7-7 Thermal Printer Circuit

The operating method of the thermal printer is similar to the VFD operating method. First, the CPU send a Serial Clock
and Serial Data 384Bits(48 Bytes) to the Thermal Printer. The Serial Data are stored to a Shift Register in the Thermal
Printer. Second, the CPU send a Latch Signal to the Thermal Printer. Then, the Serial Data are stored to the Latch Register.
After that, the CPU send a Strobe Signal to the Thermal Printer. Then, the Printer outputs the Serial Data. The Strobe
Signals (STB1,STB2,STB3) are shorted each other on Main PBA (Same STB4,STB5,STB6).
