserted. This changes the output level of the phototransistor. The change in output level is detected and is used as the detection signal for the presence of roll paper.

Roll paper near end detector mechanism

The roll paper near end detector mechanism is made up of the N.E. detector lever and a microswitch. It is attached to the right side of the paper feed unit, and it detects the amount of roll paper remaining.

The tip of the N.E. detector lever is pushed against the edge of the roll paper by a spring built into the microswitch. Therefore, the N.E. detector lever touches the edge of the roll paper when there is a substantial amount of roll paper remaining, which keeps the microswitch turned ON, as shown in the following illustration. The tip of the N.E. detector lever moves in the direction of the arrow as the amount of roll paper remaining becomes lower than the prescribed amount. The tip of the N.E. detector, thus, moves toward the core of the roll paper center thereby turning OFF the microswitch to generate a detection signal.

Figure D-17

Validation detector mechanism

The validation detector mechanism is located near the bottom of the paper insertion position to detect the presence of a validation sheet.

The validation detector mechanism includes an LED and a phototransistor. Reflected light is used to detect the presence of paper. Inserting validation paper causes the LED light to reflect, which changes the output level of the phototransistor.

This detector mechanism detects the change in output level and outputs a detection signal for the presence of the validation paper.

Lever motor timing pulse (T.P.) detection mechanism

The lever motor T.P. detection mechanism consists of a lever drive motor detector plate and lever motor T.P. detector on the lever drive motor gear. It detects lever drive motor rotation and generates the signal, which determines the timing for energizing of the lever coil, which in turn controls opening/closing of the platen lever and opening/closing of the sub slip feed roller.

Front cover open detection mechanism

The front cover open detector is located at the right side of the printer mechanism, and detects opening and closing of the front cover. This detector consists of an LED and phototransistor. A screening part, located on the rear of the cover, interrupts light rays when the cover is closed. When the cover is opened, the light rays reach the phototransistor, resulting in a change in its output level. This change in output level is used as a detection signal to determine when the front cover is open.

Figure D-21

Rear cover detector mechanism

The rear cover detector is located in the back, right side of the printer mechanism. It detects whether the rear cover is open or closed. This detector is comprised of an LED and phototransistor. When the cover is closed, the light interrupter on the back of the cover interrupts the optical axis. When the cover is open, the optical axis is opened, which changes the output level of the phototransistor. The detector takes this output level as the detection signal for the rear cover open detector.

Roll Paper Feed Mechanism

This mechanism mainly includes the paper feed motor, J/S change assembly, roll paper feed gears, and the paper feed unit. Paper feeds are performed by switching the power from the paper feed motor between the roll paper feed and slip paper feed by the J/S change assembly. This explains the operation for roll paper feeds.

Figure D-23

Roll paper insertion operation (semi-autoloading)

When the platen lever open/close cam is in the idle position, the sub paper feed rollers and sub paper hold rollers in the paper feed unit are open. (See "Platen open/close operation" earlier in this appendix.) When the leading edge of paper is manually inserted into the opening, the paper end detector built into the paper feed unit detects its presence. The platen lever open/close cam rotates and the sub paper feed roller and sub paper hold rollers close to grasp the paper and the rotation of the paper feed motor starts the semi-autoloading.

As shown in Figure D-24, when idling, the platen lever open and close cam holds the platen lever in the direction of arrow a and the paper guide lever in the direction of arrow c. The auxiliary paper guide spring force holds the auxiliary paper guide in the direction of arrow e. When roll paper is inserted and the paper end detector detects the edge of the paper, the lever drive motor is started and the platen lever open and close guide operates. The platen lever spring holds the platen lever in the direction of arrow b. The paper guide lever spring holds the paper guide lever in the direction of arrow d while the paper feed motor drives and starts semi-

autoloading. The semi-autoloaded paper roll passes through the paper path past the platen lever, and then passes to the front side of the platen to be guided to the auxiliary paper guide. It is guided outside the paper feed unit after passing the area where the paper feed roller and paper pressing roller are pressed together. The roll paper that has passed out of the paper feed roller is directed up by the protrusions in center of assist paper guide, and the assist paper guide is rotated in the direction of arrow f and is closed. (See Figure D-25.)

In this configuration, you cannot insert roll paper to the paper feed roller in slip mode.

