4630/4830 Introduction
The 4630 is a thermal/thermal transfer printer with a print width of 2 to 6.4 inches (16.26cm),
300dpi resolution (11.8 dots/mm), and a print speed of 2 to 8 ips. The 4630s mechanical and
electrical design is derived from the Datamax DMX 600.
The 4830 is a thermal/thermal transfer printer with a print width of 3 to 8.5 inches (21.6cm),
300dpi resolution (11.8 dots/mm), and a print speed of 2 to 5 ips. The 4830s mechanical and
electrical design is derived from the Datamax DMX 800.
Both printers communicate using IPL (Intermec Programming Language), with the same
command set as other Intermec printers. 4x30 printers are also compatible with Intermec
controllers like the 9154 and 9161 using multi-drop and polling mode D.
128K of battery backed RAM is standard for storage of formats, graphics and fonts. One Meg of
DRAM is used for label imaging and can be upgraded with a 4 Meg SIMM for imaging longer
labels.
Resident fonts include 3 outline and 21 bitmapped fonts, along with the Code Page 850 character
set.
The 4x30 can print PDF417, Code 1, and Maxicode 2D barcodes as well as standard one
dimension barcodes.
Both printers use a autoranging, switching power supply that accomodates 115/230 VAC at 50 or
60 Hz. Circuit protection is provided by 2, 8amp 250V fast-blo fuses, located in the power
supply.

4830/4630 Features
• 300 Dpi Print Resolution
This print density offers the better print quality for graphics and fonts than 200dpi printers.
Bar code printing at 300 dpi gives an X dimension of 6.6 mils (0.0066 in).
• 6.4 inch (4630) and 8.5 inch (4830) Maximum Print Width
The 4630 has a print width from 2.0 to 6.4 inches (5.1 to 16.26 cm). The maximum media
width the printer will accept is 6.7 inches or 17.02 cm.
The 4830 has a print width from 3.0 to 8.5 inches (7.62 to 21.6 cm). The maximum media
width the printer accepts is 9.0 inches or 22.86 cm.
• Maximum Print Speeds of 2-8 ips (4630) or 2-5 ips (4830)
A user-selectable print speed offers the ability to adjust printer throughput to meet varied
printing requirements and media types. Factory default is 3.5 ips.
• IPL (Intermec Programming Language)
Both printers use the same command set as other Intermec printers like the 4400, 3240 and
3400. Both printers work with Intermec controllers so they can be attached to Pol D and
multi-drop configurations.
• LCD Control Panel
The control panel is similar to the 4400 control panel in physical layout and menu structure.
With a 16 character by 2 line LCD display, a Online/Offline button and LED, a Feed/Reload
and Canel button, an Alert LED for media lowstock indications and hardware faults and a
Power LED. An access door hides the Control Panel menu selection buttons.
The control panel makes it easy to configure the printer, enable or disable options, and test
the printer without it being connected to an external source.
• 2 Serial, Bi-Directional Parallel and General Purpose I/O
Both printers come standard with two serial ports, a Centronics type parallel port and a GPI
port. This provides a great deal of flexibility for connecting the printer to various or multiple
host systems. Both serial ports are DB-25 pin, with RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485
connections.
• 128K Storage RAM, 1Meg Image DRAM
The printers come with 128K of battery backed storage RAM for formats, graphics and fonts.
Image RAM is 1Meg that provides for a maximum label size of 10 inches for the 4630 and 8
inches for the 4830. Image DRAM can be upgraded with a 4 Meg SIMM for longer labels.
• Optional - 2Meg NVRAM Memory Card
The 2 meg memory card has the same footprint of a PC Card (PCMCIA) but is not PC Card
compatible. The card can be used to increase the amount of non-volatile storage for formats,
graphics and downloaded fonts. There are 2 separate memory card slots, located above the
label supply holder, for a 4 megaB total. See page A-6 for location.
• Optional - 4Meg Image DRAM Expansion
The 4 MB DRAM SIMM expansion is used to improve imaging performance when
customers need to print formats with a large number of graphics or variable fields. The 4
MB is added to the 1 MegB standard image DRAM and increases the maximum print length
to 64 inches.
This option is a factory or field service installed accessory.
4x30 Page 1 - 2 4x30 - Introduction

