SECTION 1
HANDLING & MAINTENANCE OF PRINTER
1.1 Precautions for Handling

1-1-1 Precautions for Use (1) It is prohibited to do idle printing when no printing paper and ink ribbon are set. Idle printing damages a printing head and a platen surface and reduces printing quality and service life. (2) Do not manually move the printing head to the right and left. Since a belt to drive printing head is directly connected to a gear train, an overload is applied to the belt and a carriage drive pipe and causes timing dislocation, etc. (3) Since this machine uses a permanent magnet (motor) and an electromagnet, do not use it where there is much iron powder or dust. (4) There is a printed circuit board located at the bottom of the printer. See to it that the board does not contact the case, or that no foreign substance adheres to it. 1-1-2 Precautions for Storage (1) Do not store the printer at a dusty place and under a high temperature and humidity.
1.2 Setting the Printing Paper

Use our specified printing paper. 1-2-1 Preparing the Paper End Cut a paper end flat. (See the figure below.) When the printing paper is not easily caught by a paper feed roller, fold its end double.
1-2-2 Setting the Roll Paper Set as shown in the figure below.
1-2-3 Setting the Sprocket Paper Pull a knob outward, turn it manually and set sprocket paper. Pulling the knob outward allows a sprocket to be freely rotated.
1-2-4 Taking out the Printing Paper from the Printer Be sure to take out the printing paper in one of the following manners: (1) Pull out the paper upward. (F type only) Note) Do not pull the paper obliquely, because it may cause paper jamming. Be sure to pull it toward right above.
(2) When a paper feed knob is installed, turn the knob to take out the paper after freeing a shaft by pulling the knob. (Both directions are allowed in this case) (3) Take out the paper through electrical operation (by turning on the power and pressing the Paper Feed button).
1.3 Precautions for Using the Ribbon Cartridge

Use a specified ribbon cartridge. When an out-of-standard ribbon cartridge is used, it may cause malfunction of wire, deterioration of printing quality, etc. 1-3-1 Setting the Ribbon Cartridge (1) Turn a ribbon cartridge knob clockwise (arrow direction) to give tension to the ribbon before setting. (2) Set the ribbon cartridge onto a ribbon plate (or a frame). When this is done, put the ribbon between a ribbon mask and the printing head. (3) After setting the ribbon cartridge, turn the ribbon cartridge knob clockwise (arrow direction) again to remove slackening of the ribbon. 1-3-2 Removing the Ribbon Cartridge Grab the right or left side of the ribbon cartridge and pull it up to remove it. When it is tight and difficult to remove, shift the ribbon cartridge either to the right or left and unlatch a hook on either side.
1.4 Cleaning
(1) When about 10 rolls of printing paper have been used, or when the printer has been used for 6 months, clean the printer and eliminate paper powder and dust. It is desired to clean by section (vacuum cleaner). Suck up paper powder and just elaborately in every nook and cranny. (2) To eliminate dirt, wipe it away using alcohol or benzine. Never use thinner, trichloroethylene or ketone solvent because they may deteriorate or damage plastic parts.

