2.1.1 Printer Mechanism
The printer mechanism of this product consists of the printhead, carriage mechanism,
paper loading mechanism, paper feed mechanism, and the ink system.
As the conventional models, this product is equipped with two DC motors; one is used
to drive the paper loading and paper feed mechanisms, and also the pump mechanism
that includes the carriage lock mechanism. The other one is used to drive the carriage
mechanism. Paper is fed from the rear at the ASF unit with the LD roller and Retard
roller, and ejected to the front at the tray.