• Autoranging Switching Power Supply
Both printers use a autoranging, switching power supply that accomodates 115/230 VAC at
50 or 60 Hz. Circuit protection is provided by 2, 8amp 250V fast-blo fuses, located in the
power supply.
• 18,000 inch (452meter) Ribbon Supply
Ribbon to label supply ratio is 3 to 1. Ribbon replacement only needs to occur after every 3
rolls of label stock, reducing down time.
• Metal Construction and Enclosed Media
The 4x30 is specifically engineered to withstand heavy-duty industrial applications and harsh
environments. The media enclosure protects label stock from contamination that can
negatively affect print quality.
• Optional - Full Roll Internal Rewinder
For rewinding large batches of labels or for taking up label backing when using the Self-Strip
adapter option. This option is can be installed only at the factory.
• Programmable, Non-Volatile Printer Configuration
The printer configuration can be changed via the control panel or with online commands.
Some commands change printer configuration only while the printer is powered on while
other commands change the power up configuration. All power-up configuration changes are
saved in battery backed SRAM.
• 2D Symbology Support ( PDF 417, Code One and Maxicode)
The 4x30 can print PDF417, Code 1, and Maxicode 2D barcodes as well as the standard one
dimension barcodes.
• Outline/Vector Font Support
There are 3 outline fonts resident; c25 is a monospace 821 standard, c26 is a monospaced
821 bold, and c27 is a proportional Dutch Roman 801. They give smooth, rounded characters
at any point size.
• Bitmapped Font Capabilities
21 point sizes offer customers greater imaging speed and format flexibility with a range of 6
points to 36 points.
• User Selectable Gap Feature For Fonts
A fonts intercharacter gap is adjustable. This can help to maximize the usability of a text
fields label area.
• Printable Control Characters
Beside the normal way of sending commands and data to the printer using control characters,
you can now use printable control characters and the printer will interpret them.
Control characters represent the first 32 characters of the ASCII chart and are normally
unprintable. Control characters are entered from the keyboard using the Ctrl key + a printable
character, like Ctrl + G is a <BEL> character. This method of using control characters can be
confusing, complicated and unworkable with most text editors.
To simplify the sending of commands and data to the printer, printable control characters
were implemented. You can now send the printable characters <+B+E+L+> instead of
having to enter control characters like Ctrl + G. This makes it possible to use any text editor
to create a file of commands and data for the printer.

• Third Party label design software
Loftware (LLM) and Seagull Scientific (Bar Tender) have drivers for the 4x30 printer in
their label design software packages.
• Optional - Internal Twinax/Coax Interface
The Intermec 4630/4830 IBM Coax-Twinax Interface Adapter allows customers to connect
the 4630 and 4830 printers to an IBM coax or twinax cable system.
The twinax capability enables the printer to operate with an IBM system 34/36/38 or AS/400
host computer as specified in the IBM 5250 Twinax Interface Programming Application
Interface. The adapter supports a half-duplex, two wire, twisted pair twinaxial cable
interface. Connected to the this twinax port, the printer emulates IBM 4234-002 / 5225-
1/2/3/4 printers. This enables programming staff to easily develop software to print to the
4630 and 4830 and provides seamless integration into an IBM midrange system. Host-to-
printer commands are sent from the host computer to the Twinax adapter. The Twinax
adapter converts EBCDIC/IBM commands into ASCII/Intermec printer commands.
The coax capability is designed for connecting Intermec 4630 and 4830 bar code printers to
IBM 3270 Type A cable computer systems operating in the VTAM (CICS/TSO)
environment. This interfaces supports the IBM 3174/3274 coax electrical standard as
specified in the IBM 3174/3274 Coax Programming Application Interface. Connected to the
coax port, the 4630 or 4830 printer emulates IBM 3287/4234 type printers. A customer’s
programming staff can then develop software to print to the 4630 and 4830.
• Optional - Self-Strip with Present Sensor
For on-demand label applications using adhesive back labels, this option automatically
removes the backing paper and presents the label ready for use. With the media present
sensor, the printer waits until the last printed label is taken, then prints the next label. The
Self-Strip Adapter must be used in conjunction with the Full Roll Internal Rewind option.
Option Restrictions: In lieu of Cutter Accessories
• Optional Connectivity Features
Local Area Network Connectivity
Customers can connect the 4630 or 4830 to an Ethernet TCP/IP or Novell Netware
network using the Extended Systems Print Server which can be acquired through
Intermec’s Buy-On-Order process. The Print server attaches to the standard parallel
interface and is powered by an external power supply adapter.
This option is a customer installed accessory.
RF Connectivity
Customers can connect the 4630 or 4830 to an Intermec 902 MHz RF network by using the
Intermec 9189-C02 RF Gateway.
This option is a customer installed accessory.