2.2 Mechanisms and Operating Principles

2-2-1 Outline of Mechanisms This printer is mechanically composed of the following 9 blocks: (1) Frame (2) Motor block (3) Transmission block (4) Sensor block (5) Head carrier block (6) Printing head block (7) Paper feed block (8) Ribbon block (9) Color change block (D type only) 2-2-2 Mechanisms and Operating Principles The following describes the structures and operating principles of the 7 mechanisms of the 9 blocks above except the frame and motor block. (1) Transmission Block This mechanical block is configured on the right side, and the mechanical block has a motor pinion fixed to a motor shaft, reduction gear, drive gear. Transmission from the drive gear has four destinations as; head carrier gear train, paper feed gear train, ribbon feed gear train and ribbon reset gear train.
1) Head carrier gear train This gear train consists of a pulley drive gear driven by the drive gear, and drive pulley and idle pulley. This drive pulley drives a timing belt SA to feed the head.
2) Paper feed gear train This gear train consists of a PF slip gear friction-coupled by the drive gear, clutch-coupled PF drive gear BK and clutch gear BK, PF reduction gear and PF shaft gear. It transfers power to a PF shaft.
3) Ribbon feed gear train This gear train consists of a ribbon slip gear friction-coupled to the drive pulley, ribbon reduction gear and ribbon drive gear. It continuously winds up the ribbon through motor rotation.
4) Ribbon reset gear train This gear train consists of a reset cam drive gear driven by the drive gear, and ribbon reset cam. By means of rotation of the ribbon reset cam, it resets the ribbon cassette from a red printing position to a black printing position.
(2) Sensor Block A detector block has 3 sensors; DP (Dot Pulse) sensor, HP (Home Position) sensor and RP (Reset Pulse) sensor. They operate important roles in operation and control of each printer mechanism.
1) DP (Dot Pulse) sensor/HP (Home Position) sensor They consists of a DP disk, which integrates a dot pulse disk with 17 slits (20 slits for DP611 and DP614 types) directly coupled to the motor shaft and equally space, and a home position pulse disk with one slit, and photointerrupters, which are soldered on the connector PCB SA and correspond to respective disk. Pulses are generated every time the slit on each disk passes the photointerrupter. A signal (DP) outputted from the dot pulse sensor is used for printing solenoid, paper feed and color change controls. The home position sensor generates one signal (HP) every 17 (20) DP signals. A DP count start position is determined by this HP signal and a signal (RP) outputted from the reset pulse sensor stated later. Since this machine does not contain a waveform shaping circuit, the user is kindly requested to prepare it. 2) RP (Reset Pulse) sensor This consists of an RP switch SA which uses a mechanical leaf switch mounted to the bottom side of a bottom plate BK. Every time a carriage passes this switch, an armature is turned on/off to issue an output signal (RP). RP is used as a reference position signal for HP.
10
(3) Head Carrier Block The head carrier block consists of the pulley drive gear driven through the drive gear, drive pulley, timing belt SA (consisting of a timing belt and a carriage drive pin), carriage and idle pulley. The carriage drive pin consists of belt fixtures A, B and carriage drive pipes U, L and is fixed to the timing belt. The carriage is reciprocated to the right/left by the carriage drive pin inserted in the long groove of the carriage when the motor is activated by a printing or paper feed command and the timing belt SA rotates clockwise. After printing operation is completed, power to the motor is shut off at a specified timing to stop it. At this time, the head stops almost at the center.
Timing belt SA
(4) Printing Head Block The printing head block consists of 3 parts; nose assembly which houses 9 wires, solenoid base composed of solenoids and armatures which drive respective wires, and cover which keeps an armature stroke constant. If power is turned on to each solenoid for about 450 s in accordance with dot pulses, the armature is absorbed by the solenoid. An armature action is transferred to the wire and a wire impact force configures dots on the printing paper through the ribbon.
11
(5) Paper Feed Block The paper feed block consists of the paper feed transmission mechanism described in 2-2-2 (1)-2), paper feed solenoid, which controls a clutch mechanism, PF trigger lever and clutch cam. It drives the PF shaft to feed the printing paper. The clutch mechanism is of spring clutch structure and consists of a PF drive gear BK, clutch gear BK, clutch SP and clutch cam. It transfers a rotation force of the clutch gear BK to the PF drive gear BK. There are 2 types of paper feed systems; friction type and pin wheel type.
1) Friction type (Model DP61* - *F*) With 2 PF rolls stuck to the PF shaft, the friction type system consists pressure rolls, which contact PF rolls, and pressure roll SPs, which give a pressure to the pressure rolls. It feeds the paper with a friction force caused by the PF rolls and pressure rolls. The printing paper can be inserted either from the rear or bottom of the printer.
