Introduction
1 Introduction
The Matrix Printers have been developed for professional applications in all
environments. They meet the highest possible technical standards, and with proper
use, they should provide many years of trouble-free operation.
High-performance print qualities as well as operation with fanfold paper and cut
sheets from front can be chosen.
The following print qualities are available:
High Speed Draft Print Quality (HSQ)

Copy Draft Print Quality (DPQ Copy)

Set of forms Sets of forms may be used only if the top edge is
bound. The binding edge should be as soft as
possible. A wavy binding edge may hamper the
smooth feeding of these sets. Multi-part forms have
to be inserted with the glued top facing down.
Multi-part forms should be tested for suitability.
Paper quality Light pulp paper of medium fine quality, paper
bearing the quality mark SM Post and photocopy
paper are suitable for use. Unsuitable are:
satin-finish or coated papers, imitation art papers,
and embossed papers.
Since paper as natural material reacts strongly to
environmental influences (e.g. humidity,
temperature), the place of storage should be
selected carefully. We recommend that this kind of
paper should be tested extensively before larger
quantities are acquired.
Should papers with a dark reverse side be used,
these should also be tested for their functionality.
Please pay attention to the use of infrared reflecting
colors, when acquiring these papers.

3.1
General
3.1.1
Printhead The printhead is rated to more than 300.000 standard pages. The printer is
economical too: 12.000 standard letters are printed with one ribbon.
With our own word-wide patented 24 needle technology the printer also in speed
reaches the top region of its class, with its noise level being in the lower range. The
printer practically operates in conjunction with all known computer systems and
standard software.
3.1.2
Power Supply The power supply may be switched by the user externally from 120 V to 230 V. A
fuse (T4,00AH250V, UL) is provided to protect the power supply from hazardous
damages. It can be replaced without opening the printer.
3.1.3
Ribbon The quality of the printout is dependent on the quality of the ribbon. Therefore the
ribbon as well as the printhead are very important parts of your printer.
A used ribbon cannot deliver a satisfactory printout. To achive a long life duration for
the ribbon always use it in its full width. This will be achived by moving the ribbon up
and down during printing and rotating the ribbon in the infinite end ribbon cassette.
The ribbon is therefore satisfactory used and reaches a long life time.
With a color printer you must decide if a color ribbon for a color printout or a mono-
chrome ribbon for a one color printout is to be used.
In the first case the color ribbon, which can have up to four tracks, is vertically moved
in four steps in relation to the printhead, depending on the selected color.
If you want to achive a monochrome printout with a color printer, you should use a
monochrom ribbon and set the parameter black in the Setup menu Color Opt..
The firmware moves the color ribbon, simular to a standard printer, in four vertical
levels. Because of this electrical control the monochrom ribbon is optimally used by a
color printer.
Mono ribbon 4 color ribbon
black track 4 yellow
black track 3 magenta

General Functional Description
3.1.4
Data Transfer The main difference between the serial and parallel interface is the form in which the
data bytes are transfered. The serial interface transfers bits in a row, one after the
other. Theoretically you only need three connections for this form of data transfer. In
the parallel interface the data transfer of the 8 bits (1 byte) is completed
simultaneously through 8 parallel connections. At least 11 connections between the
computer and the printer are necessary for this procedure.
With the parallel Centronics interface data up to 100.000 bytes /seconds theoretically
can be transfered. Actual the printer opperates with a maximum transfer frequency of
approx. 30.000 bytes/second. This Data Flow, depending on the adjustment of the
input buffer (0-128 KB) on your printer, can be temporarily stored.
3.1.5
Monitoring The most important functions are monitored with sensors, microswitches and
electrical monitoring circuits. These are constantly checked, processed by an internal
logic and indicated on the display.
To prevent an overheating of the printhead, 12 coils of the 24 electromagnets are

monitored. If the temperature reaches a value above 130 C the speed of the printer
is automatically slowed down. As soon as the printhead has cooled the printer works
with high speed again.
If a coil becomes defective, this is recognized by the firmware and shown on the
display (Head defect, THS Error, Head Hot permanently).
For safety reasons the top cover is also monitored. If you should open the top cover
during printing operation, then the printout is momentary stopped (to avoid injuries).
When you close the cover again the printout is continued without loss of data.

Head/Platen The worm gear (see principle drawing) determine the basic head distance. You can
Clearance imagine the worm gear as a mechanical memory. During initialisation (power up) of
the printer the head distance stepper moves the toothed segment on block at the
worm gear. Now the printer has its basic point and can count the steps forward which
are stored in the firmware. The stepper tolerance is within one bit pattern (equals 4
steps).

