Receive-Only

Printer

The Model 810 Receive-Only

Printer

is

a multi-copy, impact

printer

utilizing a unique look-ahead feature

controlled by

an

on-board

micro-

processor to effect optimized bidirec-

tional printing.

Speed

of

the Model 810

is

150

cps

with

an

effective

throughput

from 60

full 132-character lines-per-minute,

up

to

440 lines-per-minute

maximum

with

an

average

of

10

character

lines.

Features

High Speed Printing

Maximum

throughput

is

achieved by

using a look-ahead technique. In-

creased efficiency

is

attained

because

the printhead need

not

return

to the

left margin for each new line.

Optimized bidirectional

pnntmg

minimizes printhead travel time

and

correspondingly increases available

print

time.

are the keys to

performance

and

reliable, long-life

operation.

The

by

TI

provides clear, legible printing

of

an original and up to 5 copies.

Interfacing the 810

The

Model

810 is available with

an

EIA

RS/232-C

Serial

Data

Interface

as

standard,

with

TTY

Current

Loop

and

Parallel Interfaces offered as

options.

Each

of

the interfaces also

has the

option

of

Line Buffering.

LBE

-Line buffering with

EIA

interface;

LBP

-Line buffering with

parallel interface;

and

LBT

-Line buffering with

TTY

interface.

(See Table 4 for interface specifica-

tions for all interfaces.)

The

standard

interfaces,

without

line

buffering, go busy when

the

rate

of

the incoming

data

exceeds the

print

speed

and

causes the buffer

to

be

filled. This may

happen

at

any

place

along

the

data

stream, thereby

re··

quiring

busy status

to

be

monitored

after

each character. (See timing

diagrams, Figures 5

and

7.)

With

Line Buffering, receipt

of

the

132nd printable

character

causes the

printer

to

go busy until either

the

buffer is cleared

or

printing

begins.

In

addition,

CR,

LF,

FF,

VT, Delete,

and

DC3

characters will also cause

busy

conditions.

This

enables the

transmitting

device

to

only

look

at

busy

status

following the

trans-

mission

of

a block

of

132 printable

characters

or

less, instead

of

after

each character. (See timing diagrams,

Figures 6

and

7.)

NOTE:

Transmitter

stops sending

data

when the 810 is busy

Line Buffering modifies the following

machine performances:

1.

Throughput

may be effectively

decreased

due

to always going busy

after

each 132 characters,

or

at

the

end

of

each line.

2.

The

software

programmable

option

of

variable line widths is

not

functional with Line Buffering.

The line width is fixed

at

132

characters.

The Model 810 Printer as a 990 Computer Peripheral

The 810 kit supplied by Texas

Instruments for the 990 Minicom-

puter,

Part

Number

938120-0001,

consists

of

the Mode1810 Line

Printer

with full

ASCII

character set

and

vertical forms control with com-

pressed print, a 9 meter (30-foot)

cable, interface module, papertakeup

tray

and

an

installation

and

operation

manual.

The Model 990

Computer

System

provides control

of

the line printer

and

sends

data

at

a 4800

baud

burst

rate via the interface module

to

the

line printerfor printing. Theinterface

is

a full-duplex, RS-232-C circuit,

half-size printed-circuit

board

that

installs in a communications register

unit

(CRU)

slot

of

the Model 990

Computer. The interface module

receives serial

data

and

commands

from the

computer

CRU,

converts

them

to EIA levels

and

sends them to

the line printer. The interface module

also receives status from the printer

and

routes these signals

to

the com-

puter.

The

half-size interface

board

may be installed in either side

of

a

Model 990

Computer

CR

U slot

or

in

a Model 990 110 expansion chassis

slot.

Versatility

of

locating the printer

remotely

is

provided via the optional

extension

cables

available

in

increments up

to

1000 feet (304.8 M.).

Operating in conjunction with the

appropriate

Model 990

Computer

Operating System software, the print-

er

provides reliable hard copy

of

high-

speed

data

output

from the computer.

Software

Support

To

operate a line printer, software

routines must provide initialization,

character transfer, and end-of-data

reporting. Standalone software pro-

grams for printer operation may be

easily designed

and

implemented;

however,

other

than

operational tests,

output

to

the printer

is

normally

accomplished by calling the device

service routine

of

the 990

Computer

DXI0

or

TX990 Operating System.

Service routines implemented

under

the operating systems use SBO, SBZ,

TB,

LDCR

and

STCR

instructions

of

the 990

Computer

instruction re-

pertoire.

Because the module

can

be inserted

into

any

of

the available

CR

U chassis

locations

wired

for

predefined

addresses, the base address becomes a

variable

that

depends

on

the module

chassis location.

Before selectinga chassis location, the

user must determine the address

that

the software handling routine expects

the module to recognize. Full details

for chassis locations

and

jumper

configurations are·provided in the 990

hardware reference manual.

The line printer diagnostics verify

proper

operation

of

the printer when

it

is

connected

to

a 990 Computer.

These diagnostics greatly simplify

maintenance

and

troubleshooting,

whether performed by trained,

experienced

Texas

Instruments

Service Engineers

or

by the user's

maintenance personnel. The diag-

nostics provided verify the perfor-

mance

of

the line printer as well as the

interconnecting cable, the interface

module

and

the

CRU

interface with

the

computer

system.