The paper feed rollers and paper hold rollers and the sub paper feed rollers and sub paper hold rollers are pressed together. They feed the roll paper that has been fed by the roll paper insert operation. (See Figure D-26.) The paper feed roller feeds paper the prescribed amount, but the sub paper feed roller is set to a paper feed amount that is slightly less than that amount. The difference in feed amounts is built into the sub paper feed roller. (See Figure D-27.) The sub paper feed clutch spring and related parts slip to prevent slack in the roll paper.

Take-up operation

The take-up drive force for the printed roll paper is supplied by the paper feed motor, and is sequentially transmitted to the take-up shaft by the paper feed transmission gear, J/S change gear, paper feed reduction gear, take-up drive gear, take-up belt, take-up pulley, take-up clutch, and take-up gear. (See Figure D-29.) Take-up force is transmitted to the take-up shaft by the movement of the take-up clutch spring between the take-up pulley and take-up gear. This rotates the take-up shaft in the direction indicated by arrow a, winding up the printed paper roll.

Roll paper release operation

The roll paper release operation lets you remove pieces of roll paper that still remain when you are replacing roll paper. You can use this when there are paper jams or when you are removing pieces of paper.

The paper is released by operating the release lever beside the paper feed motor on top of the paper feed unit. The end of the release lever is located very near the paper hold roller. When you push the part of the lever labeled "PUSH" in the direction indicated by arrow b, the paper hold roller on the paper hold roller shaft is moved in the direction indicated by arrow a, releasing the connection with the paper feed roller, releasing any paper in between.

Specifically, the release lever is provided by the paper feed motor and very near the paper hold roller shaft to remove paper that interferes with the contact between the paper hold roller and paper feed roller. When you push the part of the release lever labeled “PUSH” in the direction indicated by arrow b, the release lever rotates around the pivot in the direction of arrow c, and the end of the release lever pushes out the end of the paper hold roller shaft in the direction indicated by arrow a. After the paper is released, the paper hold roller and release lever are returned to their original positions by two paper hold roller springs built into both ends of the paper hold roller shaft.

Slip Feed Mechanism

The slip feed mechanism is comprised of the following parts:

Form stopper

Sub slip feed lever

Sub slip feed roller

Sub slip hold roller

Slip feed roller

Slip hold roller

Paper feed motor and wheel

Positioning slip paper

The slip paper path is normally interrupted by the form stopper, located perpendicular to the path, which is held in place by the form stopper spring. When a slip is inserted along the right edge of the slip guide lower frame in the direction indicated by the arrow, the slip paper goes in as far as the form stopper and is positioned. (See Figure D-34.)

When the paper feed motor rotates several times forward and reverse while energizing the J/S change solenoid, the J/S change lever will switch the J/S change gear that had been engaged with the roll paper feed gear so that it is engaged with the slip paper feed gear. (See Figure D-35.)

When the T.O.F. detector and B.O.F. detector determine that a slip has been inserted, the lever drive coil is energized while the lever drive motor is rotated. At this time, the linkage between the paper feed trigger attraction plate and lever drive ratchet wheel is disconnected, the lever drive shaft and lever drive cam rotate, and the sub slip feed lever moves in the direction indicated by arrow a. (See Figure D-34.) This pushes up the sub slip feed roller, compressing the sub slip hold roller. At the same time as this, the sub spring feed lever moves the form stopper in the direction indicated by arrow b (See Figure D-34), completing preparations for feeding the slip away from the form stopper slip path. (See Figures D-34, 36.)

Figure D-36

After this, the paper feed motor is rotated a number of steps corresponding to the slip paper format in the direction indicated by the arrow. The rotation force is transmitted to the slip feed roller and sub slip feed roller by the gears, positioning the slip paper at the top. (See Figure D-37.)

Slip paper printing and paper feed operation

After the slip is positioned, printing can be performed. The paper feed motor drives the slip feed roller upon the completion of printing of one line, feeding the paper the prescribed distance. The slip paper can be fed forward or reverse by controlling the energizing signal of the paper feed motor.

The slip feed mechanism gear assembly is comprised of the following parts:

Paper feed motor gear for paper feed motor

Paper feed transmission gear

J/S change gear (J/S change solenoid engages this with the slip paper feed gear)

Paper feed reduction gear

Slip transmission gear

Slip drive gear

The driving force of the paper feed motor is transmitted to the slip feed roller and slip hold roller simultaneously via the gears, creating the force to feed the slip paper on the front and on the back.

