Citizen Systems CBM-910 manual Paper-Near-End, Mechanical Alarm, Memory Error

7.BUSY (Busy signal clear timing) [*Standard, CBM-910] *1

Selects the clear timing of Busy signal for parallel I/F. Standard: Clears after confirming the rise of STB signal. CBM-910: Clears after completing data storage to input buffer.

8.Buffer

[*2k bytes, 72 bytes]

Select buffer size for serial I/F model.

*1: For ACK timing and Busy timing, only setting the parallel board is available.

4.7Paper-Near-End, Mechanical Alarm, Memory Error

(1)Paper-near-end

Printing paper shortage is detected and informed with SEL lamp blinking at 0.5- second intervals, where printing is suspended. At this time, power supply to the motor and printing solenoid is stopped with BUSY signals output in the host computer. To recover from Paper-near-end state, set new paper and press SEL switch twice. LF functions normally. By pressing SEL switch twice, you can print, without changing paper, data for one-line input buffer on the remaining page.

(2)Mechanical alarm

On occurrence of locked motor, any kind of trouble in the mechanism is suspected. Power supply to the motor and printing solenoid is stopped and BUSY signals are output in the host computer. SEL lamp is then blinked at 1/4-second intervals. To recover from alarm state, eliminate the trouble cause and press SEL switch twice. If it is in the course of printing, printing is started at the beginning of the interrupted line. (Content of the input buffer is still held.) However, this dose not apply to a case where power has been cut due to a severe trouble.

(3)Memory error

This error is developed when any abnormality is detected by the self-diagnosis of memory by the CPU when the equipment is powered on. A BUSY signal is output to the host causing the POWER lamp and SEL lamp to blink simultaneously at 1/10-second intervals. This error is an unrecoverable error. Turn the equipment power off and contact your CITIZEN SYSTEMS dealer.

(4)Memory switch setting error

This error is developed when any abnormality is detected in the setting of memory switch when the equipment is powered on.

The alarm causes the POWER lamp to blink at 1/10-second intervals. This error is recovered by resetting the memory setting with a command and turning the equipment power on again.