• Optional - Cutter and Tray
There is a Standard Cutter for the 4630, recomended for cutting liner between labels or for
cutting paper and tag stock less than 7.5 mils (1.91mm) in thickness. This high grade tool
steel blade cutter is easily attached to the front exterior of the printer with two thumb-screws.
The cutter gets its power directly from the printer through an RJ-11 telephone style
connector, so no additional power supply is required. Its self-sharpening rotary blade is rated
for 500,000 cuts and can be replaced when it becomes dull.
This option is a customer installed accessory only.
Option Restrictions: In lieu of the Self-Strip Adapter or Heavy Stock Cutter.
A Heavy Stock Cutter is offered on both the 4630 and 4830 printers for when the customer
needs to cut thick paper stock greater than 6 mils thick, through the paper/adhesive stock in
continuous rolls, or fibrous stocks such as Kimdura or synthetic materials.
As with the Standard Cutter, it is a rotary style cutter which mounts and connects to the
printer in the same fashion. It is self sharpening and is capable of cutting over 500,000 cuts.
Its blades can be flipped when they become dull, doubling the number of cuts the blade is
capable of cutting to 1 million cuts total. On the average the blades should be cleaned every
20,000 cuts.
This option is a customer installed accessory only.
Option Restrictions: In lieu of Self-Strip Adapter or Standard Cutter.

Media Loading
The printer accepts a wide range of media. It can be loaded with roll fed, fan folded, or die cut
continuous media of either Thermal Transfer or Direct Thermal type.
Media width can range from:
4630 2 in. (25.4 mm) to 6.7 in. (170 mm)
4830 3 in. (76 mm) to 9 in. (229 mm)
Media thickness can range from 0.0025 in. (0.0535 mm) to 0.01 in. (0.254 mm) for both printers.
Loading Roll Labels
1. Open the stock door

2. Slide a roll of the chosen medium onto the media hub assembly.
3. Raise the printhead latch wing and rotate it counterclockwise one half turn to unlock the
printhead. Swing the printhead to the raised position.
4. Route the media under the bouncer assembly and in between the upper and lower media
guides. Feed the media until it exits the printhead assembly.
5. Lower the printhead and engage the printhead latch. Rotate the latch wing one half turn
clockwise and snap the latch wing down to lock the printhead into position.
Note:


Media Width Adjustment
The printer can use a variety of media widths and thicknesses. To ensure even print quality
across the media regardless of changes in media dimensions, the print head has a leveling cam
adjustment. The cam raises and lowers the right side of the print head to keep the printhead level
across the media.
Your printer is setup at the factory for the following media:
4630 Standard 4 mil thick, 6.5 inch wide print media.
4830 Standard 4 mil thick, 9.0 inch wide print media.
The cam adjustment is designed to compensate for the use of narrower width stock. When the
cam is out of adjustment, print along one side of the label will be missing as the print drops off
suddenly, rather than gradually fading out.
The adjustment knob is designed with detents that allow it to turn a specific distance, one click at
a time. The knob has numbers for you to use as reference points when adjusting media width;
however, the numbers do not relate to specific media sizes. Turn the knob one click at a time
until the desired print quality is achieved.
When changing media of a different thickness, it may also be necessary to reset the cam
adjustment bracket.
To reset the cam adjustment bracket
1. Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise until it stops.
2. Loosen the two screws securing the bracket.
3. Load the new media.
4. Slide the bracket up or down to contact the cam adjustment.
5. Tighten the two screws to secure the bracket.
6. Print a test label. You may need to turn the cam adjustment knob to fine tune the print
quality.