How to test the printers There is the possibility to run a test procedure without line voltage. To perform this
function without Mains run following steps:
Input
Disconnect printer from outlet and switch printer off
Give DC Voltage (33 V) to jumpers connector x4 on the main board.
If you supply the logic with 1 A DC you are able to handle the panel, the motors
and the printhead (only moves)
If you supply the logic with 3 A DC you are able to make self test printout (e.g.
ASCII tree; no graphic printing please), also.
Described steps have to be carried out very carefully.

Bidirectional
Centronics
Interface 1. Overview
This SIDM printer is equipped with a parallel Centronics interface which is located on
the main electronic pcb. The data transfer handshake (with some smaller exceptions)
has been implemented according IEEE1284 standard. Up to now (13.12.95) only the
Nibble Mode was implemented (Bytemode, ECP-Mode and EEP mode may follow
later per request). The Nibble Mode has been adapted to meet the requirements
Microsoft Windows (TM) Operating System which does a printer identification using
PlugnPlay. A graphical schematic is shown in the IEEE1284 standard picture 3,
page 25 and picture 9, page 35.
2 Detailed description of data transfer in Nibble Mode
The transmission of printer identification is divided into two parts. In the first phase
there is a negotiation between PC and printer to activate Nibble Mode. In the
second phase there is a data transfer. At the end of each phase there is a reentry to
to the normal Centronics mode according a defined handshake procedure. The name
Nibble Mode in this case means that the transmission is performed in two packages
per 4 bit in direction to the PC using existing control lines (bit 0/4=Error, Bit
1/5=Select, Bit 2/6=Paper-End, Bit 3/7=Busy). All other possible modes are using the
8 standard data lines - now in the opposite direction (printer - PC)
2.1 Phase 1, Negotiation phase
Procedure
The PC sets SELECTIN to high and at the same time AUTOFEED to low.
The printer reacts within 35ms with SELECT, ERROR and PAPEREND to high
but DONE to low
PC transmits one data byte to the printer with a STROBE signal and sets
AUTOFEED to high
This byte will be analyzed by the printer. If all seems to be ok this byte should be
00hex witch means the PC likes to know whether or not the printer is supporting
Nibble Mode.
Since the printer is able to run Nibble Mode the printer answers then with
SELECT, ERROR and PAPEREND to low. To create an interrupt at PC side,
DONE will be set to high at the end.
Now the termination of the negotiation phase will be done by setting SELECTIN
to low.
As a result the printer is setting SELECT and BUSY to high and after a short
delay also SELECTIN to low.
As a reaction AUTOFEED is set to low at PC side.
The printer is now setting ERROR and SELECT in normal Centronics mode
according the actual state and after that DONE is changed back again to high.
PC should react then setting AUTOFEED signal to high
As the very end of this negotiation phase the printer sets BUSY and DONE in
normal
Centronics mode according the actual state.
Now everything is in normal state.
3-22
2.2 Phase 2, Data transmission phase

This phase is activated even after phase 1. A string of characters is transferred from
the printer to the PC, which immediately describes the printer type, the manufacturer,
the device class and some sort of compatibility.
Procedure
SELECTIN and AUTOFEED are set to low by the PC at the same time
Within 35 ms the printer reacts with SELECT, ERROR, PAPEREND and DONE
set to low.
PC transmits one Byte with a STROBE pulse and sets AUTOFEED to high
This byte will be analyzed by the printer. If everything was ok the byte should be
04hex which means that PC is demanding the identification of the printer in
Nibble Mode. The printer agrees setting PAPEREND to low and DONE to high.
PC answers setting AUTOFEED to low.
Now the initial procedure starts by sending the characters. The string is built up
in a way that the first two bytes are indicating the total length of the string
(including the first two counter bytes). MSB first then LSB is transmitted followed
by the characters.
Each byte starts by putting bits 0 - 3 to the control signals (see above).
This Nibble (half - byte) is released setting DONE to low.
The acknowledge of PC is done by setting AUTOFEED to high.
As soon the printer recognizes the acknowledge DONE is put back to high.
As a result the PC sets AUTOFEED back to low.
Now bits 4 - 7 are sent using the signal lines.
This Nibble (half - byte) is released setting DONE to low.
The acknowledge of PC is done once more by setting AUTOFEED to high.
As long as there are data to be transmitted the printer sets now PAPEREND,
ERROR, SELECT and BUSY to low and DONE once more to high.
The acknowledge of the PC is performed by setting AUTOFEED to low.
Now the next nibble can be sent and the procedure is repeated.
If there are no more data to be transferred after the last Nibble (half - byte) the
printer is setting ERROR to high, SELECT, PAPEREND and BUSY to low.
This will be release setting DONE to high.
Now the termination of the data transmission phase is starting. The PC sets
SELECTIN signal to low.
The printer reacts different than in the negotiation phase - with SELECT set to
low, BUSY set to high and - after a short delay - DONE set to low.
The printer is setting ERROR and SELECT according to the actual status in
normal Centronics mode and after that DONE back to high.
PC reacts setting AUTOFEED to high.
At the very end of the data transmission phase the printer sets BUSY and DONE
according to the actual state in normal Centronics mode.
Now everything is in normal state again and the transmission of the printer
identification is completed.

