CASTILLO, N. V.; TORRES, D.  and  GUTIERREZ, H.. Development and testing tool for paper handling and/or printer devices. J. appl. res. technol [online]. 2003, vol.1, n.1, pp.40-52. ISSN 2448-6736.

A useful development and testing tool for Hewlett Packard paper handling and/or printer devices is presented. The system provides a microprocessor based general architecture integrated by two PCB cards and a software application, used to improve new product design and testing. Paper handling devices operation is based on DC motors, stepper motors and sensors components, so a graphical user interface was developed in order to configure, drive, and test them. The implemented tool allows a time reduction greater than 50% for the development and test of prototypes.

Keywords : Tool development; paper handling and printer devices; hard-software codesign; testing.
