Starting the Tests
Roll paper self test:
The printer starts printing on the roll paper when you turn on the power while holding
down the receipt FEED button when all the covers are closed. After printing is completed,
operate the autocutter to cut the receipt.
The SLIP LED flashes and the printer enters the slip paper wait mode when you turn on the
power while holding down the RELEASE button when all the covers are closed. Printing
starts on the slip paper when you insert a slip of paper in the printer.
Turn on the power supply while holding down the FEED and the RELEASE buttons while
the cover is closed. The SLIP LED flashes and the printer enters the validation paper wait
status. In this state, printing begins on the validation paper when you insert validation
paper.
After the test print is completed, the printer enters the self test wait mode. The PAPER OUT
LED flashes after printing "SELF-TEST printing. Please press PAPER FEED button."
Test printing starts when you press the receipt paper FEED button.
When the printer status print is completed, the printer ejects the slip and waits for the next
slip of paper. Test printing starts when you insert a slip of paper in the printer.
When the printer has ejected the validation paper, you can insert the next validation sheet
and printing continues.
MICR Reader Test (Only with Printers that Have a MICR Unit)
1. Load the roll paper in the printer.
7. The following message is printed on the roll paper. The SLIP LED flashes.
8. Insert check paper into the printer. Insert so that the MICR characters are facing upward on
one side of the paper insertion slot. The printer will run a test to read the check.
9. After reading is completed, remove the check. The printer prints the check data on the roll
paper.
10. Verify that the check was read correctly. You can continue running the test by inserting
more checks.
11. When you have finished the test, turn off the power supply to the printer.

Printing operation
Wire movement when printing one dot
1. When an electrical pulse is applied to the drive coil, the steel core is excited, and the
operation plate is pulled in the direction indicated by black arrow. At this time, the dot wire
is pressed against the operation plate by the force of the wire return spring. The force of the
operation plate pushes the dot wire out towards the platen (in the direction indicated by
black arrow).
2. The dot wire prints a dot when it strikes the platen through the ink ribbon and paper.

Characters are printed by energizing the print solenoids at a timing corresponding to the head
carriage movement position, using the carriage motor phase change signal as a reference signal.
The print head unit moves approximately 0.339 mm with a one step rotation (7.5) of the
carriage motor.
To print the number "2," print solenoid numbers 2 and 9 are energized in sync with the carriage
motor phase change signal. Next, print solenoid number 8 is energized in sync with TnH,
delayed by a half dot time interval. The number "2" is printed by repeating this process.
(See Figure D-7.)

To close the platen, the lever drive coil is energized again while the lever drive motor rotates,
turning the lever drive gear the prescribed amount in the direction of the arrow. This rotates the
platen lever open/close cam 180, and the platen lever is moved in the direction shown by arrow
b around the platen lever shaft by the slip retainer spring. The slip feed roller and slip hold
roller make contact at this time, closing the platen.

The mechanism is located near the right end of where paper is inserted to ensure it can
determine whether or not a slip has been inserted and for proper positioning.
The B.O.F. detector is comprised of an LED and phototransistor. When a paper slip is inserted,
the light rays between the LED and photo resistor are interrupted, resulting in a change in the
phototransistor output level.
This change in output level is used as a detection signal to determine whether or not a slip has
been inserted.

The tip of the N.E. detector lever is pushed against the edge of the roll paper by a spring built
into the microswitch. Therefore, the N.E. detector lever touches the edge of the roll paper when
there is a substantial amount of roll paper remaining, which keeps the microswitch turned ON,
as shown in the following illustration. The tip of the N.E. detector lever moves in the direction
of the arrow as the amount of roll paper remaining becomes lower than the prescribed amount.
The tip of the N.E. detector, thus, moves toward the core of the roll paper center thereby turning
OFF the microswitch to generate a detection signal.

Clamshell mechanism
The clamshell mechanism consists of a paper feed unit, paper feed frame shaft, and paper feed
frame fixing lever. This mechanism is used in the event of a quality problem, such as a paper
jam.
Main frame
Figure D-30
Opening mechanism
1. Press the on the two paper feed frame fixing levers (indicated by "arrow a" in Figure
D-30).
2. The paper feed frame fixing lever comes off the main frame, allowing the entire paper
feed unit to rotate on the paper feed frame shaft. (See Figure D-31.)
3. Rotate the entire paper feed unit approximately 90 in the direction indicated by arrow
b. (See Figure D-31.)
Main frame
Figure D-31
Closing mechanism
1. When a paper jam or other problem has been fixed, rotate the entire paper feed unit in
the opposite direction from when the mechanism was opened.
2. Lightly press down on the upper part of the paper feed unit to lock the paper feed frame
fixing lever to the main frame.
The paper is released by operating the release lever beside the paper feed motor on top of the
paper feed unit. The end of the release lever is located very near the paper hold roller. When
you push the part of the lever labeled "PUSH" in the direction indicated by arrow b, the paper
hold roller on the paper hold roller shaft is moved in the direction indicated by arrow a,
releasing the connection with the paper feed roller, releasing any paper in between.

