2.1.1.2  Paper Feed Mechanism

PF RAIL UNIT

The paper transport mechanism is made of the same extruded aluminum 
material as the CR guide rail and consists of a grid roller (PF roller) mounted on 
the PF rail and the pressurization and follower roller assembly mounted 
opposite to it on the back of the CR guide rail. The grid roller (PF roller) in the 
Stylus Pro 9500 differs from the grid roller (PF roller) in the Stylus Pro 9000, in 
that there is only one. (In the Stylus Pro 9000, there are 3 fixed length rollers 
lined up across the breadth of the printer, linked together with a coupling 
construction, and fastened to the PF rail via bearings.)

A CD motor is used for the PF motor and this motor is software servo 
controlled based on pulses output from an optical rotary encoder. In the Stylus 
Pro 9000, an encoder sensor and loop scale are built into the PF motor, but in 
the Stylus Pro 9500, the PF motor and encoder sensor/loop scale are separate 
units, with the loop scale mounted  at the left end of, and concentric with the PF 
roller and the encoder sensor also assembled separately in the printer’s left 
edge.

Driving of the PF roller is done by transmission to the PF roller through the 
following channel.

o

PF motor pinion gear _ Timing belt _ Reduction pulley _ Grid roller (PF 
roller)

Suction fans are also mounted on the back side of the paper guide L (the 
space in back of the paper guide L is divided into 3 cavities arranged side by 
side across the width of the printer with one suction fan mounted in each 
cavity), and by these fans pulling air from the back side of the paper and out 
through the printer body, a suction force is applied to the paper guide L’s 
surface which acts to stabilize paper travel (preventing it from lifting up). 
Furthermore, the air volume is controlled by firmware (fan rotation duty control) 
based on the printer’s operating state (when paper is set, during printing, etc.).
