On the X axis driver STEP goes to pin 2 and DIR goes to pin 5.

Note there are usally 3 GRN pins on the ardunio board it doesn't matter which one you use.

On the lower right there are 3 pins GND (ground) STEP and DIR(direction).

The Power in - + pins go to the power supply and you need to get these around the right way and up to 30 volts DC.

Motor coil A and motor coil B connect to the stepper motor It doesn't matter which way around as long as A goes to one coil and B to the other coil.

In step three we identified the wiring for the stepper motors, so we can plug them in first. First we will look at the easy driver board, many of the pins are not used in this project. The wiring is pretty easy, use your dupont connectors and and start plugging stuff in.

I found that the easy drivers do get quite hot so a bit of thermal grease and an old heat sink helped keep things cool.

Make sure that you check the polarity of your power supply and wire it up correctly or you will have lots of smoke and swearing.

Next I identified the wires coming out of the power supply and the voltage which turn out to be 28 volts.

Repeat the process with other 2 motor leads and the other motor.

Because th leads are the same colour I know that is on coil.

Once that is worked out, I cut a dupoint lead in half and soldered each end on to the matching pair of wires.

If it was open circuit, grab another wire and check that, you are looking for a pair of coils inside the motor, so you need to match up to ends of each coil (which are connected to to each wire).

Grab any 2 wires on you stepper motor and check if you get a reading you should get either open circuit or a low resistance.

Set your multimeter to the 200 ohms setting.

The next step will show you where all the wires go but first we need to identify the four wires on our stepper motor. Once that was done it was time to start using some of those dupoint wires, they make every thing very easy to wire up Just pull a pin out of the headers and plug it in if you want to make the end of the wire male. The emulation can be in conflict with the driver being used.The first thing to do is to work out where the Arduino, relay and easy drivers are all going to fit, so I removed all the old electronics and made up a laser cut board for everything to mount on. It may also be worth a check of the emulation mode and see if it is Epson or IBM.

How is the form layout stored? Can you access it and see if there is a format/syntax error in the control character layout template?ĭoes the software for the voucher allow for a set-up string to be sent to the printer? The extra line feed could be a syntax error in that set-up string. Where it appears at the top of the form, it kind of points to someone laying out the voucher form header.

Several Chr$ (10) commands are often used in a series to create a header space if a form itself does not have a layout space to account for the perforated margin. This is different than Chr$ (13) carriage return. If the syntax in the form template is not correct, you would get a visible printed "10" instead of a control character "10" that would be one line feed. RE: Why number "10" character appear on the top,left corner of my printout of Panasonic KX-P11 misseditbythatmuch (TechnicalUser) 1 Nov 21 07:04Ī Chr$ (10) or chr(10) would typically, but not absolutely, be a line feed. The bottom line is, a little more information would help. If you are printing pre-prepared documents, that '10' could actually be in the document. Or the app could be assuming specific control characters for the printer. What app are you printing from? As xwb says, you could have it defined in a header for the document.

If you use a printer driver that isn't an exact match for your printer, it will still try to print what is sent to it, so it would try to print any control sequences that it didn't understand. Old dot matrix printers use ANSI control sequences to do things like form feeds, line feeds, and character positioning.

That '10' could be a printer control character that's being sent to the printer, but not being interpreted correctly. One cause of that can be using the wrong printer driver.