When the T.O.F. detector and B.O.F. detector determine that a slip has been inserted, the lever
drive coil is energized while the lever drive motor is rotated. At this time, the linkage between
the paper feed trigger attraction plate and lever drive ratchet wheel is disconnected, the lever
drive shaft and lever drive cam rotate, and the sub slip feed lever moves in the direction
indicated by arrow a. (See Figure D-34.) This pushes up the sub slip feed roller, compressing the
sub slip hold roller. At the same time as this, the sub spring feed lever moves the form stopper
in the direction indicated by arrow b (See Figure D-34), completing preparations for feeding the
slip away from the form stopper slip path. (See Figures D-34, 36.)

After this, the paper feed motor is rotated a number of steps corresponding to the slip paper
format in the direction indicated by the arrow. The rotation force is transmitted to the slip feed
roller and sub slip feed roller by the gears, positioning the slip paper at the top. (See Figure
D-37.)

The slip feed mechanism gear assembly is comprised of the following parts:
J/S change gear (J/S change solenoid engages this with the slip paper feed gear)
The driving force of the paper feed motor is transmitted to the slip feed roller and slip hold roller
simultaneously via the gears, creating the force to feed the slip paper on the front and on the
back.
When the slip paper is fed forward, the respective gears rotate in the directions indicated by
arrow a, arrow b, arrow c, arrow d, arrow e, and arrow f. This rotates the slip feed roller and slip
hold roller in the directions indicated by arrows g and h, feeding the slip paper in the direction
indicated by the arrow. When the slip paper is fed in the reverse direction, the operation is
performed in the opposite direction. (See Figure D-37.)
Validation Mechanism
Feeding validation paper
When you use validation paper, the force of the drive of the paper feed motor switches to the
slip paper feed gear using the J/S change mechanism.
The open/close operation (see "Platen open and close operation") moves the platen lever frame
in the direction of arrow a and the slip paper roller and platen are opened. Validation paper can
be inserted from the top of the printer mechanism in this state. When the trailing edge of
validation paper is detected, the detection signal is output. This signal is received, the lever
drive motor is started, and the platen lever moves in the direction of arrow b (in Figure D-8).
This causes the slip feed roller and the slip hold roller to grasp the validation paper. The platen
closes to ensure the appropriate platen gap, and printing is possible. When the printing of one
line of characters is completed, the paper feed motor is driven to rotate the slip feed roller to feed
the validation paper the prescribed amount in the upward direction.
Transmission gear
The rotation of the carriage transmission pulley driven via the carriage transmission belt is used
to feed the ribbon.
Carriage transmission
pulley
Figure D-38
Meshing of these gears transmits the driving force of the ribbon drive gear to the ribbon take-up
gear via the ribbon intermediate gear, rotating the ribbon take-up shaft mounted at the top in the
direction shown by arrow D. (See Figure D-39.)
The ribbon is fed when the ribbon feed roller in the ribbon cassette meshes with this ribbon take-
up shaft.
On the other hand, when the head carriage assembly moves from left to right, the carriage
transmission pulley rotates in the direction of arrow E, and the ribbon drive plate rotates in the
direction of arrow F around the ribbon reduction gear rotation shaft. Consequently, the ribbon
drive gear and ribbon intermediate gear no longer mesh, the ribbon take-up gear remains in
place, and the ribbon is not fed.
The ribbon take-up gear has an internal one-way clutch, preventing it from rotating in the
direction indicated by arrow G and this, in turn, prevents ribbon slack. (See Figure D-39.)

MICR head

MICR solenoid
After the T.O.F. and B.O.F. detectors determine that a check has been inserted, the sub slip feed
roller and sub slip hold roller take hold of the check in an operation like that described for
positioning the slip paper. This prepares for movement of the form stopper in the direction
indicated by the arrow to feed the check. The MICR solenoid is then energized, moving the
MICR lever in the direction indicated by the arrow, and the MICR fixing mounted to the MICR
lever pushes the check against the MICR head.
Next, the paper feed motor rotates at the MICR reading speed in the same way as for slip paper
feed, transporting the check. When the MICR characters on the check pass over the MICR
magnet in front of the MICR unit, they are magnetized. The check is transported farther, and
when the characters pass through the MICR unit, they are read by the MICR head, shown in
Figure D-41.
In the event the MICR characters cannot be recognized during the MICR reading process, the
check is ejected out the rear (see Note 1).
Upon completion of MICR reading, the check is fed to the position corresponding to the format
for printing on the front of the check, and the head carriage assembly prints in the prescribed
format on the front of the check. After printing, the check is fed forward and ejected, completing
the operation. The slip feed roller rotates during the front printing process, feeding the check
forward in the same way as for a slip (see Note 2).

