DRV-GEN5 – RICOH GEN5 Printhead Driver Board
DRV-GEN5 is a printhead driver board for RICOH GEN5 printheads, MH5420 and MH5440. It connects to AEWA Print Manager Board via optical fiber cable which makes the data transfer immune to electromagnetic interference.
Performance
- Optical fiber interface: 600 Mbits/sec.
- Maximum Printing Speed: 60 KHz
Features
- Supports RICOH GEN5 printheads, MH5420 and MH5440.
- Generates accurate printhead driving voltages which are factory programmed. User can adjust printhead voltages further for special ink types.
- Correct voltage sequencing during power ON and power OFF.
- Grey scale printing, 8 levels.
- Printing waveform is generated and programmed with ApmbWave software and stored in EEPROM.
- Can generate tickle (or shake) pulse during zero data (or no data) phase to keep nozzles alive.
- Accurate printhead temperature control, over temperature protection.
- Firmware update over optical fiber interface.
- Single 24V input.
- SHA-1 Encryption for firmware copy protection.
- Small footprint, 102mm x 76mm.
- Easy software integration with APMB SDK which supports native C++ and .NET programming languages such as C# or Visual Basic.
