Assembly and Disassembly
CAUTION:
Always remove the power supply unit from the printer before working. Power is flowing
in the internal circuit board even if you turn the printer off with the power supply switch.
You can damage the printer if you work with the power supply still attached.
Remove all peripheral equipment connected to the printer before starting your work.
Do not perform any work that is not described in this chapter. Doing so can result in
injuries or damage to the printer.
Do not touch the FPC or the FFC pins with your hands.
Procedures
This chapter provides the procedures for assembling. Reverse them to disassemble the printer.
Assembly is organized into “Assembling the Mechanism Assembly (M-U675),” “Assembling the
Thermal Mechanism Assembly (M-T6000II),” and “Assembling the TM-H6000II.” Each section
is further divided into “Pre-assembly” and “Assembly.”
Do “Pre-assembly” steps first, and then do “Assembly” after you have assembled the parts into
units to some degree.
Pre-assembly Procedures
Pre-assembly of the slip B.O.F. detector assembly
1. Solder lead wires C, D, E to the slip B. O. F. detector assembly.
2. Insert the slip B. O. F. detector assembly into the slip insertion detector holder.

Adjusting and Setting
CAUTION:
❏ Always remove the power supply unit from the printer before working.
There is power flowing in the internal circuit board even if you turn off the printer power
supply switch. You can damage the printer if you work when the power supply is still
attached.
❏ Remove all peripheral equipment connected to the printer before starting your work.
❏ Do not perform any work that is not described in this chapter. Doing so can result in injuries
or damage to the printer.
❏ Do not touch the flexible plastic cable (FPC) or the FFC pins with your hands.
Phase adjustments are performed when you are partway through the assembly of the slip
printer mechanism. See page 2-48 for details.

Adjust the endorsement printer platen gap on the completed TM-H6000II printer unit. Use the
following steps to adjust the platen gap on the endorsement printer.
1. Open the unit cover. (See Page I-7 in the Appendix for details.)
2. Open the unit cover and open the clamshell mechanism. If a ribbon cassette is installed in
the endorsement printer, remove it. (See Page I-8 in the Appendix for details.)
3. Confirm that the print head unit is located on the right side of the printer. Connect the
power supply unit to the printer. Turn on the printer power switch.When the print head unit
(Ref#662) touches the left side of the printer, turn off the printer power switch. (See Figure 3-
12.) Then, confirm that the platen is closed, remove the power supply unit from the printer.
(This causes the arced surface of the endorsement head platen (Ref#736) to face the
endorsement printer unit.)
Note:
There are two types of endorsement head platen surfaces: arced and cut. (See Page 2-41) When
adjusting the gap with the platen, it is essential that the arced surface of the endorsement head platen
face the endorsement printer unit.
4. Use 0.55 mm and 0.60 mm thickness gauges to insert from directly above the printer, as
shown in the illustration below.
Figure 3-8
Screws
Figure 3-9
6. Use the thickness gauges to adjust the endorsement printer unit position so that the platen
gap is 0.6 ± 0.05 mm at the positions shown below. When doing so, be careful that the
thickness gauge does not overlap the endorsement head guide. (See Figure 3-11.)

❏ The 0.60 mm thickness gauge is pinched and will not fall between the platen and the
endorsement printer.
8. If you removed the ribbon cassette from the endorsement printer, re-install it. Close the
clamshell mechanism and close all other covers.
Adjust the slip printer platen gap on the completed TM-H6000II printer unit. Use the following
steps to adjust the platen gap on the slip printer.
1. Remove the carriage cover frame assembly. (See page I-2 in the Appendix for details.)
2. Remove the ribbon cassette cover. (See page I-5 in the Appendix for details.)
3. Confirm that the print head unit is located on the right side of the printer. Connect the
power supply unit to the printer. Turn on the printer power switch.When the print head unit
touches the left side of the printer, turn off the printer power switch. (See Figure 3-12.)
Then, confirm that the platen is closed, remove the power supply unit from the printer. (This
procedure closes the platen.)
Note:
When you are adjusting the platen gap, you must close the platen. There are instances where the
platen is open on this printer after assembly because of positioning with the gears and cams.
Therefore, you must always use these steps to close the platen.

