Platen-open detector mechanism

The platen-open detector mechanism has a

microswitch

which detects whether the

platen

open (printing impossible because the

thermal

head

is away from the

platen

) or closed

(printing possible). The

microswitch

can be OFF only when the

frame, platen

is perfectly

closed, and at all other times is ON.

Figure 2-13 Platen-open detector circuit

Head temperature detector mechanism

The

thermal head

has a

thermistor

to detect the temperature of the

thermal head

Black mark detector mechanism

The black mark mechanism is a device which can be attached inside the paper guide mechanism
to determine the printing position when using pre-printed thermal paper. This mechanism uses
the reflective photo sensor.
