Advanced Printing Systems 1. INTRODUCTION The SS205-V4+ LV (Super small 205, version 4+, high speed) is a new improved version of latest SS205-V4 optimized for low cost application. It is also compatible with SS205-V3. The SS205-V4+ LV printer has been designed to be the smallest, wide voltage range (from 3.0V to 9.5V), and high efficiency easy loading printer on its market.

- If the print cycle is less than that the one indicated above, then the maximum supply energy value is decreased. For these applications, please contact APS for further information. - When using low energy paper, please contact A.P.S. for more information.

In this case, clean the print-head with a soft applicator and alcohol. Do not use sandpaper as this will destroy the heating elements. For same reasons, avoid using printer in dusty SS205-V4+ LV - Technical Manual - Rev B...
At power up make sure that logic voltage (Vdd) is present simultaneously or before VH. At power down make sure that VH is at 0 V before removing logic voltage. Do not apply any pulse noise exceeding [2V. 20 ns] to any TPH signal terminals. SS205-V4+ LV - Technical Manual - Rev B...
For good print quality, it is advised to keep the current into the windings between two successive dot-lines. It is also recommended to have a few dot lines not printed at motor start to avoid print compression effect due to play take-up into gear box. SS205-V4+ LV - Technical Manual - Rev B Page 13...
There is no duty cycle limitation when using the current control (250mA). With current control, the max speed is ~100mm/s when the current is 300mA and acceleration curve as below. SS205-V4+ LV - Technical Manual - Rev B Page 14...
Then MaxPS will be 0.125 / 2 = 62.6mm/s (>MaxPFS). So, real print speed will be 35 mm/s. Print speed can be dynamically adjusted, depending on the dot line to be printed. SS205-V4+ LV - Technical Manual - Rev B...

The printer has to be fixed using its own points as described on the overall dimensions drawing, avoid any kind of deformation or torsion, if not, printing quality and printer's life will be drastically reduced. SS205-V4+ LV - Technical Manual - Rev B...