Loading Thermal Transfer Ribbon
If you plan to print in thermal transfer mode, you must install a thermal transfer ribbon on the
ribbon supply hub after you install the thermal transfer media.
To load thermal transfer ribbon

1. Open the stock door.
2. Raise the printhead latch wing and rotate counterclockwise one half turn to unlock the
printhead. Swing the printhead to the raised position.
3. Slide the ribbon roll onto the hub, making sure the ribbon roll is up against the hub
flange.
4. Pull the free end of the ribbon under the printhead carriage.
5. Remove the J-hook from the ribbon rewind hub.
6. Pull the ribbon over the ribbon idler rollers, wrap the free end of the ribbon around the
ribbon take-up hub and slide the J-hook ribbon clasp into place. Rotate the hub until all
slack is removed from the ribbon (do not use the J-hook to rotate the hub).
7. Lower the printhead, engage the printhead latch, rotate the latch wing one half turn
clockwise and lower the latch wing.
8. Close the stock door.
Removing Thermal Transfer Ribbon

Generally, ribbons are used to completion and then replaced. To remove the old ribbon, pull it
straight off the take-up hub and discarding it. However, there may be times when you need to use
direct thermal media before the thermal transfer ribbon has been completely used.

To remove the thermal transfer ribbon
1. Cut the ribbon between the idler rollers.
2. Turn the ribbon supply hub clockwise to draw the unused portion of the ribbon back
until it is clear of the printhead. You do not have to unlatch the printhead or remove the
unused portion of the ribbon.
3. Turn the ribbon take-up hub counterclockwise to roll up the used portion of the ribbon,
and slide the used ribbon off the hub.
The unused portion of the ribbon may be left in place until the next thermal transfer print
job, at which time it may be installed following the ribbon installation procedure.
Using the Tear Bar

The tear bar is already fastened to the printer. To utilize the tear bar, remove the rewind bracket
and replace the thumbscrews.
Using the Control Panel

You can operate many features of the printer directly from the control panel instead of through a
host computer. The control panel provides the means for all direct communications with the
printer such as advancing media or canceling the current print job.

Connecting the Printer to a Network or Modem

The proper way to connect the printer depends on the way your system is configured. This
section contains a procedure for non-switched modem installations and references for network
installations.
Using a Modem With Your Printer

Modems let the printer communicate with the host computer from a remote location that is not
accessible through direct cabling. You must use an asynchronous, dedicated (non-switched or
manually switched), full-duplex modem to communicate with the printer. Communication
requirements should be described in the modem documentation.

4630/4830 Maintenance
Cleaning the Printhead

Cleaning media debris from the printhead maintains close contact between the media and
printhead, which provides good print quality. The printhead should be cleaned after every 5 rolls
of media. Always clean the printhead immediately if a label jams in the printer.

Cleaning the Cutter Blades
The cutter blades (optional) require a minimal amount of maintenance. After every 5,000 to
10,000 label cuts, check the front and back sides of the cutter blades. If there is adhesive buildup
on the blades, clean them with a cloth or cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Rub the
surfaces until the blades are completely clean.
You should also clean parts of the cutter where the media enters and exits the cutter assembly.
Watch for signs of adhesive buildup such as slower cutter operation or increased effort to cut
media.
The cutter produces dust and paper particles as it operates. Make sure this debris does not build
up inside the printer or the cutter mechanism. A small vacuum cleaner or compressed air is
effective in removing a buildup of these particles.
Cleaning the Media Guides and Media Path

You should clean the media guides and media path regularly to keep debris off the media surface
and printhead where irregularities can spoil print quality or damage the printhead. Cleaning the
guides also prevents the media from skewing or improperly tracking as it travels through the
paper path, which can result in smeared images and print off the side of the label. Always clean
the media guides immediately after a label jam in the printer.
Media debris may accumulate around the printer mechanism and along the media path during
normal operation of the printer. Clean the debris away regularly using a soft bristle brush or
vacuum cleaner. Remove all traces of dust, paper, and adhesive. Clean the flat surfaces of the
media path (including the edge guide) with a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol.

abrasive cleansers or solvents. Be sure to clean the transparent panel on the stock door so that the
media supply inside the printer is visible when the cover is closed.

