Hi Everybody,

Jerson was kind enough scan the pages of the old datasheet and send it to me. I can the same should anybody else need it. It is around 4.2Mb and cannot be uploaded here. Thanks Jerson for sharing and thanks to the forum to make it actually happen.

Hi Roshan,

Sorry for the late reply. The scans from Jerson was from old paper. It proved very useful though and I thank Jerson once again for the help. I have cleaned them a little bit. But still they are of big size. I tried to convert it into pdf. But due to poor quality OCR did not work. I would try to FTP it but going through very tight schedule. The code is not complete too. When finished I would post it here. By the way the timing diagrams are not much readable. Send me a PM after 29th SEP with your postal address, I would try to courrier the Hard Copy.

sougata,

It looks like that site deletes the file after 90 days for the free accounts.

If you want, I can put in on my website, where it'll stay.
Seems more people may want it in the future.

For the sakes of future requesters, I've posted the datasheet on my website on the downloads page.

hello sir,
can u please provide me some information regarding, "interfacing m42v printer with 8051"?
thank you

Tell us what you have done till now to interface the printer. If you run into some trouble with what you have, you can get help. But, you need to have done at least some preliminary work.

Yes Sougata, I have interfaced this printer with 8051

Dear Priya,

As I write these the datasheet is being mailed to you. (My broadband upload speed sucks!).

Darrel I think it is a good idea to have it on your website thus I am again uploading it to rapidshare and posting the link. http://rapidshare.com/files/76897214/Epson_M42-V.pdf
I lost the code (and a lot other) when my 250gb Seagate was fried. I keep backups but do not really have a good incremental backup tool, (no free backup tool that I could locate) so things are really messed up. All I can remember is that I did some filtering on the signals from printer using R-C network followed by a Schmitt trigger. Also I remember that sometimes the count was wrong so instead of printing too fast I was printing then grabbing pulses and printing again. For experimental purposes I used PWM channels for both the motor drive and the solenoid but did not actually use them. Driver used was a ULN2803 with outputs paralleled. (4 for the motor/ 4 for the solenoid)

You should look at abakt (http://www.xs4all.nl/~edienske/abakt/). I use this for my backups. Very nice tool. Can do incremental, differential, full backups and is *Free*

Hi Jerson,

I will surely try that. But sad to know that the developer has stopped working on the project.

Now PBP compiles for the 8051? When did this happen?
