    Default regarding driving the printer

    hello sir,

    i want to know weather its possible to print the characters by using epson 42 v and abt driving it by using atmega32 microcontroller. i hav written the code using code vision . the code is as follows.

    #include<mega32.h>
    #include<delay.h>
    // timing signal T on portD-0
    //reset pulse on portD-1
    //triger magnet driving pulse on portD-2
    int i;
    void timing(void);
    void reset(void);
    void magnet(void);
    void main()
    {
    while(1)
    {
    for(i=0;i<8;i++)
    {
    timing();
    }
    reset();

    magnet();
    }
    }
    void timing(void)
    {
    DDRD=0xff;
    PORTD=0x01;
    delay_ms(1);
    PORTD=0x00;;
    delay_ms(1);

    }
    void reset(void)
    {
    DDRD=0xff;
    PORTD=0x02;
    delay_ms(1);
    PORTD=0x00; // a single reset pulse on pin pd.1
    delay_ms(1);
    }
    void magnet(void)
    {
    DDRD=0xff;
    PORTD=0x05;
    delay_ms(1);
    PORTD=0x04; //timing pulse on pd.0 gets low after 1ms
    delay_us(500); // magnet pulse gets low on pd.2 after 1.5 ms
    PORTD=0x00;
    delay_ms(1);
    }

    i want to know weather motor needs the pulses or a continuous 5v supply.

    Default plz post some data Mr. jerson

    hello jerson sir,

    i wnat some data regarding thetimings to run the printer. i am just being able to run motor and the magnetbut because of lack of timing the desired characters are not printed.

    As u hav mentioned in one of the thread as "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." so if u hav some data plz find it for me and post it so everybody can use it.

    U hav done the project so u would hav exact knowledge of the timings. so i sincerely request u to post some data or to mail me that on my Id

    I have already posted the datasheet for you and others. See this http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...6&postcount=14

    The datasheet is the complete document you would need to interface the mechanism.

    Good luck

    Post Literature please

    Hello everyone, can you pls mail me or send a download link to me for the datasheet of epson 42v printer? I downloaded the one from rapidshare, but it contains only the contents page. My mail-ID is [email protected] . I am in kolkata, so getting only printers Epson 42v, Epson 460A & Citizen DP555L.
    Thanks in advance.
