PRECAUTIONS
To prevent damage of the thermal head caused by static electricity when assembling the chassis ass'y into
the unit, the following steps must be followed;
1 : Turn the power switch off.
2 : Discharge the capacitor C5(2200µF) on the PCB Z556-1.
3 : Connect the FPC of chassis ass'y into
a connector CN4 of PCB Z556-1.
4 : Assemble the chassis ass'y.
5 : Turn the power switch on.
ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment of low battery detection circuit
To adjust the threshold voltage of the low battery detection circuit, the following steps must be followed;
1 : Apply 9V to the battery terminals.
2 : Press ON while holding down 3 keys
SET, RETURN and FUNCTION.
(Start Diagnostic Program)
3 : Press 7.(Apply the voltage Vp for printer)
4 : Apply the voltage with a power
supply so that the voltage at the
collector of Q1 is 6.2V+0.1 / -0V.
5 : Adjust a pot VR1 so that the voltage
between pin-8 of IC4 and pin-5 of
IC3 is 0 +/-0.01V.
Setting the thermal head rank
Set the thermal head rank with pads RNK1 and RNK2 on the PCB L271-1 according to the following conditions
when replacing the chassis ass'y or thermal head. The head rank is indicated on FPC as following figure-6.
Head rank A : RNK1=SHORT, RNK2=OPEN
Head rank B : RNK1=OPEN,
Head rank C : RNK1=OPEN,
Head rank D : RNK1=SHORT, RNK2=SHORT
