July 2020

We updated some capabilities of our printer controllers:

Starting from firmware release 1.15:

- Almost all supported language sets enabled by default

- QR code generation is now part of the chip feature set via ESC commands

- Paper out and Temperature high are now events pushed to the host

- Font attributes can now be combined: e.g. Italic and Underlined

- Bitmaps can now be stored on the chips extra flash space and also printed from flash

We can provide complete interface boards with USB, Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE interfaces besides the standard TTL serial connection.

Norden Logic released a brand new family of tiny powerful 32-bit ARM based thermal printer controllers. The NL02x range of controllers supports 58mm and 80mm print heads selectable via software command. Print heads from all major manufacturer on the market can be used - please see the respective datasheets for more details. A variant version of the controller also supports thermal printers with auto cutters. The first chip in the NL02x range is the NL022. Printer Evaluation boards for a variety of supported print heads are available to order as well.

The NL022 has been designed and tested, among others, for the new SEIKO LOW POWER print head: LTP02-245-C1.

The controllers are rated for industrial as well as consumer based applications.

Chip Family:

NL022 - SMD Chip supports many 58mm and 80mm Thermal Print Heads (3.2V - 9V)

NL023 - ZIF Package 100% Pin Compatible with Legacy ZYTP58-FT6B with new ARM core and faster printing routines (5V - 9V)

NL024 - SMD Chip supports selected 58mm and 80mm Thermal Print Heads with Auto-Cutters (5V - 24V)
