(a) To connect or remove the connector, always turn off the power in
advance. If the connector is connected or removed while the
power to the printer is on, errors may occur.
(b) The connector of each cable must be correctly locked and
connected. The connector at the head side has no lock feature.
Check that the connector at the head side is completely inserted.
(c) To install the interface, carefully check each cable so that
excessive force is not applied to each cable. Especially, carefully
check the head connection cable because it affects the head
pressure force. If the print head connector is not completely
connected, overheating or burning may occur in the print head.

2.6 Serial Input/Output
If BUSY control is selected:
When 236 bytes of data have been stored in the input buffer, the
SBUSY signal becomes high to request that the computer temporarily
stop sending data. When the amount of data stored in the input buffer
becomes 235 bytes or less, the SBUSY signal changes to low to
request that the host device continue data transfer. Up to 16 bytes of
input data are guaranteed after the SBUSY signal has become high.
When an error occurs, the SBUSY signal becomes high. Data input is
prohibited until the error is cancelled.
If Xon/Xoff control is selected:
When 188 bytes of data has been stored in the input buffer, Xoff (1316)
is output through the TxD terminal to request that the host device
temporarily stops sending data. When the amount of data stored in the
input buffer becomes 124 bytes or less, Xon (1116) is output to request
that the computer continues data transfer. Up to 64 bytes of the input
data are guaranteed after
Xoff has been output. When an error occurs, the Xoff signal is output to
prohibit the data input.

PRN608-S
When the error is cancelled, Xon is output.
2.6.1 Serial data transfer
The PRN608-Stransfers various data other than the Xon and Xoff
codes which are output when controlling Xon and Xoff.
Regardless of whether the input mode is serial or parallel, the following
data is transferred through the TxD terminal.
(a) Error codes when a hardware error occurs at initialisation
(b) The data when executing the Vhead voltage response
(c) The data when the error status response is set and an error occurs
(d) The data when executing the execution response request
(e) The data when executing the remaining RAM capacity response
(DC2+‘r’)
(f) The data when executing the environmental temperature response
(DC2+‘t’)
At the selection of serial input, data (b) through (f) is transferred
according to the transfer conditions, which are set using the function
switches. However, the hardware error code (a) has the same
conditions as those for parallel input.
When transferring data, data control by SBUSY and Xon/Xoff is not
executed and the data is transferred with no conditions.
All of the transmission conditions of serial data transfer for sending
hardware error codes are fixed at the selection of parallel input as
follows:
2.6.1.1 Serial input/output port
Serial data output (TxD)
When Xon/Xoff control is selected, the Xon/Xoff signal is output.
Data is output according to the transmission conditions, which are
set by the function switches.
All response data is output.
Serial data input (RxD)
Data input port
Data is input from the host device according to the transmission
conditions, which are set using the function switches.
Serial busy (SBUSY)
Indicates whether or not the PRN608-S is ready to receive data.
When the SBUSY signal is low, data can be input.
When Xon/Xoff control is selected, SBUSY is always low.