Characters are printed by energizing the print solenoids at a timing corresponding to the head
carriage movement position, using the carriage motor phase change signal as a reference signal.
The print head unit moves approximately 0.339 mm with a one step rotation (7.5°) of the
carriage motor.
To print the number "2," print solenoid numbers 2 and 9 are energized in sync with the carriage
motor phase change signal. Next, print solenoid number 8 is energized in sync with TnH,
delayed by a half dot time interval. The number "2" is printed by repeating this process.

Clamshell mechanism
The clamshell mechanism consists of a platen lever unit, paper feed frame shaft, and paper feed
frame fixing lever. This mechanism is used in the event of a quality problem, such as a paper
jam, and when replacing the ribbon for the endorsement printer unit (option) built into the
lower part of the platen lever unit.

❏ Opening mechanism
1. Press the ➝ on the two paper feed frame fixing levers (indicated by "arrow a" in Figure
D-19.)
2. The paper feed frame fixing lever comes off the main frame, allowing the entire platen
lever unit to rotate on the paper feed frame shaft.
Main frame
Figure D-20
❏ Closing mechanism
1. When a paper jam or other problem has been fixed, or after the ribbon for the
endorsement printer unit is changed, rotate the entire platen lever unit in the opposite
direction from when the mechanism was opened.
2. Lightly press down on the upper part of the platen lever unit to lock the paper feed
frame fixing lever to the main frame.

When a slip is inserted along the right edge of the slip guide lower frame in the direction
indicated by the arrow, the slip paper goes in as far as the form stopper and is positioned. (See
Figure D-21.)
When the T.O.F. detector and B.O.F. detector determine that a slip has been inserted, the lever
drive coil is energized while the lever drive motor is rotated. At this time, the linkage between
the paper feed trigger attraction plate and lever drive ratchet wheel is disconnected, the lever
drive shaft and lever drive cam rotate, and the sub slip feed lever moves in the direction
indicated by arrow a. (See Figure D-21.) This pushes up the sub slip feed roller, compressing the
sub slip hold roller. At the same time as this, the sub slip feed lever moves the form stopper in
the direction indicated by arrow b (See Figure D-21.), completing preparations for feeding the
slip away from the form stopper slip path .

The slip feed mechanism gear assembly is comprised of the following parts:
The driving force of the paper feed motor is transmitted to the slip feed roller and slip hold roller
simultaneously via the gears, creating the force to feed the slip paper on the front and on the
back.
❏ Transmission gear
The rotation of the carriage transmission pulley, driven via the carriage transmission belt, is
used to feed the ribbon.
This ribbon feed mechanism only feeds the ribbon when the head carriage assembly is moved
from the right side to the left side.

Meshing of these gears transmits the driving force of the ribbon drive gear to the ribbon take-up
gear via the ribbon intermediate gear, rotating the ribbon take-up shaft mounted at the top in the
direction shown by arrow D. (See Figure D-25.)
The ribbon is fed when the ribbon feed roller in the ribbon cassette meshes with this ribbon take-
up shaft.
On the other hand, when the head carriage assembly moves from left to right, the carriage
transmission pulley rotates in the direction of arrow E, and the ribbon drive plate rotates in the
direction of arrow F around the ribbon reduction gear rotation shaft. Consequently, the ribbon
drive gear and ribbon intermediate gear no longer mesh, the ribbon take-up gear remains in
place, and the ribbon is not fed.

After the T.O.F. and B.O.F. detectors determine that a check has been inserted, the sub slip feed
roller and sub slip hold roller take hold of the check in an operation like that described for
positioning the slip paper. This prepares for movement of the form stopper in the direction
indicated by the arrow to feed the check. The MICR solenoid is then energized, moving the
MICR lever in the direction indicated by the arrow, and the MICR fixing mounted to the MICR
lever pushes the check against the MICR head.
Next, the paper feed motor rotates at the MICR reading speed in the same way as for slip paper
feed, transporting the check. MICR characters are magnetized when the MICR characters on the
check paper pass over the MICR magnet in the front of the MICR unit. The check sheet is
transported through the MICR unit to allow the MICR to read those characters.
In the event the MICR characters cannot be recognized during the MICR reading process, the
check is ejected out the rear (see Note 1).
In the event the MICR characters can be recognized, the check is fed to the position
corresponding to the endorsement printing format, it is positioned at the top for endorsement
printing, and endorsement printing is performed in the prescribed format by the endorsement
printer unit. The paper feed motor rotates the slip feed roller during endorsement printing,
feeding the check toward the rear.
Upon completion of endorsement printing, the check is fed to the position corresponding to the
format for printing on the front of the check, and the head carriage assembly prints in the
prescribed format on the front of the check. After printing, the check is fed forward and ejected,
completing the operation. The slip feed roller rotates during the front printing process, feeding
the check forward in the same way as for a slip (see Note 2).

