2.1.1 Printer Mechanism
Unlike other EPSON ink jet printers, the Stylus COLOR 760 uses DC motor for
power source. Use of the DC motor enable the printer to lower noise during
printing to a great extent. Table 2-1 shows the various motor types used in the
printer and their applications.
Table 2-1. Motor Types and Corresponding Applications
The basic structure of the printer mechanism is mostly common to the Stylus
COLOR 400/600/440/640/740, except that the Stylus COLOR 760 uses a DC
motor.
Figure 2-1 shows the printer mechanism block diagram for the Stylus COLOR
760.

Type
Application / Feature
CR Motor
DC with brush
Used to drive the carriage making little noise. A
a linear scale is used to monitor the motor’s
operating condition.
PF Motor
DC with brush
• Drives paper feeding rollers used to send
paper at specified speeds and load/eject
paper.
• Drive the ASF used to send paper to PF
roller.
• Drive CR Lock lever
When the CR unit is in the home position,
the CR lock lever is fixed the CR unit.
• Drive Pump Unit to absorb the ink
To monitor paper feeding pitch, a loop scale is
attached beside the high-precision gear.
