2.1 Overview
This section describes the operating principles of the Printer mechanism and electrical
circuit boards. Like the previous printers (Stylus COLOR 480), the Stylus C50/C60/
C61/C62 has only the following two circuit boards and does not have the control panel
board.

: Due to this, the Stylus COLOR 480/580 does not have switches (Power, Error reset,
Ink cartridge replacement) and LEDs. However, these printers have them on
C418 Main board instead of the control panel board.
*2
: C418 Main/Main-B board is used for the Stylus C60 and the Stylus Photo 810/820.
However, there is difference of ASIC & PROM mounted on the C418 Main/Main
-B board between the Stylus C60 and the Stylus Photo 810/820.
2.1.1 Printer Mechanism
The Printer mechanism for the Stylus C50/60 is newly designed. But, the basic
component of the Printer mechanism is almost the same as the previous printer (Stylus
COLOR 480/580). And also, Stylus C61/C62 is success to Stylus C60 and is the same
as its printer mechanism.
These printers consist of Printhead, Carriage mechanism, Paper loading mechanism,
Paper feeding mechanism, Ink system (Pump mechanism including newly designed
Carriage lock mechanism, Capping mechanism including newly designed Wiper
mechanism).
Like the previous printers (Stylus COLOR 480/580), these printers are equipped with
two stepping motors; one for the Paper loading/feeding mechanism and the Pump
mechanism with the CR lock mechanism, and one for the CR mechanism. The ASF
unit for the Paper loading mechanism uses rear entry front eject system. And, single
LD roller in Holder shaft unit loads a paper to the Printer mechanism.The Cap unit
which adopts the valveless mechanism is newly designed on these printers as follows.
No porous pad in cap
