PRN608-S thermal printer connector on the PCB. 1 Mounting hole is grounded. See drawing for more details. (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 insta

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 an

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 (!: 21 ) 16 Framing error (?: 3F ) 16 If the input data cannot be printed correctly and instead “!” or “

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 b

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 t
