First, the motor spins driving cylinder with cam, this cam moves the head back and forth making a "machine gun" noise.
Simultaneously, the same motor spins the gear for moving the ink ribbon. Every head move back and forth, the pulling rod advances the paper. The result is printed on 57mm-wide paper tape. If it doesn't move its head well, it means that you need to open the computer remember not to tear the expansion ribbon cable from the connector - open the casing in few centimeters, disconnect ribbon and proceed, pay attention to bottom keyboard ribbons too , then remove the silver shiny cover from printer and lubricate the leading cylinder and driving rods. Don't use WD40 for it.
WARNING: The head's ribbon cable breaks very easily, so don't bend it too much. For the future: The ribbon cartridge is called ERC Microcassette recorder While the printer was a precision mechanics, this is even more complex. The main motor has magnetic tachogenerator to coordinate speed and counter. Additional motor moves the head to tape using the screw thread mechanism. This way, the recorder can operate back and forth by control only with software. A typical fault is fatigue of a belt which transfers rotation from motor to the mechanism. This is a piece of precise mechanical part, so don't use excessive force here. In my unit, unfortunately I had to re-work one bolt's head to unscrew it. First of all, the belt: 50mm in diameter, 1x1 or 0. From Epson HX Technical Reference Manual 5. Remove this aluminium part service name: Clinched cassette support plate holding brass wheel Pressure-fitted cassette wheel , taking care not to loose bolts and wheels.
Remove the old belt from wheels. Replace the belt, Check does it run smoothly. The belt should go from the motor parallel to the connector side, then to the brass wheel, then it should go back to the motor, touching the smaller wheel Pulley - the small wheel should be outside of the belt's loop. Replace the aluminum part, fasten the bolts. Clean the rotating magnet and the sensor using soft brush. Replace the speed sensor. Restore distance tubes and bolts. Check the cylindrical magnet by rotating the brass wheel and observing does the motor shaft run inside speed sensor - it should not scratch the detector during spinning and it should spin without problems. If it gets stuck - move the sensor a bit to center it. Repeat until it works requires more time if bigger force was used to remove bolts, be patient here. If any wires fell off the board during speed sensor alignment, now its time to resolder them. Replace PCB and its bolts with distance. Two smaller distances may require to be glued to the PCB use very small amount of a weak glue - this is temporary to be installable easier.
Close the casing. BASIC programs are usually distributed by text. It can be fed to the computer using serial port by rs cable. Programs in machine code are very rare and sometimes distributed on the Internet with BASIC loaders. HXTape is a tool to make tapes waves under Linux, I haven't tested it and it seems that it requires Generally tapes, because they are micro-cassettes, are recorded in a computer as it's harder and harder to get decks usually portable for them. Driving the cartridge-type tape recorder is purely automatic, program-based. There is a built-in "tape recorder mode", press Ctrl-PF1 to get to it. The screen will show tape counter position. Then: PF1 - Fast forward PF2 - Slow forward PF3 - Stop PF4 - Rewind PF5 - Exit this mode. Like in a sticker under PF keys. You can also use WIND command to rewind tape. The saving is made by. and it saves instantly. If the floppy disk is conencted, it is saved on floppy, then microcassette, and if it's not found, external cassette output.
The name mustnot contain characters:. Loading: Just LOAD loads the first BASIC program from microcassette, or ROM cartridge if present. It is also possible to look for program:. To load from other device, you can make the "device; program name" notation, while devices are CAS0 microcassette , CAS1 external tape , PAC0 ROM cartridge , A, B, C, D disk drives. To print something on the printer, use LPRINT command. Loading from PC's serial port Loading from RS port is useful when transmitting programs from the PC. Here is the way to do it the most simple way, but it's a bit slow. There are other methods, like using additional flow control wires a full cable or with internal loops in PC side of serial port.
Making the cable. You can use 5-pin DIN plug, only 3 pins are used. Warning: Pinout belo shows connectors at the computers , so you need a male DIN8 or even DIN5 plug and female 9-pin plug for serial port. The pins should correspond to these, i. pin marked as 1 on the male DIN plug should not fit to pin 3 in this picture. If in doubt because Epson manuals show pin numbers both in plugs and in connectors in different places - check in which pin the GND is. In the PC, configure the terminal program e. Minicom or WIndows' HyperTerminal to the proper serial port, baud rate, parity and stop bits. Do not use any handshaking. Now the most important parts: Loading. The command for loading is:. Filling the BLPSC: B is a number meaning speed: 0 - bps, 1 - bps, 2 - bps, 3 - bps, 4 - bps, 5 - bps, 6 - bps. A very safe, but slow option is bps.
L is number of bits, 7 or 8. P is parity: N none , E Even or O Odd S is stop bits, 1 or 2. For example is "B" ignoring CtS and CD, using DSR, RtS high level , F ignores everything, only notifies the system by high level on RtS. will load bps, 8-bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, ignoring data lines. After confirming the command, order PC terminal program to send text file with BASIC code. After the file is sent, press the BREAK on the computer and LIST newly loaded program. You can use it or save to cassette. The exact tables of characters in BLPSC is shown in this archived page. WARNING: According to the schematic, POUT is output while PIN is input.