4630/4830 Adjustments
There are 5 adjustment points on the 4630/4830 printers
1- Printhead Alignment or Printhead Burn Point

2- Bias Adjustment or Head Level Cam
3- Media Width Guide
4- Media Sensor
5- Head Home Sensor
Printhead Alignment or Burn Point Adjustment

The Printhead Burn Point is the place where the flat surface of the printhead heater line actually
meets the surface of the media (and ribbon, in thermal transfer mode).
The Burn Point Adjustment is performed by loosing the two Printhead Assembly Anchor screws
(only enough to move the carriage) and rotating the two spring-loaded Allen screws situated on
top of the Printhead housing. Rotating the screws moves either side of the printhead forward and
backward along the media path to adjust the burn point for maximum print quality. When the
adjustment is complete, tighten the Printhead Assembly Anchor screws.
When out of adjustment, the skewed position of the Printhead causes the print to fade out toward
one side of the label.
CAUTION - Do not force or over tighten the adjustment screws
Printhead Alignment or Burn Point Adjustment

Printhead Bias or Leveling Cam Adjustment
The Printer can use a variety of media widths and thicknesses. To ensure even print quality
across the media regardless of changes in media dimensions, the Printhead has a leveling cam
adjustment. The Cam raises and lowers the right side of the Printhead to keep the Printhead level
across the media.
The Printer is factory set using a standard 4 mil thick, six inch wide print media. The Cam
Adjustment is designed to compensate when narrower width stock is used. When out of
adjustment, print along one side of the label will be missing. The print drops off suddenly, rather
than gradually fading out.
The adjustment knob is designed with detents which allow it to turn a specific distance, one click
at a time. The knob is numbered for the convenience of the operator. (The numbers do not
relate to specific media sizes). Turn the knob one click at a time until the desired print quality is
achieved.
When changing to media of different thickness, it may also be necessary to reset the Cam
Adjustment Bracket. To reset the Bracket (1.) Turn the Adjustment Knob counter-clockwise
until it stops; (2.) Loosen the two screws securing the Bracket; (3.) Load the new sized media;
(4.) Slide the Bracket up or down to contact the Cam Adjustment; (5.) Tighten the two screws
to secure the Bracket. Print a test label and turn the Cam Adjustment Knob if necessary to fine
tune the print quality.
Caution - Do not force or over tighten the adjustment knob
Printhead Bias or Leveling Cam Adjustment

Media Sensor Adjustment
The Media Sensor performs two functions. It acts both as a Position sensor, which allows the
Printer to monitor the position of a label along the media path, and as a Media Present sensor,
which informs the Printer when stock must be replaced. The Printer’s firmware controls whether
the sensor detects the Top Of Form position or an Out Of Stock condition This sensor must be
correctly adjusted for proper Printer operation.
Transmissive (Gap) Sensor adjustment

When using transmissive label backing, the transmissive sensor detects the position of each label
by passing light from an LED through the label backing material. Because more light passes
through the backing alone than through the label plus backing, the sensor is able to discriminate
between the two situations, and thus identify the position of the label. To adjust this sensor

Transmissive (Gap) Sensor Adjustment

Reflective (Black Mark) Edge Sensor Adjustment
When using stock with reflective label backing, the sensor detects the position of each label by
reflecting a light signal off the label backing material. This sensing method requires the use of
special label backing that contains a carbon black stripe. The sensor detects the Top Of Form
position by sensing the voltage drop when the reflected light is absorbed by the black stripe.

Media Sensor Assembly - Mechanical Adjustment

In order to be able to detect the label edge and/or carbon black stripe for all media sizes, the
Media Sensor is adjustable across half of the media path. The position of the Media Sensor may
need to be adjusted when changing from a wider to a narrower media stock size to ensure that
the sensor is positioned to detect the label edge.
Rotating the knurled adjustment knob clockwise sets the sensor for wider media. In general, if
the knob is kept in the full counter-clockwise position it will correctly sense media. However, if
there is a problem in sensing Top Of Form, try rotating this knob clockwise, one half turn at a
time, until the error is eliminated.
CAUTION - Do not force or over tighten this adjustment knob

Media Sensor Assembly - Adjustment
Media Width Guide

To ensure smooth passage of the media through its path, the Media Width Guide should be
adjusted with every change in media width.
The Upper Width Guide should always be kept adjusted. The rear and bottom Feed Slots are
not equipped Width Guides.
To adjust, slide the guide in or out until it just touches the edge of the media.

