Anybody used EPSON M-42V Daisy wheel Printer

[sougata]

Hi,

I need to use a low cost mini printer mechanism in one of my project. My local market provided me an EPSON Model - 42V printer for about $15(INR Rs.650). It has got 3 daisy wheels for printer. One motor and an encoder strip to provide some positioning and timing signals. (I could figure out this much) Googling for it I did not find any datasheet or application notes. Seems a pretty obsolete one. Following is what I have with me:

1 - trigger magnet - 
2 - trigger magnet + 
3 - motor + 
4 - motor - 
5 - timing signal T --- 
6 - reset signal R --- 
7 - common for 5,6,8 
8 - Timing sub signal t

Any help or suggestion ( for any other printer aswell ) on how to play with it would be of great help to me. The mentioned printer is widely used in Telephone Call Monitor devices in the local market. I really do not have the scope and time to reverse engineer.

Looks like you got yourself a calculator printer. I have used this printer many moons ago and may still have some data. If you still cannot find anything, let me know, I will search if the data is still there.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply jerson. Actually the cost was an important factor. And the Kolkata market is not so smart to provide alternatives. So I had to settle for this. So if you have the datasheet please upload.

Hi Sougata

I have located the data sheet. Unfortunately, it is 25 pages. I will upload the images maybe tomorrow.

Hi,

The previous upload has been deleted so here is the new link http://rapidshare.com/files/23526925/Epson_M42-V_.pdf . Please note that the size of the file is close to 8.6 MB and sending by email is not permitted on my account. It is a pdf with the scanned document Jerson. Don't forget to thank Jerson.
