NM2004-UA10A
The NM2004-UA10A is a flat thin-film thermal printhead with a built-in heat history control function, suited for general
purpose compact printers as well as label printers with printing speeds up to 10 inch / second.
Applications
Bar code label printers
Ticket printers
General purpose compact printers
Features
1) Special glazed components for high speed, high quality printing.
2) Our heat history control circuit reduces the load on the printer to control heat
history.
3) Using a hard conductive film as a protective film on the heating element offers excellent resistance to electrostatic damage.

Pin assignments
Added functions
SET :Sets all data to “HIGH”. (Usable for preheating, etc.)
OR-ON :Set at “HIGH” when considering the adjoining of the previous columns; otherwise set at “LOW”.
E-OUT :Outputs “HIGH” when a data transmission error occurs inside the head.
INC :Supports the increment function from level 1 to level 6. One level is incremented for one pulse. (See Fig. 2)
RESET :Sets all data at “LOW”. Clears data when printing is resumed after a pause. (See Fig. 2)
Note:Signals of SET, INC, START, and RESET detect the falling edge; the START signal transmits data to the driver IC at the falling edge and latches at the
rising edge.
For two-part split printing, enter INC after 34 µ seconds of START7. (See Fig. 2)