When the slip paper is fed forward, the respective gears rotate in the directions indicated by arrow a, arrow b, arrow c, arrow d, arrow e, and arrow f. This rotates the slip feed roller and slip hold roller in the directions indicated by arrows g and h, feeding the slip paper in the direction indicated by the arrow. When the slip paper is fed in the reverse direction, the operation is performed in the opposite direction. (See Figure D-37.)

Validation Mechanism

Feeding validation paper

When you use validation paper, the force of the drive of the paper feed motor switches to the slip paper feed gear using the J/S change mechanism.

The open/close operation (see "Platen open and close operation") moves the platen lever frame in the direction of arrow a and the slip paper roller and platen are opened. Validation paper can be inserted from the top of the printer mechanism in this state. When the trailing edge of validation paper is detected, the detection signal is output. This signal is received, the lever drive motor is started, and the platen lever moves in the direction of arrow b (in Figure D-8). This causes the slip feed roller and the slip hold roller to grasp the validation paper. The platen closes to ensure the appropriate platen gap, and printing is possible. When the printing of one line of characters is completed, the paper feed motor is driven to rotate the slip feed roller to feed the validation paper the prescribed amount in the upward direction.

Ribbon Feed Mechanism

The ribbon feed mechanism is comprised of the following parts. (See Figure D-38.)

Transmission gear

Ribbon reduction gear

Ribbon drive gear

Ribbon intermediate gear

Ribbon take-up gear

Ribbon take-up shaft

The rotation of the carriage transmission pulley driven via the carriage transmission belt is used to feed the ribbon.

Rev. B Product Overview Appendix D-29

Page 203: Epson Tmu-675 p Service Manual

Confidential

This ribbon feed mechanism only feeds the ribbon when the head carriage assembly is moved from the right side to the left side.

Figure D-38

Ribbon feed operation

When the carriage motor moves the head carriage assembly from the right side to the left side, the carriage transmission pulley rotates in the direction indicated by arrow A in Figure D-39. This driving force rotates the ribbon drive gear (planetary gear) in the direction indicated by arrow B via the transmission gear and ribbon reduction gear. At this time, the ribbon drive plate rotates in the direction indicated by arrow C around the ribbon reduction gear rotation shaft until the ribbon drive gear meshes with the ribbon intermediate gear.

Meshing of these gears transmits the driving force of the ribbon drive gear to the ribbon take-up gear via the ribbon intermediate gear, rotating the ribbon take-up shaft mounted at the top in the direction shown by arrow D. (See Figure D-39.)

The ribbon is fed when the ribbon feed roller in the ribbon cassette meshes with this ribbon take-up shaft.

On the other hand, when the head carriage assembly moves from left to right, the carriage transmission pulley rotates in the direction of arrow E, and the ribbon drive plate rotates in the direction of arrow F around the ribbon reduction gear rotation shaft. Consequently, the ribbon drive gear and ribbon intermediate gear no longer mesh, the ribbon take-up gear remains in place, and the ribbon is not fed.

MICR character reading, and printing on front

When using the MICR process, the force of the drive of the paper feed motor switches to the slip paper feed gear using the J/S change mechanism. A check is inserted just like any other slip. When a check is inserted along the right edge of the slip guide lower frame in the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure below, it is fed up to the form stopper and positioned.

After the T.O.F. and B.O.F. detectors determine that a check has been inserted, the sub slip feed roller and sub slip hold roller take hold of the check in an operation like that described for positioning the slip paper. This prepares for movement of the form stopper in the direction indicated by the arrow to feed the check. The MICR solenoid is then energized, moving the MICR lever in the direction indicated by the arrow, and the MICR fixing mounted to the MICR lever pushes the check against the MICR head.

Next, the paper feed motor rotates at the MICR reading speed in the same way as for slip paper feed, transporting the check. When the MICR characters on the check pass over the MICR magnet in front of the MICR unit, they are magnetized. The check is transported farther, and when the characters pass through the MICR unit, they are read by the MICR head, shown in Figure D-41.

In the event the MICR characters cannot be recognized during the MICR reading process, the check is ejected out the rear (see Note 1).

