2.3.2 Operating Principles of the Main Control Circuit
The main control circuit of this printer is the C137 MAIN board. This circuit is controlled by the16-bit CPU H8/3003 (ICI), running at 14.7456 MHz. This CPU has a unique architecture capable ofhandling data on the data bus at either an 8-bit or 16-bit bus width. Because of this, a 16-bit or 8-bitdata bus width-type ROM is used on this board, increasing the internal processing speed. Also, theCPU has a unique architecture capable of the refresh control function. A 4M D-RAM (2CASmethod) on this board is controlled by the CPU itself. The CPU controls the serial interface control(RS-422 for Mac).Gate array E05A96 (IC2) manages
printhead
drive control, external Centronics@ parallel I/F,extension CG board and the control panel, and the controls that create the 4-bit signal for thecarriage or the paper feed motor. (The carriage and paper feed motor are controlled by the currentduty data.)This board is also equipped with EEPROM 93C46 (IC12) to store certain parameters, such as theprinter mechanism control parameter, default setting parameters, as well as a special counter valueused for
printhead
(ink management) protection.The timer IC NJU6355E (IC7) counts each time the printer is cleaned and keeps track of how longthe printer is not used, thereby allowing the printer to be cleared only when necessary.
