6. EE-PROM Mode
6-1. Outline
The settings described below can be changed if data is written to the EE-PROM on the main logic board.
The mode for writing to the EE-PROM is designed for use by maintenance workers, not for use by the general user.
In addition, this mode is subject to change without prior notice.
• EDS (Electric DIP Switch) settings

• Misalignment correction
• Top margin in auto-loading
• Allowable distance of paper out detector
(1) Setting method

There are the following two methods to set the EE-PROM mode
a. Power the printer ON while ON LINE and PAPER FEED switches are held pressed.
b. If the printer has already been powered ON, send <ESC><SUB> (09)H command.
(2) Canceling method
There are the following two methods to cancel this mode.
a. Power the printer OFF.
b. Initialize the printer by sending <ESC> “@” command.
6-2. Explanation of Special Control Codes

The control codes shown below are provided for use in writing to the EE-PROM.
<ESC> @ : The printer exits from EE-PROM mode and is initialized.

<ESC> M @ : All data in the EE-PROM are changed to factory settings.
After the buffer is cleared, the buzzer sounds.
If the printer is powered off the before buzzer sounds, all data in the buffer is not cleared.
Since the data values are regarded as illegal ones, the operation in this case is not guaranteed.
<ESC> M W n :
Function Address Capacity

<ESC> M W 0 <data> Store data into whole area of 00H - 7FH 128 bytes
EE-PROM.
<ESC> M W 1 n m Store data (m) into the ad- nH 1 byte
dress (n).
<ESC> M W 2 <data> Store Auto-start software 2AH-54H 42 bytes
data into EE-PROM. 55H-7DH 42 bytes
• The data (m) following the above commands are stored in the specified address in order (n).
• When the data to be stored exceeds specified capacity, the subsequent data are ignored.
• Data are stored in EE-PROM according to memory map.
• After all data are stored, a beep indicates the finish of storage.
• If the printer is powered off during data storage, the data which have already been stored are
valid but the subsequent operation is not guaranteed.
<ESC> M R : Print all data in EE-PROM in hex dump.
An example of the use of this control code is described in section 6-4. The corresponding EE-PROM addresses may be
found in the EE-PROM memory map in section 6-3.

4. Mechanism
4-1. Print Head Mechanism
The print head consists of 9 needle wires and 9 print solenoids.
The following explains how each needle wire operates during printing.
(1) When the print solenoid is energized, the clapper is attracted by the iron core and the needle wire is driven toward
the platen.

1. Maintenance
In order to maintain the optimum performance of this printer and to prevent trouble, maintenance must be carried out
according to the following items.
1-1. Cleaning
(1) Removal of dirt
Wipe off dirt with a soft cloth soaked in alcohol or benzine.
Note: Do not use thinner, trichlene or ketone solvents because they may damage plastic parts. Also during
cleaning, be careful not to moisten or damage electronic parts, wiring, or mechanical parts.
(2) Removal of dust, pile, etc.
Vacuum cleaning (with an electric cleaner) is preferred. Remove all dust, etc., inside the printer.
Note: After cleaning, check the oil level. If it is not adequate due to cleaning, replenish it.
1-2. Checks
Checks must be carried out at two levels: a “daily check” which the operator can easily carry out during operation, and
a “periodic check” which an expert should carry out.
(1) Daily check
When the printer is used on a daily basis, check that the printer is used properly. Make sure that the printer is
operating under the best conditions.
• Is any paper stuck in the paper box or printer case?
• Is the cartridge ribbon set at the right position?
• Is there any foreign matter inside the printer? (Remove if any.)
• Is the print head getting excessively dirty?
(2) Periodic check
After 6 months or printing 1 million lines, the periodic check and lubrication must be carried out.
• Check for deformation of springs.
• Check the gap between the platen and the print head.
• Remove dust, dirt, etc., around the detectors.
– 41 –
2. Lubrication
Lubrication is very important to maintain optimum performance and to prevent trouble.
2-1. Lubricant
The type of lubricant greatly affects the performance and durability of the printer, especially in a low temperature
environment. We recommend use of the grease and lubrication oils listed below for this printer
Product name Maker
FLOIL GB-TS-0 and FLOIL GB-100 Kanto Chemicals Co., Ltd.
KF96-1000CS and KF96-SP Shinetsu Chemical Industry
Mobil 1 Mobil oil
2-2. Lubricating Method

When lubrication is carried out in assembly and disassembly, wash parts well to remove dust and dirt before lubrication.
Lubrication must be carried out regularly once every 6 months or after 1 million lines have been printed. Lubrication is
necessary irrespective of the regular lubrication whenever lubricant becomes deficient after cleaning or whenever parts
have been disassembled or replaced.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Troubleshooting Procedures
Troubleshooting is never easy because various problems arise depending upon the particular location of the breakdown.
The following procedures should be taken in making repairs.
(1) The first method is to make repairs through unit replacements. The two display codes appearing in the flow chart
are defined as follows: 1) indicates main logic board replacement; and 2) indicates printer mechanism replacement,
to be carried out if the problem has not been corrected.
1) Main Logic Board Replacement

2) Printer Mechanism Replacement
Check again at this time whether the replaced unit is malfunctioning. (This is done to rule out trouble caused by improper
contact of connectors.)
Replaceable units consist of the following:
• Power supply unit
• Main logic board
• Printer mechanism
• Control panel board
In replacing these units, always refer to the unit replacement priority chart.
(2) The second method is to make repairs by parts replacement to replace defective elements inside a particular unit.
(Note 1) Before starting to repair, be sure to check visually the contact of the connector and the mounting of the IC in
the IC socket.
(Note 2) Always turn off power source and remove power plug before replacing any units or parts.
(Note 3) All check items shown in the flow chart must be checked. Otherwise, newly mounted parts or units may become
damaged.
(Note 4) If, in the process of making repairs, there is any confusion about proper procedures, restart the job from the
beginning.
(Note 5) Be careful to avoid injury from static electricity when handling ICs and main logic board.