Upon completion of MICR reading, the check is fed to the position corresponding to the format for printing on the front of the check, and the head carriage assembly prints in the prescribed format on the front of the check. After printing, the check is fed forward and ejected, completing the operation. The slip feed roller rotates during the front printing process, feeding the check forward in the same way as for a slip (see Note 2).

Reset Circuit

Stable operation of the CPU and GA requires a certain reset period immediately after power up. All operations return to their initial status after the reset operation. The reset IC (U1) on this printer monitors the logic power source (VCC, Standard output: +5V), and sets the reset signal to LOW when the VCC is 4.2V or lower. The reset signal is restored from LOW to HIGH 50 ms after the VCC exceeds 4.2V. The CPU and GA operate normally after reset.

The main specifications of the reset IC are shown below:

Reset also can be performed by sending the reset signal from the host interface.

The host interface reset signal (DSR signal and pin 25 input signal) is connected through DSW 2-7 and 2-8. When the reset signal (LOW) is applied here, the printer is reset. In the reset status, the CPU and GA are initialized, but the power remains on, and this status differs from when the power is turned on again. It is necessary to keep this in mind. The reset circuit is shown below.

The SHEAD 1-9 signal lines (LOW active) are on the left side. These signals are directly driven by the GA (directly connected to GA [U30]). Signals SHEAD 1-9 are input to the head drive (QM3, 6, Q12: All NPN Darlington transistors) via the print driver (QM2, 4, 5, 7, Q13: All PNP transistors). The driver is an NPN Darlington transistor. The driver is internally clamped at Vce = 60V ±10V by an internal Zener. The driver performs logical calculation at hgf>1000, providing adequate flow for one solenoid. To utilize the regenerative current of the head solenoid effectively, the regenerative current when the GND COMMON is turned off by D6, D7 is channeled to the solenoid. With this printer, the head drive signal is controlled by the GA, and at the same time, the COMMON (24V power source voltage side) is chopped, enabling efficient head drive. The chopping circuit is shown below:

Figure D-47

The HEADCOM1 common drive signal driven by GA (U30) drives the Q7 MOSFET. Since it is necessary to drive Q7 at high speed (100 KHz or less), a speed-up circuit is added (Q47 periphery, pulls out electric gate load of Q7). The operating principle of the speed-up circuit is not described here. The relationship of the HEADCOM1 signal and SHEAD signals are shown below. The chopping cycle of the HEADCOM signal differs, depending on the voltage and temperature, but is virtually the same as the waveform in the diagram.

Carriage Motor Drive Circuit

The carriage motor for this printer is a two-phase stepping motor. Constant-current drive is provided using 2-2 phase excitation as the drive method. Therefore, a dedicated constant-current drive chopping driver (U14, A2917SEB made by Alegrow) is used.

Figure D-49

Since the driver is of the constant-current type, the motor can be directly driven by setting the peak current. The peak current is set as described below, using the logical level of terminal I0 and I1.

At this time, VREF uses the DA output of the CPU (U3), and is set to an arbitrary value (0 - VCC) by firmware. RS is the resistance value (0.68 Ω) of R78 and R101. Accordingly, the current to the motor is calculated by the logic level of I0, I1 (judged by VREF1, 2 terminal voltage).

The drive signal to drive the phases is sent at the logical level of the PHASE1, 2 terminals. The motor driver cannot operate unless signal 24VSW1 in the circuit diagram is set to HIGH (controlled by the GA). When this signal is at a status other than HIGH, IC consumption is 0, and no electricity goes to the motor.

Slip Paper Feed Motor Drive Circuit

The slip paper feed motor is two-phase stepping motor. The driving method is 1-2 phase excitation during acceleration and deceleration, and constant-current drive is performed with 2-2 phase excitation. Therefore, a dedicated constant-current drive chopping driver (U17, A2917SEB made by Alegrow) is used.

Figure D-50

The circuit configuration is the same as the carriage motor driver, but the current setting is fixed, and is changed between two levels by the output (PF_HOLD) of the GA (U30) port. The current calculation procedure is described below.

Current = VREF/(10 Rs)

RS: 1Ω

VREF: VCC or voltage obtained by voltage division ratio of R105 and R106.

As for the carriage motor drive circuit, the driver IC is operated by setting the 24VSW1 signal HIGH.

Lever Motor Drive Circuit

This printer has a DC type lever motor for the purpose described below.

