3.4.2 Carriage structure
1) BJ cartridge attachment section
Two BJ cartridges can be installed on the carriage of this printer.
The two cartridge holders on both sides move with the locking lever which fixes the
BJ cartridge to the carriage.
When a BJ cartridge is fixed to the carriage, the carriage ribbon cable signal
contacts are pressed against the bubble jet head signal contacts and the printing
signal is transmitted from the logic board.
2) Carriage driver section
The stepping-type carriage motor drives the carriage horizontally across the paper
with the carriage belt. The photo interrupter’s home position sensor provided at the
back of the carriage detects the home position edge as the initial position. Then, the
carriage is controlled by a stepping pulse sent to the carriage motor.
The nozzles of the BJ cartridge are positioned at the maintenance jet receiving
section when the carriage is located at the home position.
3) Paper feed motor switching section
The paper feed motor drives either the purge unit, paper feed, or sheet feeder
according to the position of the carriage. When the carriage is not at the extreme
right end position of the printer, the slide lock pin of the purge unit will lock the
transmission arm operation.
When the carriage is moved farther right from the capping position (extreme right
end position of the printer), the slide lock pin is unlocked. Switching of the rotation
direction of the paper feed motor in the unlocked state selects whether the purge
unit or sheet feeder is driven by the paper feed motor. If the feed roller turns in the
feed direction while the slide lock pin is unlocked, the transmission arm gear is
rotated until it reaches the sheet feeder drive gear, and the paper feed motor drives
the sheet feeder.
If the feed roller is rotated in the direction opposite of feeding while the slide lock pin
is unlocked, the transmission arm gear is rotated until it reaches the purge drive
gear, and the paper feed motor drives the purge unit.