Autocutter Mechanism
The basic idea of the autocutter mechanism on this printer is the scissors principle to cut paper
at the intersection of two blades. The autocutter on this printer has one stationary blade and two
movable blades: a scissors blade that moves rotatively and a sliding blade that moves in a
straight line. In operation, it employs a compound blade type autocutter mechanism that leaves
the area between the scissors blade and the sliding blade uncut. The structure requires that the
stationary blade, the scissors blade and the sliding blade be established on the cutter frame and
the drive mechanism be established on the cutter cover.
Scissors blade
Sliding blade
Figure D-42
Drive Mechanism
The cutter motor is fastened to the cutter cover. The cutter motor gear is pressed into the motor
axis. The cutter motor is a DC brush motor. The cutter drive gear is rotatably supported on the
cutter drive gear shaft that is attached to the cutter cover. The cutter drive gear is held by an E-
ring. The autocutter deceleration shaft is held at both ends at the cutter cover. The autocutter
deceleration gear and the cutter worm gear are rotatably supported on the autocutter
deceleration shaft. The side walls relative to the autocutter deceleration gear and the cutter
worm gear are the clutch plates and the autocutter deceleration gear pushes the cutter worm
gear by the force of the cutter clutch spring. There is a thin metal washer between the autocutter
deceleration gear and the cutter clutch spring to allow smooth rotation. The force of the cutter
motor is transmitted to the autocutter deceleration gear and cutter worm gear from the cutter
motor gear to rotate the cutter drive gear.
A micro switch is attached to the cutter cover. The micro switch detects the position of the
blades (scissors blade and sliding blade). The cutter drive gear is a cam. The micro switch,
linked to the cam, is turned ON and OFF. The cutter motor and micro switch are connected to
the intermediate cable coming from the printers circuit board by the cutter lead wire.
Figure D-43
Stationary blade
Scissors blade
An oblong hole is designed to abut the movable blade drive shaft that is fastened to the cutter
drive gear on the scissors blade. Reciprocal rotation of the cutter drive gear supportingly rotates
the movable blade shaft of the scissors blade. The sliding blade bearing and sliding blade are
established on the sliding blade shaft and sliding blade link shaft that are attached to the cutter
frame. Abutting of the shaft on both sides of the oblong hole on the sliding blade guides the
sliding blade. The sliding blade spacer spring and sliding blade spring are attached to the
sliding blade shaft and are held to the cutter frame by the bush-nut (stopper ring). The sliding
blade link is rotatably supported on the sliding blade link shaft. The scissors blade transmission
shaft mounted on the sliding blade and the scissors blade transmission shaft mounted on the
scissors blade abut the two oblong holes in the sliding blade link, thereby comprising the link
structure. Coupled with the reciprocal rotation of the scissors blade, the sliding blade moves
reciprocally in a direct linear direction. When the scissors blade (and the sliding blade) is at its
idle position, the micro switch is OFF (open).
Clutch Mechanism
These parts and drive mechanisms can be damaged when foreign matter enters between the
movable blades (scissors blade and sliding blade) and the stationary blade. A power
transmission clutch has been established to protect these parts in the event that foreign matter
enters between the movable blades (scissors blade and sliding blade) and the stationary blade on
this printer. Sliding occurs between the autocutter deceleration gear and cutter worm gear and
the motor lock is held in check. If the cutter blades (scissors blade and sliding blade) do not
return within a predetermined amount of time, an error is detected to stop, cut the flow of
power to the motor, and enter a reverse rotation energizing of the motor to automatically
recover the movable blades (scissors blade and sliding blade).
Autocutter Operation
The following describes the order of operation of the autocutter.
1. Voltage is charged to the terminals of the cutter motor and the cutter motor gear rotates.
2. The cutter blade drive shaft moves the scissors blade toward the stationary blade.
3. The sliding blade, linked to the movement of the scissors blade, also moves toward the
stationary blade.
4. The movable blades (scissors blade and sliding blade) intersect at the stationary blade
thereby cutting the roll paper from both edges.
5. The area between the scissors blade and the sliding blade remains uncut and the movable
blades (scissors blade and sliding blade) retract.
6. When the movable blades (scissors blade and sliding blade) are at their idle positions, the
micro switch detects that status and stops the motor to stop the movable blades (scissors
blade and sliding blade).

