4-3-6 Thermal Pinter Circuit
First, the CPU sends a serial clock and serial data 832bits (104bytes) to the shift register of the TPH. Second,
the CPU send a Latch signal to the TPH. Then the Data of both shift register#1 and #2 are moved to the
Latch register. After that the CPU sends a strobe signal to the TPH. Then the TPH outputs the serial data.
Each strobe signal controls the each dot of TPH.
