5. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
5.1. Introduction
This chapter describes the major functional elements of the Model 2x00 printer. Information
is provided concerning power distribution, the printing subsystem, control panel, and
heaters. Chassis interconnections are identified in Figure 5-1.
The printer provides dot matrix hardcopy output of data received from a host computer. The
printer communicates with a host computer through a parallel data interface. The
mechanical and electrical subsystems of the printer are described in the following
paragraphs.
5.1.1. Power Distribution
Prime power (115/230 Vac) enters the chassis at the rear panel J1 connector. A line filter
provides attenuation of interference related to input voltage and output current. Prime
power exits the filter and is routed to a 5-ampere circuit breaker/power switch at the front
panel. The load side of the circuit breaker provides ac power to the power supply input
connector. The power supply converts 115/230 Vac input to outputs of +5 V at 2 A and
39 V at 6 A. Power supply outputs are provided to the controller board. A chassis ground
stud is located on the rear panel of the unit.
5.1.2. Printing Subsystem
The Model 2x00 incorporates the printing architecture of the Panasonic Model KX-P2130
printer. The printing subsystem consists of a controller board and print engine mechanics.
The controller board re5 V and +39 V from the power supply. Power and data
signals are provided by the controller board to the print engine mechanics, control panel
interface, and parallel data interface.
5.1.3. Control Panel
All controls and indicators required for printer operation are located at the front panel of the
unit. The switch/indicator panel communicates with the printer controller through a control
panel interface board. The circuit breaker/power switch interfaces with the line filter and
power supply. Printer controls and indicators are described in Chapter 4.
5.1.4. Heaters
The printer incorporates a heating capability to facilitate operation at low temperature. A
controlled heat source is provided for the two print engine drive motors. The heat source
consists of a 50-watt resistor mounted under each motor. A thermal switch is used to apply
power to the resistors at
≤
-15
°
C and remove power at
≥
0
°
C.