Reset Circuit
Stable operation of the CPU and GA requires a certain reset period immediately after power up.
All operations return to their initial status after the reset operation. The reset IC (U1) on this
printer monitors the logic power source (VCC, Standard output: +5V), and sets the reset signal
to LOW when the VCC is 4.2V or lower. The reset signal is restored from LOW to HIGH 50 ms
after the VCC exceeds 4.2V. The CPU and GA operate normally after reset.
Reset also can be performed by sending the reset signal from the host interface.

The circuit configuration is the same as the carriage motor driver, but the current setting is fixed,
and is changed between two levels by the output (PF_HOLD) of the GA (U30) port. The current
calculation procedure is described below.
Current = VREF/(10 Rs)
RS: 1
VREF: VCC or voltage obtained by voltage division ratio of R105 and R106.
As for the carriage motor drive circuit, the driver IC is operated by setting the 24VSW1 signal
HIGH.
Rotation of the lever motor starts changeover of the paper path and the platen open/close
operation. An NPN Darlington transistor is used for lever motor drive. Due to the structure of
the lever motor, a brake circuit is not required. The lever motor is driven using the ELV_M1
output signal from the GA.
The lever motor rotates when LEV_M1 = LOW. The motor cannot be driven when the VCC-
PWR is not being supplied. Furthermore, the Q41 NPN Darlington transistor incorporates a CE
Zener to perform kickback protection.

To control the MICR solenoid, it is necessary to apply two voltage levels (24V, 13V) in opposite
directions. Therefore, the MICR solenoid has a complicated circuit configuration. The MICR
solenoid is driven by MICR_SOL1 and MICR_SOL2 (output signals from the CPU).
MICR_SOL1 determines the direction in which electricity is sent, and MICR_SOL2 drives the
MICR solenoid. The logic is described in the following table.

Protection (A) is detected, and detected voltage is
lowered. Automatic reset.
The output voltage is determined by the potential division of R82 and R85. In other words, the
circuit operates so that the crossover voltage of R82 and R85 is 1.26 V.
The input voltage of 24V for the power supply circuit is supplied to U11 through the R2 fuse
resistor (KOA RF73B2HTE0.51). R3 may burn out in the event of a malfunction in the U11 area.
R3 will also burn out in the event of excessive VCC voltage (approx. 7.5 V or more). This fuse
resistor cannot be replaced. Therefore, the circuit cannot be repaired by replacing the R3 in the
event it has burned out due to a circuit malfunction.
An external power supply is connected to the CN18. A switch is connected to CN29. When the
switch is turned ON, the voltage at Q61 Gate-Source is 0 because Q61 is OFF and C605 is not
energized. For that reason, there is no current flowing. After that, the voltage to Gate-Source
gradually rises according to the time constant determined by C605 and R245 to gently raise the
output voltage. This restricts the sudden flow of current to the capacitors.

Types of Switches
The printer has two switches. As shown by the circuit for the display functions in the previous
section, input is enabled by two signals (SW_SLIP, SW_RPT). LOW status is input when the
panel switch is pressed. HIGH is input when the switch is not pressed.
GA operation monitor
The CPU (U3) monitors GA clock oscillation. The CPU firmware reads a specific GA register at
an arbitrary time, and compares that value with the value previously read. If the results of the
comparison are different, the system is judged to be operating normally. The GA changes the
register value using clock oscillation. Therefore, if it is operating normally, the register value
continuously changes.
CPU runaway causes a WDT (watch dog timer) overflow, resulting in output of LOW status
from the CPU WDT output terminal. This is connected to the GA TIMI input terminal, and
when the GA detects the LOW status for a certain time, it goes to the reset status and is not
restored.
When the thermal head becomes abnormally hot, the GA TIMI input terminal goes LOW, and
the GA is reset and is not restored. The firmware judges this as a GA malfunction, and processes
it as an unrecoverable error.
GA TIMI input terminal also goes LOW when the impact head becomes abnormally hot, causing
the GA to go to the reset status, which will not be restored. The firmware judges this as a GA
malfunction, and processes it as an unrecoverable error.
Interfaces
This printer has a variety of interfaces. There is a dedicated connector (CNB) for the EPSON