The force of the thermal head against the platen acts as a downward force on the frame cover,
fixing the platen bearings to the positioning grooves provided in the left and right frames. The
grooves that support the thermal head support shafts are open to the rear surface of the head,
allowing the thermal head to move along the platen. Uniform force acts in the thermal head

If a new paper roll is loaded, the micro switch is pressed by the N.E. detector lever on the side of
the roll, causing it to go On.
When the amount of paper remaining on the roll is less than a certain amount, the tip of the N.E.
detector lever no longer makes contact with the side of the roll, and it rotates in the direction
indicated by arrow ➀, falling inside the paper roll core, causing the micro switch to go Off,
detecting that the paper roll is near the end.
The mounting screw for the N.E. detector holder fits into an oblong hole. The amount of paper
remaining when the near end is detected can be changed to one of two settings. With one
setting, the N.E. detector holder knob is pulled up and fixed in place, and with the other setting,
the N.E. detector holder knob is pressed down and fixed in place.

Printing Mechanism
The thermal head is in a position where the heating element can make contact with the platen.
The paper rolled around the platen is pressed against the thermal head heating element with the
prescribed amount of pressure. Printing is performed when the heating element generates heat.
A thin-film thermal head is used for this printer unit. The head consists of the head chip with a
heating element, the driver IC that drives and controls the heating element, a thermistor that
detects the thermal head temperature, a heat dissipation plate that prevents an abnormal rise in
heat by the head chip, a flexible plastic cable (FPC) for signal wiring, and the head support shaft
(pin).
The thermal head is connected by the FFC to the main circuit board via a connector. A cross
section of the thermal head heating element and cross section of the paper roll (heat sensitive
paper) are shown in the Figure D-45.
➀ The electrodes for the respective corresponding dots are energized at the prescribed electrical
pulse by the printing signal.
➂ The thermal energy generated by the resistors is transferred to the heat sensitive layer on the
surface of the paper, and it changes color.

Cutter Mechanism
This unit has an autocutter mechanism that cuts paper automatically, and a manual cutter that
allows the paper to be cut manually.
Autocutter mechanism
The basic principle of the autocutter mechanism is a scissors-like movement where the paper is
cut when two blades pass each other. The autocutter mechanism on this unit is of the type
where the cutter blades are separate, eliminating the necessity of feeding the paper through a slit
in the autocutter mechanism. The fixed blade and movable blade are completely separated
when the frame cover is opened. The fixed blade is located on the frame cover, and the movable
blade mechanism is located on the frame.
Fixed blade
Figure D-48
Fixed blade
Frame cover
Figure D-49
Fixed blade
Thermal mechanism cover
Figure D-50
A micro switch to detect the position of the fixed blade is mounted to the paper cutter cover.
The drive gear is integral with a cam, which turns the micro switch on and off. The paper cutter
motor and micro switch are connected to the intermediate circuit board by the paper cutter lead
wire.
A movable blade holder, spacer, movable blade, movable blade retainer spring, and a movable
blade spring washer are located on the movable blade shaft, which is fit onto the paper cutter
frame, and are held to the paper cutter frame by a push nut.
Driving gear
Figure D-51
Autocut operation
The frame cover can be closed when the movable blade is at the standby position. When the
frame cover is closed, the shaft located on the frame pushes up the blade shutter, exposing the
fixed blade. A portion of the fixed blade makes contact with a portion of the paper cutter frame,
determining the relative positions of the fixed blade and movable blade. The autocutter can
perform the autocut operation from this position.
➀ The motor rotates clockwise when voltage is applied between the paper cutter motor
terminals.
➁ The drive pin moves the movable blade toward the fixed blade.
➂ The movable blade and fixed blade intersect, cutting the paper from the right edge.
➃ The movable blade is retracted with a certain amount of paper to be cut remaining at the left
edge.
➄ The micro switch detects when the movable blade returns to the standby position, at which
time it stops rotation, and the movable blade stops.
Normally, when the unit is used and the movable blade is not at the standby position, the paper
cutter motor is rotated in the opposite direction to return the movable blade to the standby
position. The cutter motor gear has a knob that allows the movable blade to be manually moved
when it is not returned to the standby position by the driving force of the motor. Open the unit
cover to turn the knob. See Figure 1-15 on page 1-24 for the procedure to turn the cutter blade
knob.
The paper cutter cover has a window for checking that the movable blade has been returned to
the standby position. The movable blade is in the standby position when the pin can be seen in
the window.
Check window

Manual cutter
The manual cutter cuts off the paper if the autocutter mechanism does not function normally.
The manual cutter is attached to the paper cutter cover with screws.

