Foreword
This manual describes the principle of operation and the maintenance procedure for DP730 Series
Citizen Dot Nlatrix Printers. It is intended for maintenance technicians in the field.
Features
The DP730 series printers are station printers that are provided with a 45 mm x 2 printing function.
These printers have been developed for POS/ECR use. They have the following features.
* A high performance 9-pin head is provided, realizing a high printing speed of s.() lines/second
and high print quality.
* The printer is compact, light and low priced. This has been realized as a result of rational
mechanical design.
* A clamshell mechanism (opening and closing mechanism of the paper guide) is employed. resulting
in improved paper loading performance and maintainability.
* A pull type paper feed mechanism is employed for minimizing paper jams.
* A wide range of option mechanisms is available.
(Stamp, auto cutter, take-up unit, paper feed unit. validation sensor, receipt/journal near end sensor,)

Gently wipe off dirt adhering to the surface of the
head using a cotton stick moistened with ethanol or a
similar solvent.
Remove the dedicated ribbon cartridge before
transporting the printer or when not using it for a
long period.
If you energize the head while there is condensation
on it, you may damage it as a result. If there is
condensation on the head, dry it thoroughly before
using the printer.
Loading the recording paper
* Cut the end of the recording paper squarely and
insert it into the printer. Do not insert the end of
the paper if it is fuzzy or creased.

The mechanism and principle of operation of 8 of
the above 10 blocks other than the frame and
motor are described below.
Power transmission mechanism
This mechanism transmits drive power from the
motor ass -y to the print head mechanism via a
bevel gear. to the recording paper feed mechanism
and the auto cutter mechanism via the PF gear, to
the ribbon cartridge mechanism via a worm wheel,
to the recording paper take-up mechanism via the
winder pulley. and to the stamp mechanism via
the stamp drive gear.

Section 3 Disassembly and Re-assembly
Be careful of the following items when maintaining the
printer.
~ Caution
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
If the printer operates satisfactorily, do not
unnecessarily disassemble and re-assemble
it, or adjust it. Particularly, do not needlessly
slacken any of the mounting screws.
Before switching on the printer after an
inspection, check it to ensure that there are no
abnormalities.
NEVER operate the printer without loading
recording paper.
Verify that the recording paper has been
loaded correctly.
When carrying out maintenance on the
printer, take care not to leave parts or screws
inside it.
When disassembling and re-assembling the
printer, inspect it to ensure that the wires and
cords are not damaged, and take care not to
route them in an unreasonable way.

Assembly Procedure.
Assembly Procedure
The following assembly procedure assumes that
each assy has already been assembled. It covers
only the assembly of the main body. For the
method of assembling each assy, refer to the
exploded drawings in Section 5 Parts Lists.
The part names used in the explanatory text are
those indicated in Section 5 -Parts Lists.. These
part names are used in common throughout this
service manual:
(1) Screw a nut on each mounting screw (M3xI0 hex
screw), and install the mounting screws in the
paper guide (U), ensuring that the nuts coincide
with the V cut partofthepaperguide(U),

Caution 1. The grooved part of the PF shaft is the
receipt side, the ,grooveless part is the
journal side.
2. Mori LG-S No.1 grease should be applied
on a surface extending about 30 mm from
the shaft end of the receipt side.
(5) Apply Mori LG-S No.1 grease to the inside of the
PF clutch spring, then install the clutch spring to
its mounting part on the receipt side of the PF
shaft.
Caution 1. The PF clutch spring can be installed
smoothly by turning it in the slackening
direction.
(6) Install the receipt PF roller ass~ and the journal
PF latch from the journal side on the PF shaft.
Caution 1. Make sure that the mounting directions of
the PF roller assy and the PF latch are
correct.

(9) Apply Mori LG-S No.1 grease all around both left
and right clutch spring parts of the PF shaft.
Caution 1. Mori LG-S No. ] grease should be applied
to both roller assembly and PF latch
mounting parts.
For the PF roller assy, grease should be
applied starting about 5 mm from the right
end of the clutch spring, to a width of about
15 mm. For the PF latch. grease should be
applied starting about 5 mm from the left
end of the clutch spring. to a width of about
5 mm.

holder.
Check the spool gear and clutch spring for abnormal
wear,
Check the take-up timing belt to see if it is worn or
stretched.
Check to see if the end switch lever is installed in the
correct position.
Using atester, check to see if the rnicroswitch ON/OFF
operation is normal,
Check [o see if the end switch lever is out of place.
Check to see if the end switch lever is deformed.
Measure the resistance of the cutter solenoid, and check
to see if it conforms to the standard (approx. 34 Q),
When the cutter is operating, measure the voltage
between pin 7 (+) and pin 18 (-) of the connector on the
main PCBassy,and check to see if the 24 VDC is being
supplied at the specified timing.
Check to see if the rack, latch or pinion is worn.
Check to see if the cutter blade is worn.
Repair method
If the stamp print is unclear, either
add two or three drops of ink, or
replace the stamp with a new one,
If the stamp holder is deformed,
replace it.
If the stamp is not set correctly, set it
correctly,
If there is wear or some other abnor-
mality, replace the abnormal part,
if there is an abnormality, replace the
take-up timing belt.
If the position is incorrect, re-adjust
it.
If the ON/OFF operation is abnormal,
replace it,
If the switch lever is out of place, re-
install it,
If the end switch lever is deformed,
replace it.
If it is outside the standard range,
replace the cutter solenoid.
If it is not being supplied, repair the
printer control section.
If there are any worn parts, replace
them,
If the blade is worn, replace the cutter.