Printer Handling
WARNING:
If an accident occurs when the power switch cover is attached, unplug the power cord
from the outlet immediately to avoid fire or shock.
You can use the enclosed power switch cover to make sure the power switch is not accidentally
pressed. The illustration below shows the power switch cover installed.
switch cover
If you need to turn the power on or off when the cover is installed, you can insert a thin tool into
one of the holes in the cover to operate the switch.

latch levers
Note:
If you do not close the roll paper cover using the following procedures, a paper jam can occur.
1. Check that the power to the printer is turned ON. If it is not ON, turn it ON.
2. Press the FEED button to feed approximately 50 mm of roll paper. (this work is not
necessary if you replace or install the paper roll because paper feeding occurs automatically
when you insert paper into the roll paper slot.)
3. Cut the receipt paper with the manual cutter shown below.
Manual

Figure I-4
4. Close the roll paper cover. Press down on the roll paper cover until you hear a click.
Note:
Do not use paper rolls that have the paper glued or taped to the core because they might cause a paper jam.
2. To prevent data loss make sure that the printer is not receiving data.

6. Be sure to note the correct direction that the paper should come off the roll.
8. Hold both edges of the paper and insert it into the paper slot. The paper is automatically fed
into the printer.

10. Insert the take-up spool and cut off the receipt paper, as shown below.
Note:
When installing or replacing the roll paper, use the manual cutter to cut the receipt paper. If you cut
the receipt paper using the emergency cutter on the autocutter after closing the roll paper cover, there
is the possibility of causing a paper jam.

Removing Paper
If you need to remove roll paper before it is all gone, follow these steps:
3. Push the release lever (located on the right side of the paper roll).
Then pull out the remaining paper in the paper feed direction. Always pull paper in the paper
feed direction to prevent damage to the printer mechanism.
Note:
Be sure to turn on the power before installing a ribbon cassette.
1. Unpack the ribbon cassette and turn the knob in the direction shown to take up any slack.

2. Open the front cover of the printer, using the tabs on each side of the cover.

5. Turn the knob two or three times to make sure the ribbon is seated correctly. You can also
look at the side of the slip unit to see if the ribbon is in the correct place. See below.

cassette
EPSON recommends the use of genuine EPSON ribbon cassettes. Ribbon cassettes not
manufactured by EPSON may cause damage to your printer that is not covered by EPSONs
warranties.
CAUTION:
Do not insert checks with staples in them. This may cause paper jams, MICR reading
errors, and damage to the MICR head.
Note:
Be sure that the checks are flat, without curls, folds, or wrinkles.
1. Wait until the computer sends the FS a 0 command to the printer, causing it to enter the
MICR mode. The SLIP light blinks.
2. Turn the check over so that it is face up with the MICR characters on the right side. The MICR
characters must be next to the right edge of the paper inlet.

3. Insert the check straight into the paper inlet, using the right edge of the paper inlet as a
guide.
4. Insert the check as far as it will go. The printer will detect the check and start drawing it in.
5. When the printer starts drawing it in, let go of the check immediately. Otherwise, the check
may not be fed straight, and there could be a paper jam or a MICR reading error. The SLIP
light quits blinking but stays on.
6. When printing and MICR reading are finished, the printer ejects the check and the SLIP light
starts blinking again.
7. Remove the check by pulling it straight up; do not pull it at an angle. The SLIP light goes off.
Note:
Because of variations in paper roll cores, it is not possible for the detector to measure exactly the length of
paper left on the roll when the detector is triggered.
1. Open the paper roll cover, and remove the paper roll.
2. Loosen the adjusting screw with a coin, and carefully move the detecting lever down. At the
factory the lever is set at the highest position (#5). As you move the lever down through the
five positions, you increase the amount of paper left on the roll when the near-end sensor is
triggered.

3. When you have moved the lever where you want it, tighten the adjusting screw, and check
to be sure that the detecting lever moves freely.
Control Panel
POWER
This light is on when the power is turned on.
ERROR
When this light is on but not blinking, it means that the printer is offline. Check to see if a cover
is open. When this light is blinking, there is an error. If you see this light blinking, turn off the
printer for a few seconds and then turn it back on. If the light is still blinking, see Chapter 1
Troubleshooting.
PAPER OUT
This light comes on when the printer is out or nearly out of roll paper. The printer has a paper
end detector, and it also has a near-end detector (which can be adjusted) to warn you that the
printer is nearly out of paper. See previous section if you want to adjust this detector.
This light blinks during the self-test printing standby state or macro execution standby state
(when the macro execution command is used).
SLIP
This light blinks when the printer is ready to receive slip paper. It stays on during printing on
slip paper and blinks again when slip paper should be removed.
FEED
Use this button to feed roll paper or to start a roll or validation paper self test. (See Figure I-20)