PRN608-S
Error processing when receiving serial data
The PRN608-S receives and checks serial data according to the
transmission conditions.
When the PRN608-S has received one byte of data without errors, the
data is stored in the input buffer.
If there are any errors, the following data is stored in the input buffer
according to the type of error.
Error type Error code
Parity error (!: 2116)
Framing error (?: 3F16)
If the input data cannot be printed correctly and instead “!” or “?” is
printed, the transmission conditions between the host device and the
PRN608-S most likely does not match. If this happens, adjust the
conditions so that they match.
2.7 THERMAL HEAD CONTROL
Data Transfer to the Thermal Head
The PRN608-S transfers one dot line of data at 6 Mbps synchronized
with the CLOCK signal.
The data is transferred in order to the shift register inside the thermal
head from the left (when facing the paper feed direction).
The transferred data is then transferred by the head latch signal to the
latch register inside the thermal head. Turning on the head strobe
signal initiates printing of one dot line of data on the thermal paper.
2.7.1 Thermal Head Drive Operation
Generally, when the line thermal head is operating, the line is divided
into several blocks, which are activated one after another in
succession.
For the line thermal head of the FTP608 printer mechanism, the line is
divided into 7 blocks called physical blocks, 216, 288 or 416 dots with
each. A strobe signal (/ST1 to /ST7) is allocated to each physical block
to activate it. To drive the head, physical blocks are activated in groups.
The group of physical blocks is called a logical block.
For the PRN608-S either dynamic division or fixed division can be
selected as the method of division for logical blocks. This selection is
made through a function. See settings for more information.
2.7.2 Peak power limitation
The PRN608-S counts the number of dots activated in each physical
block and groups the physical blocks into logical blocks to print a single
28-03-2003 Page 2-13 of 53
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
PRN608-S
dot line so that the number does not exceed the specified maximum
number of activated dots. The PRN608-S determines logical blocks
each time it prints a single dot line.
In dynamic division, in order to avoid unclear printing, at the first step of
the motor the thermal head is driven and at the second step the paper
is fed.
Also, since the order of the printing blocks and printing speed are
changed in each dot line according to the content of the print data, print
quality may be lower than that in fixed division. If print quality is
regarded as important, printing in fixed division is recommended.
The maximum number of activated dots in the initialisation status is
specified using the function switches.
64 through 256 dots can, however, are set using the command for
setting the number of dynamic division dots.
When the maximum number of activated dots is 128 dots, and all of the
dots are driven, as shown in
2.7.3 Head Control Circuit
The PRN608-S has a function for measuring the resistance of the
thermal head connected to the FTP608.
The PRN608-S measures the resistance of the thermal head and
detects the errors at initialisation.
Based on the measurement, the PRN608-S determines how much
energy to apply. No adjustment is needed for replacing the FTP608 to
get the best printing.
2.7.4 Head temperature measurement circuit
The thermistor is mounted on the FTP608 to measure the temperature
of the thermal head.
The PRN608-S determines the energy to be applied to the head and
also checks for head temperature errors.
If the temperature of the thermal head is -10 °C or lower, or 80 °C or
higher, the PRN608-S stops driving and puts the printer in head
temperature error status. If the temperature of the thermal head is
returned to from -5 °C to 75 °C, the printer goes to printable status.
2.7.5 Vhead interrupt circuit
This circuit interrupts Vhead to prevent electrolytic corrosion of the
thermal head and to enable the detection of the resistance mentioned
above.

PRN608-S
Electrolytic corrosion may significantly shorten the life of the thermal
head. Thermal paper ordinarily contains electrolytic material to prevent
sheets from sticking to each other due to static electricity. If there is too
much of this electrolytic material, high temperatures and humidity cause
the material to ionise, resulting in electrolytic corrosion of the thermal
head.
The PRN608-S turns the FET off and breaks the Vhead applied to the
thermal head during waiting status to prevent electrolysis corrosion of
the thermal head.

[Description] When the printer controller receives a byte that is –Y to
–2 (Decimal 256-Y to 254) the following data is
compressed data. The number of compressed graphic
bytes is the negative value.
This means:
If Y = -10 (Decimal 246) the next 10 bytes is
compressed data.
The compressed data is as follows.
When a data byte is 0 (no dots activated) the next byte
received is the number of bytes that are 0. All other
data is send as non compressed.
A very few lines cannot be compressed. These will if
you try to compress them be longer than the non-
compressed line. These must therefore be send as
non-compressed data.

The paper near end status, can be seen on the LED on the aux
connector, it can be reading through the status command, and if a
driver is used, then it can be reading in the port monitor: If paper jam is
used, then will the printer stop printing if this signal is going low, the
value of this bit can be seen on the LED on the aux output connector, it
can be reading by a status request, or if a driver is used, then it can be
reading by the port monitor
The paper near end and paper jam is indicated on LED at the AUX
connector CN4. The status of these bits can also be read with a
response on a status request. If a driver is used, then the status can
also be read in the print monitor. If paper jam sensor is activated
printing will stop until paper jam sensor is deactivated. The LED will
show these conditions.

0 Head temperature OK Too high or too low
1 Head-up No Yes
2 Paper out No Yes
3 Power supply OK Too high or too low
4 Printer in use Ready Action in progress
5 On/Off line Off On
6 Hole/Mark detection Error No Too short, too long or not found
7 Cutter failure Yes No
This command is executed immediately after being received, even in
case of a full buffer
(DTR/RTS, Xoff or Busy active). Host must disable the handshaking
controls to send the ESC v
command.
When using the parallel port, the software continuously updates PE
signal. To read the
status byte, use the Byte Mode (Parallel communication) as described
in section 3.4.2, after
having sent the ESC v command.