12
2) Pin wheel type (Model DP61* - *P*) A pair of right and left pin wheels are fitted to the square PF shaft in such a manner that they can slide. Respective pin wheels are held by pin where guides R and L. To set the printing paper, move the pin wheel guide by shifting backward the lock lever attached to the pin wheel guide, position it in accordance with a paper width, and fix it by shifting the lock lever to the near side. The printing paper can be inserted from the rear only.
The printing paper is fed as follows. First, when a printing command is received, the motor starts running and rotates the drive gear and PF slip gear through the gear trains, and then, the clutch gear engaged with the PF slip gear, At this time, when a clutch cam is engaged with a trigger lever, the clutch is released and no power is transferred to the PF drive gear which is coupled to the clutch gear by means of a spring clutch. When a paper feed command is given and power is turned on to the paper feed solenoid, the PF trigger lever is absorbed and disengaged from the clutch cam, the clutch is thrown in, and the PF drive gear starts rotating. A rotation force of the PF drive gear rotates the PF shaft through the PF reduction gear and PF shaft gear to feed the printing paper. When power to the paper feed solenoid is turned off, the PF trigger lever is returned by a spring (turned clockwise) and engaged with a clutch cam claw, the clutch is released again, and the PF drive gear stops. A paper feed rate is 1 line per clutch cam tooth. A detent lever is used for positioning the PF drive gear, which is an intermittent gear, and determines a tooth phase with the PF reduction gear.
13
[Paper Feed Load Safety Mechanism] A safety mechanism is provided to prevent troubles such as a damage on gear teeth or motor coil burnout due to motor lock when an overload is applied to the PF shaft due to paper jamming, etc. The PF slip gear is friction-coupled to the drive gear by means of the PF slip spring. It is structured to idle and absorb the overload when a load exceeding a specified torque is applied to the PF shaft.
14
[Paper Free Mechanism] The PF shaft gear is ratchet-coupled to the PF ratchet fixed to the PF shaft. When the printing paper is pulled in its forward direction, ratchet coupling is released to allow the paper to be pulled out smoothly. If a knob is attached to the PF shaft and this knob is pulled to the right, ratchet coupling is released, the PF shaft is freed, and the paper can be fed in both forward and backward directions by turning the knob.
15
(6) Ribbon Block This mechanical block consists of the ribbon cartridge, which houses an endless ribbon, ribbon drive pole SA, which is driven by the ribbon feed gear train. While the motor is running, the ribbon drive pole SA is continuously rotated by the gear train and drives the ribbon gear built in the ribbon cartridge to continuously take up the ribbon. The ribbon drive pole SA is ratchet-coupled to the ribbon drive gear and can be also idled in a ribbon take-up direction (forward direction). Therefore, with the ribbon cartridge set in the printer proper, you can take up the ribbon by turning the knob on the ribbon cartridge.
16
A double color ribbon cartridge (D type) is set on the ribbon plate, and a monochrome one (M type) on the frame. Mounting of monochrome ribbon
Mounting of double color ribbon cartridge
17
[Safety Mechanism] When the ribbon jams and the ribbon gear is locked, the motor is overloaded, resulting in a possibility of troubles such as damage on gear teeth, burnout of the motor coil, etc. To prevent this, the drive pulley and ribbon slip gear are friction-coupled by means of the ribbon slip SP so that the slip gear will be idled when the ribbon feed system is overloaded.
(7) Color Change Block (D Type Only) This block consists of the ribbon plate where the ribbon cartridge is mounted, color change lever, color change solenoid, ribbon reset cam and reset cam drive gear. Normally, the ribbon plated is held by being locked by the hook at the 1st stage of the color change lever, and a ribbon's black-color portion is standing by at a printing position. When the power is turned on to the color change solenoid by a red printing command, the color change lever is drawn in to disengage the ribbon plate from the 1st-stage hook. The ribbon plate is rotated upward by color change lever force, hits the 2nd-stage hook of the color change lever and stops there, a ribbon's red-color portion is set at the printing position, thus enabling red printing. When printing is completed, the ribbon plate is pushed downward, locked by the 1st-stage hook of the color change lever and reset to its original position (blackcolor position). The ribbon reset cam has been set at a timing so that the printing head will function in a non-printing section either at the right or left end. It is not reset during printing.
