Carriage Motion Area and Speed Control
The carriage motion area is shown in Figure 2-60. This is mainly divided into three areas: 1) acceleration
area, 2) printable area, and 3) deceleration area.
The printer has six carriage speeds (Refer to Table 2-36.).

Figure 2-60. Carriage Motion Area
1. Acceleration Control
When the carriage speed is O, the carriage is accelerated for 60 steps using 2-2 phase switching.
When the speed is or 2, the carriage is accelerated for 48 steps using 2-2 phase switching.
When the speed is 3, 4, or 5, the carriage is accelerated for 48 steps using 1-2 phase switching.
2.
Constant Speed Control
Within the printable area, the carriage moves at a constant speed except when the logic seeking function
is active.
3. Deceleration Control
When the speed is O, the carriage is decelerated for 60 steps using 2-2 phase switching.
When the speed is 1 or 2, the carriage is decelerated for 48 steps using 2-2 phase switching.
When the speed is 3, 4, or 5, the carriage is decelerated for 48 steps using 1-2 phase switching.
4. High Speed Skip (constant speed + high speed skip)
When spaces
continue for 9 characters or more during text printing
high speed skipping will
be performed. This function is shown in Figure 2-61 a) and is used to shorten the printing time.
a) Acceleration control : 2-2 phase switching is performed for four characters so that the carriage speed
changes from each speed to the constant speed (3600
b) Constant speed control : The carriage is moved at 3600
c) Deceleration control : Margin for one character is set so that the carriage speed changes from 3600
to each stable speed while printing four characters.
5. High speed skip (stop
high speed skip)
When spaces
continue for 11 characters or more during text printing (1 OCPI), high speed skipping will
be performed. This function is shown in Figure 2-61 b) and is used to shorten the printing time.
a) Acceleration control : 2-2 phase
is performed for five characters so that the carriage speed
changes from stop to the costant speed (3600
b) Constant speed control : The carriage is moved at 3600
c) Deceleration control : The carriage speed changes from 3600
to stop while five characters.