Adjustment of paper path changeover timing

Adjustment of shaft rotation position

Rotation of the lever motor starts changeover of the paper path and the platen open/close operation. An NPN Darlington transistor is used for lever motor drive. Due to the structure of the lever motor, a brake circuit is not required. The lever motor is driven using the ELV_M1 output signal from the GA.

The lever motor rotates when LEV_M1 = LOW. The motor cannot be driven when the VCC-PWR is not being supplied. Furthermore, the Q41 NPN Darlington transistor incorporates a CE Zener to perform kickback protection.

• Reset Status: 13V applied in opposite direction of operation, releasing hold status

Figure D-53

To control the MICR solenoid, it is necessary to apply two voltage levels (24V, 13V) in opposite directions. Therefore, the MICR solenoid has a complicated circuit configuration. The MICR solenoid is driven by MICR_SOL1 and MICR_SOL2 (output signals from the CPU). MICR_SOL1 determines the direction in which electricity is sent, and MICR_SOL2 drives the MICR solenoid. The logic is described in the following table.

The MICR solenoid is not driven when MICR_SOL2 is HIGH. MICR_SOL1 is the solenoid drive signal. This is to prevent a short when the transistors go on at the same time.

The MICR solenoid drive circuit is shown below.

MICR reader operating principles

MICR stands for “magnetic ink character recognition.” Unlike conventional printing ink, magnetic ink includes iron powder or some other magnetic element, which gives the ink itself magnetic properties.

Application of a magnetic field on one side of characters printed in magnetic ink on a check causes the characters to be magnetized, as shown in the illustration below.

Input Circuits

Logic Power Source Circuit

The logic power source circuit generates the power for this printer. The CPU, GA, and most other circuits do not operate if voltage is not output by the logic power source circuit. The power source circuit has an input of 24V, and uses a dedicated DC/DC converter IC (U11: PQ1CZ1) to output 5V ± 4%.

Figure D-58

The output voltage is determined by the potential division of R82 and R85. In other words, the circuit operates so that the crossover voltage of R82 and R85 is 1.26 V.

The input voltage of 24V for the power supply circuit is supplied to U11 through the R2 fuse resistor (KOA RF73B2HTE0.51). R3 may burn out in the event of a malfunction in the U11 area. R3 will also burn out in the event of excessive VCC voltage (approx. 7.5 V or more). This fuse resistor cannot be replaced. Therefore, the circuit cannot be repaired by replacing the R3 in the event it has burned out due to a circuit malfunction.

Rush Current Control Circuit

The rush current control circuit controls rush current when the power source is turned on. This printer has large-capacity condensers to facilitate stable operation of mechanism drivers and circuits. Therefore, an excess of rush current is generated when the power is turned on. This circuit controls the rush current.

The CN18 external power source is connected to the CN19 switch. Q61 is Off when the switch is turned On. Accordingly, the current that flows when the switch is turned on is supplied to the respective parts via the power thermistor (TH1). The power thermistor controls the input current with an in-line resistor (room temperature: 2.2 Ω). When the printer circuit begins to operate, GA (U30) output OUTH is HIGH, and Q61 goes On. This bypasses TH1.

The OUTH signal is connected to the RESET signal internally by the GA, causing TH1 to be bypassed when RESET is HIGH.

The power thermistor (TH1) has high resistance at room temperature, but the resistance value decreases with heat generated by current flow. The power thermistor immediately begins to heat up when 24V is turned on, but cools down when it is bypassed at the time the circuit begins to operate, regaining its high resistance. Accordingly, it controls the rush current when the power source is turned on again.

Malfunction Protective Circuit

This printer has the following three malfunction protection functions:

GA operation monitor

The CPU (U3) monitors GA clock oscillation. The CPU firmware reads a specific GA register at an arbitrary time, and compares that value with the value previously read. If the results of the comparison are different, the system is judged to be operating normally. The GA changes the register value using clock oscillation. Therefore, if it is operating normally, the register value continuously changes.

CPU operation monitor

CPU runaway causes a WDT (watch dog timer) overflow, resulting in output of LOW status from the CPU WDT output terminal. This is connected to the GA TIMI input terminal, and when the GA detects the LOW status for a certain time, it goes to the reset status and is not restored.

Mechanism malfunction monitor

When the thermal head becomes abnormally hot, the GA TIMI input terminal goes LOW, and the GA is reset and is not restored. The firmware judges this as a GA malfunction, and processes it as an unrecoverable error.

