Control Boards Is Designed To Be Used To Control Our Thermal Printer
BD2-2880U
Once you accept your quote and confirm your order, we prepare by retrieving related parts and components from our inventory. Anything we do not currently have in stock is sourced.
Upon receipt, all parts are visually inspected for damage and then photographed to document their condition. Parts acquired from vendors must meet our quality standards.
Industrial computer boards and other parts we are equipped to evaluate are tested to verify functionality and discover possible damage.
Industrial computer boards have all components with low MTBF numbers (such as capacitors and connectors) replaced and are washed in our PCB cleaner to remove dust and grime.
Industrial computer boards are fully diagnosed and repaired by our engineers. Logs of the problems encountered and solutions implemented are recorded.
Industrial computer boards have all I/O connections rigorously tested to ensure that everything is working properly before the board is certified as ready to ship.
After photos are taken to document the exterior condition of the part, it is packaged and sent to the customer. ESD-safe materials are used to protect sensitive equipment on its journey.
Electronics Finder is a website of GID Industrial, an ISO 9001:2015-certified company that has specialized in servicing industrial computer boards and providing other industrial products for sectors including manufacturing, defense, aerospace, entertainment, healthcare, and more by utilizing our combined skills and vast international network of trusted suppliers since our founding in 2015.

5.1 Specifications
VCC : 5V ±5% Approx. 130 mA
VP : 4.2V ~ 8.5V Approx. 1.5A (Peak : Approx. 4A) when 7.2V
Ordinal Voltage is to be 7.2V (Max). 8.5V is a voltage that is right after charging.
8.5V cannot be used for ordinal voltage.
5.2 Precautions
(1) Design the product to supply power to Vcc before VP when power is supplied to this control
board.
(2) Design the product to turn off the power for Vcc after VP when power is turned off.
(3) Make sure to turn off the power in case of connecting/disconnecting connectors.
(4) Make sure to use Vcc and VP following their specifications.
(5) Make sure to use this control board connecting all of terminals between VP and P-GND.

Data input method : 8 bit parallel signal (DATA0~7)
Control signals : ACK, BUSY, STB, FAULT, PE, RESET
6.2 Explanation of Input/Output Signals
DATA0~7 : 8 bit parallel signal (Positive logic)
STB : Strobe signal to read 8 bit data (Negative logic)
RESET : Signal to reset control board (Negative logic)
ACK : 8 bit data request signal. Pulse signal output at the end of the BUSY
signal (Negative logic)
BUSY : Signal to indicate BUSY state of the printer. Input new data for “LOW”
(Positive logic)
FAULT : Signal which is made “LOW” when printer is in alarm state.
(Negative logic)
In this case all the control logics within the printer stop functioning.
PE : Signal which is output when paper runs out. (Positive logic)

6.5 Data Receiving Control
When BUSY signal is “LOW”, data from the host can be received. When it being “HIGH”, data
cannot be received.
6.6 Buffering
This control board incorporates 2K byte buffer.
Therefore, big data can be buffered in input buffer, and the host side can be released immediately.

BD2-2880/2890 User’s Manual
7.2 Explanation of Input/Output Signals
(1) RXD
Serial receiving data signal. On occurrence of framing error, overrun error, or parity error, the
data is printed as “?”.
(2) DTR
When this signal is READY, write data or a command. When they are written in BUSY, overrun
error is occurred and data is ignored. Data can be written into the input buffer even when the
printer is busy printing. A BUSY also occurs when the printer is powered on, in test print, in
Online mode, or being reset.
(3) TXD
If data remaining in the printer's input buffer is 256 bytes or less, the printer transfers a DC3
(13H: Data Receive Not Ready) signal to the host. If data in the input buffer exceeds 256 bytes,
the printer transfers a DC1 (11H: Data Receive Ready) signal to the host.
(4) GND
Common GND on the circuit.
7.3 Error Detection
Parity, framing, and overrun are detected. On detection of any error, the data are stored in the
buffer as “?”.
(1) Framing Error
With “space” state having been detected on detection of a stop bit, error takes place.
The data are stored in the buffer as “?”.
(2) Parity Error
With an error having been detected under specifying parity check, the data is stored in the buffer
as “?”.
(3) Overrun Error
On detection of an overrun error, the data are stored in the buffer as “?”.
7.4 Data Receiving Control
When DTR/DSR control having been selected, with BUSY signal at “LOW”, data from the host
side are received. With the signal at “HIGH”, they can not be received.
When DTR/DSR control not having been selected, after X-ON transmission, data is received
from the host side. No transmission of data can take place after X-OFF is transmitted.

concerned.