Cover Mechanism
The thermal mechanism cover is mounted to the frame cover to provide adequate cover
strength.
The printer, including the autocutter, does not operate normally if the frame cover is not
properly closed. Therefore, the unit has a cover open detection mechanism to determine when
the frame cover is not properly closed.

Reset circuit
Stable operation of the CPU and GA requires a certain reset period immediately after power up.
All operations return to their initial status after the reset operation. The reset IC (U1) on this
printer monitors the logic power source (VCC, standard output: +5V), and sets the reset signal to
LOW when the VCC is 4.2V or lower. The reset signal is restored from LOW to HIGH 50 ms
after the VCC exceeds 4.2V. The CPU and GA operate normally after reset.
Reset also can be performed by sending the reset signal from the host interface.

The HEADCOM1 common driver signal driven by GA (U30) drives the Q7 MOSFET. Since it is
necessary to drive Q7 at high speed (100 KHz or less), a speed-up circuit is added (Q47
periphery, pulls out electric gate load of Q7). The operating principle of the speed-up circuit is
not described here. The relationship of the HEADCOM1 signal and SHEAD signals is shown
below. The chopping cycle of the HEADCOM signal differs, depending on the voltage and
temperature, but is virtually the same as the waveform in the diagram.

Since the driver is of the constant-current type, the motor can be directly driven by setting the
peak current. The peak current is set as described below, using the logical level of terminals I0
and I1.

At this time, VREF uses the DA output of the CPU (U3), and is set to an arbitrary value (0 - VCC)
by firmware. RS is the resistance value (0.68 Ω) of R78 and R101. Accordingly, the current to the
motor is calculated by the logic level of I0, I1 (judged by VREF1, 2 terminal voltage).

The circuit configuration is the same as the carriage motor driver, but the current setting is fixed,
and is changed between two levels by the output (PF_HOLD) of the GA (U30) port. The current
calculation procedure is described below.
Current = VREF/(10 × Rs)
RS: 1Ω
VREF: VCC or voltage obtained by voltage division ratio of R105 and R106.
As for the carriage motor driver circuit, the driver IC is operated by setting the 24VSW1 signal
HIGH.
Rotation of the lever motor starts changeover of the paper path and the platen open/close
operation. An NPN Darlington transistor is used for lever motor drive. Due to the structure of
the lever motor, a brake circuit is not required. The lever motor is driven using the ELV_M1
output signal from the GA.
The lever motor rotates when LEV_M1 = LOW. The motor cannot be driven when the VCC-
PWR is not being supplied. Furthermore, the Q41 NPN Darlington transistor incorporates a CE
Zener to perform kickback protection.

To control the MICR solenoid, it is necessary to apply two voltage levels (24V, 13V) in the
opposite directions. Therefore, the MICR solenoid has a complicated circuit configuration. The
MICR solenoid is driven by MICR_SOL1 and MICR_SOL2 (output signals from the CPU).
MICR_SOL1 determines the direction in which electricity is sent, and MICR_SOL2 drives the
MICR solenoid. The logic is described in the following table.

When the 24VSW2 GA output terminal goes HIGH, 24VA and VCC-PWR2 are supplied,
enabling the driver IC for the paper feed motor to operate. The current can be set at the logic
level described in the table below in this status. Firmware-based DA output of the CPU is used
to set the current (VREF1, 2 terminal voltage).
The VREF is set by firmware (range: 0 - VCC) to control the current. Constant current operation
is controlled at that current setting. The logic level of PH1, 2 phase data is changed to drive the
circuit.

The output voltage is determined by the potential division of R82 and R85.
The input voltage of 24V for the power supply circuit is supplied to U11 through the R2 fuse
resistor (KOA RF73B2HTE0.51). R3 may burn out in the event of a malfunction in the U11 area.
R3 also will burn out in the event of excessive VCC voltage (Approx. 7.5 V or more). This fuse
resistor cannot be replaced. Therefore, the circuit cannot be repaired by replacing the R3 in the
event it has burned out due to a circuit malfunction.