Head Home Sensor Adjustment
In factory production, the Head Home Sensor is adjusted using an oscilloscope. This adjustment
can be made in the field using a Multimeter. Use the following procedure:

4630/4830 Electronic Theory
In the design of the 4630/4830 Printer, the majority of the electronic functions are combined on a
single circuit board, utilizing the Intel i960 type microprocessor.
The microprocessor is responsible for overseeing the data flow throughout the system; for
processing and formatting print data; for managing the print cycle in which print data is sent to
the Printhead and the Printhead elements activated; and for monitoring the sensors for alarm
conditions.
Microprocessor
The 32 bit Intel 80960 JA Microprocessor (U22) formats label data, and sends it to the thermal
print head control circuits.
The 80960 JA calculates the proper strobe times for each print cycle based on print head
temperature. The four 8-bit latches (U41 ,U42, U44 and U45) are used to latch the 32 address
bits during each address interval.
Thermal Printhead Control circuit.

This circuit operates during a print cycle as follows:

!
" #$ %! &'() %
"
!
% # &'() * #+( !
# * , -(( -((

. / # * , * & *,
# *

#
The Printhead contains two buffers. While the first (input) buffer is loaded with print data, the
second (output) buffer transmits its data to the printhead. When the first buffer has been filled
with print data, it transfers the data in parallel to the second buffer. This clears the input buffer
and prepares it to receive the next block of print data.
The Programmable Interrupt Controller at U67 expands the total number of available interrupts
on the i960 board to 10.
Programmable Timer
The programmable timer (U64) provides three independent timing signals.
Timer0 0 $ , ! $

Timer1 0 & ,

, #
Timer2 0 + 0 , ( - 1"!

Analog to Digital (A to D) Converter (U72)
Converts analog input signals to digital data. Four channels are used :
0 ) ) 2, &

0 ) #

0 ) # 3 ,
0 ) - $4
DRAM Memory
The Printer is factory equipped with 1 Megabyte of DRAM (U43, U52). The 1 MB consists of
two 256K by 16 bit chips, producing a total of is 256K by 32 bits. DRAM is expandable to a
maximum 5 MB.
Address are multiplexed into DRAM by the DRAM address multiplexer (U53,U54 and U60).
EPROM Memory
The Printer is factory equipped with 2 MB of EPROM (U28, U29, U30 and U31). Each chip
consists of 4 megabits of ROM arranged as 512K by 8 bits, forming a 512K by 32 bit (2 MB)
array.
Real-Time-Clock (RTC)
The RTC chip, located at U61, provides time information, and contains 114 bytes of non-volatile
data storage, used to store set-up data for the Printer.
Note:

Ribbon Sensor
The ribbon sensor circuit is comprised of a voltage comparator (U58- pins 1,6, and 7), 4 resistors
(R111, R132, R133, and R202), 1 diode (D10), and 1 capacitor (C7). In thermal transfer mode,
the circuit insures that the Ribbon Rewind Hub is functioning properly.
Paper Motion Sensor

The paper motion sensor circuit, comprised of a voltage comparator (U58, pins 2,4, and 5), 4
resistors (R189, R190, R201 and R238), 1 diode (D11, and 1 capacitor (C6), operates in direct
thermal mode paper motion to insure that the Media Rewind Hub is functioning properly.
Head Home Sensor

The head home sensor circuit is comprised of a voltage comparator (U58, pins 10,11 and 13)and
4 resistors (R191, R192, R208 and R230). The circuit is designed to ensure that the Printhead is
locked in the down position.

Paper Edge Sensor
The paper edge sensor circuits consists of three invertors (U59-10,11, U59-12,13 and U59-8,9),
two potentiometers (R1 and R2), and one transistor (Q7).
The paper edge sensor operates in both reflective type and transmissive sensing modes. In the
transmissive mode the transmissive LED is turned ON and the reflective LED is turned OFF. In
the reflective mode the reflective LED is turn ON and the transmissive LED is turned OFF.
Potentiometer R1 controls the gain of the detector (photo transistor) by controlling the value of
the collector load resistor.
Potentiometer R2 controls the gain of the reflective sensor by controlling the amount of current
in the reflective LED.
Front Panel Interface

