2.1.1 Printer Mechanism
Stylus Photo 720 / Stylus Photo EX3 is based on Stylus Photo 700 / Stylus Photo EX
and the basic specifications for its mechanism are almost same as Stylus Photo 700 /
Stylus Photo EX.
This printer consists of Print Head, Carriage Mechanism, Paper Feeding Mechanism,
Paper Loading Mechanism, Ink System (Pump Mechanism, Cap Mechanism, and
Carriage Lock Mechanism).
Like other EPSON ink jet printers, the Stylus Photo 720 / Stylus Photo EX3 is
equipped with two stepping motors; one for ASF/ paper feeding/ pump mechanism,
and one for CR mechanism. ASF unit uses rear entry front eject system; this design is
the same as Stylus Photo 750 / Stylus Photo 1200.
For cap assembly, Stylus Photo 720 / Stylus Photo EX3 uses valveless mechanism;
new design for this model.
Figure 2-1 on page 31 shows the outline of the printer mechanism.
The table below shows the compatibility of the mechanical units among Stylus Photo
700, Stylus Photo 750 and Stylus Photo 720.
