Function
Supply 5V10% to Vcc and 0V to Vss.
This pin controls the processor mode.
Connected to Vss for single-chip mode, to
Vcc for external ROM types.
To enter the reset state, this pin must be kept
at L condition, and maintained so for the
required time.
These are I/O pins of internal clock
generating circuit. Connect a ceramic or
quartz crystal resonator between XIN and XOUT.
When an external clock is used, the clock
source should be connected to the XIN pin,
and the XOUT pin should be left open.
Data/instruction read and data write are
performed when output from this pin is L .
In memory expansion mode or
microprocessor mode, this pin determines
whether the external data bus is of 8-bit width
or 16-bit width. The width is 16 bits for L
signal input and 8 bits for H signal input.
This is an input pin for the /HOLD request
signal.
This is an input pin for the /RDY signal.
This is the 1 output pin, which is equal to the
clock XIN pin divided by 2.
The bus use status output is generated in 2bit code
Power supply for the A-D converter. Connect

AVCC and AVSS to VSS externally.
This is reference voltage input pin for the A-D
converter.
This is an output pin for the 8 low-order bits of
addresses. When the DRAM is to be
accessed, the row and column addresses are
generated by means of time division
multiplexing.

When the BYTE pin is set to L in memory

expansion mode or microprocessor mode and
external data bus is 16-bit width, high-order
data (D15~D8) is input or output when /E
output is L and an address (A15~A8) is
output when /E output is H .
If the BYTE pin is H that is an external data
bus is 8-bit width, only address (A15~A8) is
output.
In memory expansion mode or
microprocessor mode low-order data (D7~D0)
is input or output when /E output is L and an
address (A23~A16) is output when /E output
is H .
These are R/W, /BHE, ALE, and /BLE output
pins.
This port is provided 5-bit I/O. As it has an I/O
register, it is possible to perform programming
to determine whether each bit serves as an
input pin or an output pin.
This port is used for 8-bit I/O. It has basically
the same function as port P4. In addition, it
provides timer A2, timer A3, timer A4 with I/O
pins and TimeB0, and TimeB1 with input pins.
the same function as port P4. In addition, pins
P60 through P63 and pins P64 through P67
are capable of functioning as a 4-bit real-time
output, respectively.
provides input pins for analog inputs AN0
through AN7. Pin P77 is also used for A-D
conversion start trigger input.
provides RxD, TxD, CLK, /CTS//RTS
terminals for UART 0 and UART 1.
This is an 8-bit I/O port. It has basically the
same function as port P4. In addition, it
provides DMA request input pin and DMA
acknowledge signal output pin.
This is an 8-bit I/O port. It has basically the
same function as port P4. In addition, it
provides the /INT0, /INT1, /INT2 input pins,

This is the thermal head drive/protection and history control circuit. CLK and /LAT are connected
to thermal head control clock and data latch respectively. PH controls the DC24V voltage of the
thermal head. When PH is LOW , the thermal head will be separated from 24V (VDD).
PH_HEAT determines whether to heat the thermal head or not. HISTORY determines whether
the history control is available or not. DI sends the printer data to the print head. TM is the
temperature/voltage sensor for thermal head. Vdet feeds back the voltage and compensates the
heat time for voltage accuracy when printing.

Fig. 3.11 Stepping Motor And DC Motor Driver/ Protection Circuit

This is the Stepping Motor and DC Motor Drive/ Protection Circuit. Connector JP12 sends the
pattern as shown in table1. The status of I0 & I1 determines the stepping motor power level, the
power level pattern is as shown in table2. Motor port is the protection pin. When it is at LOW
level, the power of the motor system will be closed. Power will be ON again when MOTOR pin is
the pulse of HIGH level. PHASE1 and PHASE2 determine the pattern of stepping motor drive
circuit. For example, the sequence of PHASE1/PHASE2 in full step mode is
0/0 ->
0/1 ->
1/1 -> 1/0.

Fig. 3.12 RS-232 (Serial Port) Circuit

The RS-232 Circuit is for use with the externally connected personal computer and keyboard
unit. JP13 connects to PC serial port through the RS-232 cable. RxD is the data receive pin of
MCU. CTS is the Clear To Send of MCU, which sends the signal from the external device. TxD
is the data output pin of MCU. RTS is the Request To Send signal which MCU sends to the
external device.
The parallel port circuit is for use with the external personal computer parallel port connected
through the printer cable. When PC s strobe signal comes in, the printer responds the busy
status until it reads the data from parallel port. Printer will respond the error signal to PC
when it is in error status.

PIN2 of JP2.
1. When ribbon is detected between TX and RX of the ribbon sensor, the measured voltage
should be 5 Vdc.
2. When ribbon is not detected between TX and RX of the ribbon sensor, the measured voltage
should be 0 Vdc.
The ribbon sensor is normal if the checking complies with the two cases above. Or else, the
ribbon sensor is out of order.
B. Checking DC Motor Encoder Sensor
PIN2 of JP6.
1. When gap of the gear box is detected by the DC motor encoder sensor, the measured
voltage should be 5 Vdc.
2. When gap of the gear box is not detected by the DC motor encoder sensor, the measured
voltage should be 0 Vdc.
