KPRINT2 - Konica Minolta Printhead Driver Board

KPRINT2

KPRINT2 is a printhead driver board for Konica Minolta KM1024i and KM1800i printheads. 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, KM1024i printhead: 39KHz, 60 KHz with data packing.
  • Maximum Printing Speed, KM1800i printhead: 27KHz, 90 KHz with data packing.

Features

  • Supports Konica Minolta KM1024i and KM1800i printheads.
  • 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 voltage with reverse polarity, over voltage, over current and surge current protection.
  • SHA-1 Encryption for firmware copy protection.
  • Small footprint, 90mm x 85mm.
  • Easy software integration with APMB SDK which supports native C++ and .NET programming languages such as C# or Visual Basic.
  • Compatible with APRINT software.