The 34-position connector J9 provides the interface connections between the I960 board and the
front panel P.C. board.
The inputs on U39-2 through U39-9 and U68-9 come from the nine keypad switches located on
the Control and Operator's panels.
Three LED's located on the front panel are driven by U47 and U8.
They are: U47-12 = On Line/Pause, U47-13 = Media/Ribbon, and U8-6 = Power.
Signals labeled TX, DTR, RX and CTS are connected to the RS232 phone jack connector located
on the Operator's Panel PC board . These lines are used when the Printer is connected to a
remote terminal.
The J9 connector also provides the +24v and +24v return signals used to supply power to the
Cutter option DC motor (J9-32 and J9-34), when that option is installed.
Bi-directional Parallel Port

The bi-directional parallel port consists of a portion of the U40 (UART), all of U21 (octal D-type
flip-flops), all of U18 (octal tri-state buffer), all of U25 (gal) and invertors U12-9,8, U12-11,10,
U12-12,13 and U35-11,12,13. The timing and pin connections are fully Centronics compatible.
Serial Ports (A and B)

The two bi-directional serial ports (A and B) are totally compatible with both RS232 or RS422
communications protocol levels.
The Serial ports are comprised of connector J5, RS232 driver chip U57, RS232 receiver chip
U49, RS422 driver/receiver chip U37, AND gates U34 (pins 8 through 13) and a portion of U40
(UART).
RS422 outputs can be independently enabled or disabled by software.
PCMCIA Interface
When the optional PCMCIA interface board is plugged into connector J18, the dual connector on
the interface board can accommodate 2 PCMCIA cards (either Type 1 or Type 2).
The interface board has a 208 pin surface mount ASIC chip that provides the interface between
the I960 bus and the PCMCIA bus.
The interface board also has two 5 volt to 3.3 volt converter chips that make it possible to use 3.3
Volt as well as 5 Volt PCMCIA cards.

General Purpose I/O Port
The general purpose I/O port has 16 input and output bits.
The function of each bit is as follows:

Outputs:
(U62-19) - Enables +12v programming voltage for Memory Card 1.
(U62-18) - Enables +12v programming voltage for Memory Card 2.
(U62-17) - Control signal for parallel port.
(U62-16) - Can control the power LED on the front panel bd.
(U62-15) - Control signal for parallel port.
(U62-14) - Turns on +5 volts during a dot check operation.

The general purpose I/O connector J3 also provides voltages at the following pins:
J3-3 (selectable +35v or +24v at 1 amp)

J3-14 (+12 volts at 150 milliamps)
J3-7 (+9 volts at 150 milliamps)
J3-15 (+5 volts at 1 amp)
J3-1 ( logic ground)
J3-25 (+35v/+24v return)

Power Connections
The I960 board has two connectors going to the switching power supply, (J10 to J12).
J10 functions:
J10-1 +35 volts (from power supply)
J10-2 +35/+24 return
J10-3 +24 volts (from the power supply)
J10-4 +35/+24 return
J10-7 logic ground
J10-8 logic ground
J12 functions:
J12-1 High/low stepper motor current .
J12-2 Phase B Enable (transport stepper motor)
J12-3 Phase A Enable (transport stepper motor)
J12-4 Phase B (transport stepper motor)
J12-5 Phase A (transport stepper motor)
J12-6 High side print head voltage programming resistor
J12-7 Low side print head voltage programming resistor
J12-8 Printhead voltage (+24 volts during printing, +4.3 volts during dot check).
J12-9 logic low to turn on the print head voltage (+24v)
J12-10 logic high disables the +24v drain resistor and the +24v LED circuit.
J12-11 (not used)

J12-14 logic ground
+9V and -9V Converter Circuits

The -9V converter circuit (U66, R203, C101, C102, C10, C11, D1 and D2). is used to convert
+12 volts to -9 volts.
The 9V regulator circuit (VR1, C109, R194, R195 and C103) is used to convert +12 volts to +9
volts.
Ribbon Saver Interface

Connector J15 provides two output control lines and two input control lines for the optional
ribbon saver board. J15 also provides the voltages needed by the ribbon save board (+5v and
+35v).
The ribbon save board drives a stepper motor which is used to raise or lower the Printhead under
software control. Raising the print head from the media allows the Printer to skip over white
space. Since the ribbon does not advance when the Printhead is raised, skipping over white areas
significantly reduces ribbon usage.