To drive the EP power source circuit, the firmware sends instructions to the GA to activate
24VSW2, causing 24V input to be supplied. The EP power source is started when the CPU
output port (EP_ON) goes to the LOW status.
The CN18 external power source is connected to the CN29 switch. Q61 is Off when the switch is
turned On. C605 is not charged, so voltage between gate and source of Q61 is “0.” Therefore
current does not flow. After that, voltage between gate and source rises gradually at a time
constant determined by C605 and R245 to increase the output voltage slowly. This helps to
suppress the rush of current to the capacitor.

Types of switches
The printer has two switches. As shown by the circuit for the display functions in the previous
section, input is enabled by two signals (SW_SLIP, SW_RPT). LOW status is input when the
panel switch is pressed. HIGH is input when the switch is not pressed.
❏ GA operation monitor
The CPU (U3) monitors GA clock oscillation. The CPU firmware reads a specific GA register at
an arbitrary time, and compares that value with the value previously read. If the results of the
comparison are different, the system is judged to be operating normally. The GA changes the
register value using clock oscillation. Therefore, if it is operating normally, the register value
continuously changes.
CPU runaway causes a WDT (watchdog timer) overflow, resulting in output of LOW status
from the CPU WDT output terminal. This is connected to the GA TIMI input terminal, and
when the GA detects the LOW status for a certain time, it goes to the reset status and is not
restored.
When the thermal head becomes abnormally hot, the GA TIMI input terminal goes LOW, and
the GA is reset and is not restored. The firmware judges this as a GA malfunction, and processes
it as an unrecoverable error.
GA TIMI input terminal also goes LOW when the impact head becomes abnormally hot, causing
the GA to go to the reset status, which will not be restored. The firmware judges this as a GA
malfunction, and processes it as an unrecoverable error.
Interfaces
This printer has a variety of interfaces. There is a dedicated connector (CNB) for the EPSON
customer display. A general-purpose drawer can be connected to CN9 and used. The optional
interface board allows communication with more interfaces.
Interface Boards
This printer can accommodate an exchangeable interface board. The following types of interface
boards can be installed. As new interfaces are developed, they may become available for this
printer.
DM
The EPSON DM series customer display can be connected to CN8. However, the DM can only
operate with CN8 when the UB-S01 serial interface is used.

When interface pin 6 is used as the reset signal, the printer goes to the reset status when the RS-
232C level goes to the MARK status. When interface pin 25 is used as the reset signal, the printer
is reset when the RS-232C level and SPACE TTL level go HIGH.
• The DIP switch settings other than 2-7 and 2-8 are only valid when the power is turned on and
when the interface is reset. After this, changing a setting does not change the function.
Turning DIP switch 2-7 or 2-8 On while the power is on will cause the printer to be reset, due to
the signal line status. Therefore, it is recommended that these switches are not operated while
the power is on.
• Setting the print density to level 3 or level 4 has a tendency to reduce the print speed.

WARNING:
If an accident occurs when the power switch cover is attached, unplug the power cord
from the outlet immediately to avoid fire or shock.
You can use the enclosed power switch cover to make sure the power switch is not accidentally
pressed. The illustration below shows the power switch cover installed.
If you need to turn the power on or off when the cover is installed, you can insert a thin tool into
one of the holes in the cover to operate the switch.

ERROR
When this light is on but not blinking, it means that the printer is offline. Check to see if a cover
is open. When this light is blinking, there is an error. If you see this light blinking, turn off the
printer for a few seconds and then turn it back on. If the light is still blinking, see
“Troubleshooting Using the ERROR LED” in Chapter 1 .
PAPER OUT
This light comes on when the printer is out or nearly out of roll paper. The printer has a paper
end detector, and it also has a near-end detector (which can be adjusted) to warn you that the
printer is nearly out of paper. See previous section if you want to adjust this detector.
This light blinks during the self-test printing standby state or macro execution standby state
(when the macro execution command is used).
SLIP
This light blinks when the printer is ready to receive slip paper. It stays on during printing on
slip paper and blinks again when slip paper should be removed.
FEED
Use this button to feed roll paper or to start a roll paper self test.
RELEASE
Use this button to release slip paper or to start a slip paper self test.
