2. PRINTER CONFIGURATION

2-1 Basic Configuration

This unit is composed of modules. The configuration is shown below.

TUP992-24/TUP992-24J1 (Thermal line unit printers)

Thermal mechanism module (TMP900 Series)

Presenter module (PR900 Series)

Control board module (TBD900 Series)

Power connector cable module (PBD-9)

Paper roll supply module

2-1-1 Thermal Mechanism Module

This is composed of the printer mechanism portion that prints using a thermal head while paper is being fed,

and an auto-cutter mechanism that cuts the paper by command.

2-1-2 Presenter Module

The presenter module is composed of a mechanism that discharges and that recovers paper (such as

receipts) that has been printed and cut by the thermal mechanism module.

2-1-3 Control Board Module

This is the control board that controls the thermal mechanism and the presenter.

2-1-4 Power Connector Cable Module

This is composed of the connector portion that connects the optional power adapter set to the control board,

and the power switch.

2-1-5 Paper Roll Supply Module

This supports the thermal paper roll on a shaft and functions to supply paper to the thermal mechanism

module. This is also provided a damper roller unit to alleviate the shock caused by the inertia of the paper

roll when feeding the thermal paper.
