2A-31-50: Cockpit Printer
1. General:
A Miltope Corporation Model TP4840 dot-matrix thermal printer is installed in the
copilot side console. (See Figure 10.) The printer is interfaced with ARINC-429
bus connections to allow communication with the Mult-function Control and
Display Units (MCDUs) with an additional Local Area Network (LAN) ethernet
connection for data exchange with the Central Maintenance Computer (CMC)
module, or a Personal Computer (PC) connected to sub-D installations on the
CMC module face or the Test and Monitor Panel. The printer may be used to
produce hard copies of approach plates, Notice(s) to Airmen (NOTAMS), weather
information or other operational documents useful to the flight crew.
The printer is capable of producing three hundred (300) characters per second
over the ARINC-429 bus connections or four (4) pages per minute over the LAN
interface. In addition to printing a standard ninety-six (96) character set, the printer
will also reproduce bit-map formats. Printing is accomplished on a continuous roll
of thermal paper eight and one half (8.5) inches wide (216 mm) and one hundred
twenty-five (125) feet (38.1 meters) long. The paper is stored inside the printer
face with the bottom of the faceplate configured to provide a convenient tearing
surface. Paper replenishment is accomplished by opening the faceplate with two
push latches on either side of the printer.
2. Controls and Indications:
A. Printer Indications:
A horizontal row of indicators / pushbuttons is installed on the upper face of
the printer. The legends within the indicators / pushbuttons are arranged
vertically and may require the operating crew member to view the text
sideways. The indicators and associated actions are:
•
OFF - selects the printer on or off. Illuminates amber when printer
power is on and printer is selected off or if a power fault occurs with
printer selected on
•
FAULT - illuminates amber if printer is out of paper, the printer
faceplate is not secured closed, or the Built-In-Test (BIT) function
has detected a fault. (The printer automatically performs a BIT
whenever the printer is selected ON).
•
ALRT RST - resets the alert (fault) function
•
TEST - illuminates all of the indicators on the faceplate, performs a
BIT test and prints a test sample. (NOTE: pressing the TEST and
PPR ADV pushbuttons simultaneously will print a checkerboard and
solid bar pattern sample.)
•
LOW PPR - illuminates amber when only ten (10) feet (3.04 meters)
of paper are remaining on the supply roll. The last six (6) feet (1.8
meters) of paper remaining are indicated by a red stripe.
•
PPR ADV - advances the paper through the printer
B. Circuit Breaker (CB):