General infomation This printer has a bi-directional parallel Centronics type interface (according
about external IEEE1284) which is mounted on the printers main board. As an option, the plug-in
interfaces interfaces of other pay be used. E.g. if someone wants to use an (optional) RS232
(V24) I/O he has to use the combined MT3x0 serial/parallel I/O. Since this I/O also
has an on-board Centronics type interface the built in interface must be switched off.
(Please consider that there are interfaces without a parallel interface; i.e. TTY,
RS422. Using this kind of interfaces will not switch off the bi-directional I/O.)
If an additional parallel I/O is added, it is mandatory to disable the internal CX
I/O on the main board, so that only the plugged-in parallel I/Os will be active.
Otherwise the printer will misread data on the parallel data lines.
A shared serial/parallel (RS232(CX) I/O is possible, but two parallel I/Os are not
allowed. To avoid this the CPU of this printer is monitoring a signal at the connector
for external I/Os to determine the presence of an additional to the standard parallel
I/O on the main board. The signals name is PT0, it can be found at Pin 15 A of the
external I/O connector. Please refer to the following table to determine the function of
PT0:
PTO in Volts Meaning

< 1.8 Volt the internal parallel (CX) I/O will be used
> 1.8 Volt 2.5 < 3.0 Volt the external parallel I/O will be used*
> 4.5 Volt the internal parallel (CX) I/O will be used
* Please consider that the external parallel interface may not support IEEE1284 (plugnplay).
Possible modification of existing and future external I/Os with own parallel interface:

3.3.3.2
Shared Interface Your printer can be configured in such a way, so that it uses only one interface or
both alternatively. If only one interface is used, this is only monitored by the printer.
If the printer is configured in such a way that both interfaces are used simultaneously,
it alternately accesses the interfaces to see whether there are any incoming data. If
the printer recognises a signal, it switches to the corresponding interface and sends
the ACTIVE signal to the other one. After data transmission has been completed,
the printer remains assigned to the interface for as certain period of time (hold time:
30 s). After this period has elapsed, the printer clears the buffer and the procedure
begins anew. If after this the current position is not at Top of Form a Form Feed will
be carried out.
CX
The parallel section is controlled by the main logic, only I/O Drivers (7407, 74244) are
necessary. Please see also section 3.3.3.1 General Information.
RS232C / V 24
The serial part is controlled by the main logic only I/O Drivers (L 232 50P) are
necessary. They convert 5 V Input signals to RS232 Standard voltage (-12/+12 V).
Several jumpers are prepared to customize the interface.

Printhead There are two different printheads available:
NDK9/24 (approx. 1800 Hz max)

NDK11/24 (approx. 2400 Hz max)
This modern ballistic printhead is driven by the needle driver section on the main
board (FT5763M, signals N1xN24x).
The needle control is performed by the PPU96 (47537).
General:
The system to shoot a needle is activated by a current through a coil of the system.
One end of each coil of the needle magnet is connected to the voltage UN (+33) V
via the head cable. The return lines of the other ends of the coils are connected to
the needle drivers of the driver board. In the needle driver chip; controlled by the
program; the return lines are connected for a short time to GND. If the expected
needle current is reached the current will be chopped by hardware control.

Additional fonts At the Main Board there is a possibility to load additional fonts (up to 8 MB depending
on printer type). They are accessable by means of ESC-Sequences and by using the
printers menu. It makes sense to put different fonts together in one Eprom.
The following list includes all the character sets you can select from the control panel
or via ESC sequences and specifies the fonts in which they are available.
The character sets are only available in the fonts marked with an X. They can be
selected via the menu or by means of ESC ( <n> printer control sequences and, in
the EPSON emulation, also by ESC R.

