(b) When a dedicated power supply is used
If the print target detector current consumption is more than 80 mA, furnish a dedicated
power supply. In this instance, make wiring connections and perform setup as indicated
below.
(i) Print target detector wiring method
(ii) Setup procedure
Turn OFF switch SW2-5 on the EZJ95 board (terminal).
(Switch 2 is inside the cover. Do not operate it unless you have finished the
service education.)

* The minimum value for the time of preparing for printing varies with the print dot matrix,
calendar setup, and count setup. Approximate time values are indicated in the table below.
One-scan time=
(vertical dot count + character width) x ink drop use percentage
excitation frequency (kHz)
N: (Integer that satisfies the equation one-scan time x N) >= a
K: 3 (ms)
Excitation frequency:68.9 (In the case of 65 μm nozzle, JP-K67)
:90.9 (In the case of 40 μm nozzle, JP-K67)
:28.1 (In the case of 100 μm nozzle, JP-K67)

The required time is precisely calculated using the following formula. It varies with the
pre-selected vertical dot count, character width, and ink drop use percentage.
Time required for preparing for printing = (One-scan time x (N+1)) + K (ms)
