EPSON Stylus Photo 925

Revision A

Operating Principles

Overview

When the ASF/Pump motor torque is switched to the ASF unit side by the clutch
mechanism, the function of the ASF mechanism varies depending on the rotational
direction of the ASF/Pump motor, as shown in the table below.

Table 2-7.ASF Unit Function & ASF/Pump Motor Rotational Direction

Directions

(*1)

*1. The ASF/Pump Motor rotational direction = seen from the right side

of the printer.

Corresponding Functions
