PRINTER

MECHANISM

Theprinter

mechanisms

are dot

matrix

mechanisms

withsub-miniature print

heads

developed

for

high

quality, precision

printing.

Because

some

the

units

come

with

tractor

feed

attachments

and

also

are

equipped

with

rubber

plates,they maybe usedwith continuousbusiness

forms

or rolledor cutsheet

the

user. No special additional equipment need be

purchased

Mechanisms

include

the

home

(HP),

timing

(PTS),

and

the

paper

(PE)

sensors.

Home

Position

(HP)

Sensor

The

sensor

assembly

consists

a HP

sensor

and

sensor

plate,

situated

beneath

the

carriage

assembly.

The

sensor

emits

a HIGH

signal

whenever

the

sensor

plate

intercepts

the

optical

axis

the

photo

sensor.

The

variations

the

signal

alert

the

main

CPU as

when

the

carriage

isin

out

the

home

position (i.e.

the

left

end

the

platen).

This signal servesas a

reference

signal for

the

printing

operation.

Timing

Sensor

(PTS)

The

PTS

sensor

mechanism

consists

the

sensor

and

sensor

disk,

located on

the

shaft

the

carriage motor. The

PTS

signal is

generated

order

coordinate

carriage

speed

with

firing of

the

dot

wires,

allowing

adequate

time for

the

operation

to be performed. A

HIGH

signal

of the

The

When

the

runs

out

ASSEMBLY

The print assembly is comprised of the carriage assembly, including the

carriage motor,

PAPER

FEED

MECHANISM

The

Model

3510/3560

mechanisms

are

adaptable

for

use

with

different

paper

types. The Model 3510 has

three

paper

feed options: friction, pin platen, or

sprocket

feed,

and

utilizes

three

paper

types: roll,

cut

sheet,

or continuous

business

form.

The Model 3560

operates

with

both

friction

and

sprocket feed,

and

may be

used

with

continuous

business

forms

cut

sheet

paper.

Friction Feed System (For Rollor Cut

Sheet

paper)

The friction

feed

system permits use of roll (Model 3510 only) or

cut

sheet

paper, which is fed

through

the

platen

assembly

between

the

paper

feeding

and

paper

holding rollers.
