Outline of mechanism

This printer mechanism is divided roughly into the following seven blocks:

• Power transmission

• Sensor

• Print head

• Paper feed

• Ribbon cartridge drive

• Frame

• Motor

For example external control circuits attached to this printer, please see the appropriate operating
manuals.

Mechanism and operation principles

The mechanism and operating principles are described for five blocks out of seven (i.e., excluding
the frame and motor).

2-3-1 Power transmission mechanism

This mechanism transmits a motor driving force to the head assembly, paper feed roller and ribbon
cartridge.

The head assembly is driven by the cylinder cam assembly connected to the gear box assembly
which encloses the motor.

The driving force transmitted to the cylin-
der cam assembly is sent to the PF cam
gear and PF6D cam through the paper
feed gear. Either the driving force trans-
mitted to the PF cam gear or the driving
force transmitted the PF6D cam can be
selected, depending on the operation sta-
tus, and is sent to the clutch gear through
the sector gear assembly.

The driving force of the clutch gear is
transmitted to the clutch wheel connected
to the paper feed roller, driving the paper
feed roller.

The driving force of the PF cam gear is
transmitted to the worm, worm gear and
ribbon drive pin respectively, so that the
ribbon cartridge is driven by the ribbon
drive pin.
