2.3.2.1 Reset Circuits
The
C137
MAIN board
contains
2 reset circuits: the
+5V
monitor reset circuit and the
+35V
monitor
reset circuit. The
+5V
monitor reset circuit monitors the voltage
level
of the
+5V
line,
using reset
IC
@
PST592D
(IC12),
and outputs a reset signal to the
E05A96
gate array
(IQ
when the voltage level
drops below
+4.2V.
The
+35V
monitor reset arcuit
monitors the
voltage level of the
+35V
line,
using reset
IC
M51955B
(IC8),
and outputs a reset signal to the CPU.
The
reset signal is generated
when the voltage level drops
below
+28V,
and this causes a
non-maskable
interrupt (NM).

The following sensor circuits enable the
C137
MAW board to monitor printer mechanism status:
HP sensor
A
photocoupler-type
HP (home position)
sensor is
attachd
to the
surfam
of the
printer mechanism to detect the carriage home position. A LOW level from the
signal indicates that the carriage is m home position.
PE sensor A
mechanical switch PE (paper end) sensor is built into the printer
mechanism to
determine whether there is paper in the printer or not. A LOW level
hm
the
signal
indicates that no paper is loaded.
CO sensor
A micro switch is attached to the bottom of each ink cartridge holder in the carriage
unit. When the ink cartridge is installed, these switches are pressed and a LOW
level from the signal
indiates
that the ink cartridge is installed into the ink
cartridge holder.
Thermistor
c
;
A thermistor is attached to the color printhead driver board to monitor its
*.
temperature. The
CPU changes the
print&ad
drive signal’s pulse width (charge
pulse width) based on the temperature level.
