Thermal Micro Printer Solution Based on LM3S600

In recent years, the segmentation trend of China’s printer market has been further highlighted, and customer needs have been further personalized. With the continuous improvement of people’s living needs and the acceleration of market segmentation, the miniaturization of printers has become a development trend, and the demand for micro printers by industry users continues to grow. With the advantages of low noise, high speed, high reliability, and clear printed characters, thermal micro-printing has been used in POS terminal systems, banking systems, mobile police systems, mobile government systems, medical instruments, car meters, handheld devices, etc. The field is widely used and shows a sudden trend. In addition, thermal micro-punching is gradually replacing needle-type micro-punching in some fields, and the thermal-sensitive micro-punching market is further expanded.

Most of the existing thermal micro-printing control boards in the domestic market are designed with 51 single-chip microcomputers, which greatly restrict the design of hardware and software because of their low resources and low performance. As a result, the existing thermal-sensitive micro-beating control board is large in size and poor in flexibility, which violates the characteristics of small size and wide application of thermal-sensitive micro-beating, and greatly restricts the promotion of thermal-sensitive micro-beating.
This solution adopts the 32 ARM microcontroller LM3S600 (formerly Lumen Norry Company) of American TI Company as the main control chip. flexibility. And with a wealth of peripherals, which greatly simplifies the hardware design, reduces the board area, and effectively improves the flexibility of the application.