GA TIMI input terminal also goes LOW when the impact head becomes abnormally hot, causing the GA to go to the reset status, which will not be restored. The firmware judges this as a GA malfunction, and processes it as an unrecoverable error.

Reading MICR Characters On Personal Checks

To use the MICR function with personal checks (for printers with the factory-installed optional MICR reader), follow the steps below:

CAUTION: Do not insert checks with staples in them. This may cause paper jams, MICR reading errors, and damage to the MICR head.

Note:Be sure that the checks are flat, without curls, folds, or wrinkles.

1. Wait until the computer sends the FS a 0 command to the printer, causing it to enter the MICR mode. The SLIP light blinks.

2. Turn the check over so that it is face up with the MICR characters on the right side. The MICR characters must be next to the right edge of the paper inlet.

Figure I-16 Inserting a check

3. Insert the check straight into the paper inlet, using the right edge of the paper inlet as a guide.

4. Insert the check as far as it will go. The printer will detect the check and start drawing it in.

5. When the printer starts drawing it in, let go of the check immediately. Otherwise, the check may not be fed straight, and there could be a paper jam or a MICR reading error. The SLIP light quits blinking but stays on.

6. When printing and MICR reading are finished, the printer ejects the check and the SLIP light starts blinking again.

7. Remove the check by pulling it straight up; do not pull it at an angle. The SLIP light goes off.

Adjusting the Roll Paper Near End Detector

The paper near end detector detects when paper is almost gone by measuring the diameter of the paper roll. The detector has five settings. The factory setting (#5) leaves the least paper on the roll when the near-end sensor is triggered. If you want more paper on the roll when the sensor is triggered, choose one of the other settings, using the procedure below.

Note:Because of variations in paper roll cores, it is not possible for the detector to measure exactly the length of paper left on the roll when the detector is triggered.

1. Open the paper roll cover, and remove the paper roll.

2. Loosen the adjusting screw with a coin, and carefully move the detecting lever down. At the factory the lever is set at the highest position (#5). As you move the lever down through the five positions, you increase the amount of paper left on the roll when the near-end sensor is triggered.

Figure I-17 Adjustment screw and detecting lever

3. When you have moved the lever where you want it, tighten the adjusting screw, and check to be sure that the detecting lever moves freely.

4. Replace the paper roll.

Using the Control Panel

Most of the functions of this printer are governed by software, but you can monitor the printer’s status by looking at the lights on the control panel, and for some procedures you will use the buttons.

Control Panel

Figure I-18 Control panel

POWER

This light is on when the power is turned on.

ERROR

When this light is on but not blinking, it means that the printer is offline. Check to see if a cover is open. When this light is blinking, there is an error. If you see this light blinking, turn off the printer for a few seconds and then turn it back on. If the light is still blinking, see Chapter 1 Troubleshooting.

PAPER OUT

This light comes on when the printer is out or nearly out of roll paper. The printer has a paper end detector, and it also has a near-end detector (which can be adjusted) to warn you that the printer is nearly out of paper. See previous section if you want to adjust this detector.

This light blinks during the self-test printing standby state or macro execution standby state (when the macro execution command is used).

SLIP

This light blinks when the printer is ready to receive slip paper. It stays on during printing on slip paper and blinks again when slip paper should be removed.

Control Panel Buttons

The control panel has two paper buttons that you may have to use, although most paper handling functions will be handled by your software.

Addendum 1Maintenance of the TM-U675 Model with Paper Path Spacers (Validation/Slip Model)

EPSON provides an optional model of the TM-U675 for customers, such as banking and financial institutions, that want to use the slip and MICR functions of the printer without loading roll paper. This model contains two paper path spacers and special firmware on the main circuit board unit.

Information throughout the main part of this manual applies to the TM-U675 model that does not use these paper path spacers. This addendum explains only the differences for the TM-U675 model that uses paper path spacers.

When performing maintenance on the TM-U675 model that supports paper path spacers, use this addendum along with the main part of this manual.

For brevity, this addendum refers to the TM-U675 model that uses paper path spacers as the “PPSS model,” and it refers to the TM-U675 model that does not use paper path spacers as the “PPSUS model.”

Note that this model is called as the validation/slip model from sales point of view.

The contents of this addendum are shown below.