Theory of The resistance of each coil of the printhead is proportional to its internal temperature.
Adjusting Print- The temperature will change almost linear to the measured coil resistance. The
head Temperature resistance is measured continuously. Therefore it is possible to monitor the printhead
for highest performance but to protect it in case of overheating. This control system
T2170 and T2280 must be adjusted once in case of changing printhead or at changing main electronic
only (see chapter 6.3.1).
Used formula: R = Rt2 (1 + )
= Temperature
R = Resistance
1
= 3,95 10-3
K
= Difference of Temperature (t1 - t2)
t1 = calculated temperature
t2 = adjust temperature
Example: The printhead was adjusted by 20C (t2).

The measured resistance was 5 (Rt2).
We want calculate the temperature (t1) at 7 (R).

= 102C

Loading Firmware (principle) Functional Description
3.4
Loading Firmware In the very first beginning a Firmware is released by development. After that the
(principle) Alpha test will check the firmware in a Flash controller. Since Eprom controller are
not supported only the Flash version will be checked and released by Alpha test
department. Afterwards the firmware will be distributed via Competence Center in
form of a FLASH File (for flash memory) and mostly as a BINARY file (for eprom).
A never initialized FlashMemory has to be burned once then the Bootstrap-Loader is
resident in the memory. From then on the Memory is ready to being flashed.
(Character set) needs not to be initialized first since the bootstrap loader remains in
the firmware socket).
Please see a chart which intends to clear up the actual situation:

4.1
Test Functions In order to test whether your printer is functioning properly, you can choose from a
selection of different test functions. With these tests you can check print quality,
function of the printhead and mechanism as well as data transfer from computer to
printer.
To enter the test mode of the printer, keep the ON LINE button depressed while
turning on the printer. Keep the button depressed until the printer emits a short
acoustic signal.
The test menu offers you three test functions, one adjustment function and five
special settings which are described in the in the operators manual.

Test Functions Testmodes and Troubleshooting
Note:
The printer is equipped with the option of locking the menu, for example to prevent
others from accessing it. You can do this using the MenLock parameter from within
the menu itself. (The MenLock parameter is described in detail in the menu
description table of the Operators Manual). You can access a locked menu by
switching on the printer while simultaneously pressing the SETUP button
4.1.1
ASCII Tree With the ASCII tree test you can test whether your printer is functioning properly
(independently from your computer). You can select either 80 or 136 characters per
line. For example, you can interrupt the test if you want to change the line density by
pressing the On line button. To exit the ASCII test, the printer must be turned off.
Example for an ASCII test printout
4.1.2
Interfacetest
(Hex-Dump) With the interface test (hex-dump) you can check data transfer from computer to
printer. The text which is being transmitted to the printer is printed in two parts.
In the left part the text is printed in hexadecimal format, and in the right in ASCII
format.
Example for a hex-dump test printout

Testmodes and Troubleshooting Display Message Hardware Alarm
4.6
Display Message To analyse failures much more easier, an extended failure report has been
Hardware Alarm implemented. The messages described below will only occur in Hardware Alarm
state.
If this message occures the printer must be repaired before switching on again.
Please take care about the fact that in Hardware Alarm state the power voltage is
switched off to avoid further damages. Please read also chapter 4.6 Monitoring of
printhead.
1. Display (Example)
Hardware alarm alternative display +000000 131

000002 xx 000482
2. Meaning of the Messages
Actual Position Head Clearance Head Temperature

Taskcontrol Desired Position
3. Legend
Actual Position Horizontal position of the printhead while error occurs

min. value = 0; (physical left margin)
max. value should be approx. 1730; (physical right margin)
Desired Position Horizontal Position the printhead tried to achieve
Head Clearance Relative printhead clearance while error occured
Head Temperature Current head temperature
Taskcontrol Error code (see item 6)
4. Interpretation of the example
Actual Position =0 (left margin)

Desired Position = 482
Head Clearance = 131 (relative position)
Head Temperature = - - - (below range of measuring = head cold)
Task control = 002 (horizontal task, motor accelerate)
5. Analysis
The Desired Position and the Actual Position should be identical or close together.
By moving the printhead the function of the horizontal timing belt can be tested
(value of Actual Position is changing). The value of the head clearance is always a
desired position since there is no response of actual head clearance. Default
standard = 18; AGA = rel. position; max. value = 131 (i.e. after Initializing resp. power
on).
Please analyse Task Control Code using the table on the next page.

9.2
Functional
Description The face down option is an additional module which can be used in connection with
the automatic sheet feeder as well as with the manual paper insertion at the front of
the printer.
It offers the advantage that sorting of a multiple page document can be neglected, as
the printed sheets are deposited in the correct order from the bottom to the top.
The paper capacity of the face down option amounts to approx. 150 single sheets.
It can be activated and deactivated by simply tilting it.
