Front cover open detection mechanism
The front cover open detector is located at the right side of the printer mechanism, and detects
opening and closing of the front cover. This detector consists of an LED and phototransistor. A
screening part, located on the rear of the cover, interrupts light rays when the cover is closed.
When the cover is opened, the light rays reach the phototransistor, resulting in a change in its
output level. This change in output level is used as a detection signal to determine when the
front cover is open.
Figure D-21
Rear cover detector mechanism
The rear cover detector is located in the back, right side of the printer mechanism. It detects
whether the rear cover is open or closed. This detector is comprised of an LED and
phototransistor. When the cover is closed, the light interrupter on the back of the cover
interrupts the optical axis. When the cover is open, the optical axis is opened, which changes the
output level of the phototransistor. The detector takes this output level as the detection signal
for the rear cover open detector.
