3.5 Print Timing

This printer uses a timing signal of 1 as the total number of pulses to control the solenoid and motor. The numbering of Tn of the timing signal 1 is found as shown below. The first timing signal 2 after the rise of the home position signal is detected and the fall of the first timing signal 1 after the rise of timing signal 2 is set as T-1. The subsequent timing signal falls are set as T0, T1 and T2.

You should be careful of the following points concerning this print timing.

There is a minimum of 2 pulses for the timing signal 1 for electrical cycles for the same pin. Therefore, you cannot energize Tn, Tn+1 using the same pin.
