Thermal
printer controllers Mercury CTM-01 and Mercury CTM-02 are compact
multipurpose devices designed for thermal printer control with
supply voltage from 4.5V up to 8.2V.
Controllers have a set of instructions that gives a user possibility
to print out alphanumeric and graphic information.
Presence of nonvolatile memory in Mercury CTM-02 controller
allows user to reload character generator at his option or enter
special symbols. |
Controllers
includes:
- driver IC
- thermal print head control circuit
- two-phase stepper motor control circuit
- thermal print head and stepper motor protection from failure
circuit
Controllers are designed as completely autonomous units.
