  • Page 16: Chapter Ii General Mechanisms

    CHAPTER II GENERAL MECHANISMS MAIN MECHANISM 2.1.1 Print Mechanism Structure of Thermal Head This machine uses thermal transfer printing. The thermal print head has a heat generator consisting of 112 heating elements which are vertically aligned as shown in Fig. 2.1-1. Each heating element is 0.195 mm wide by 0.141 mm high.
  • Page 17 [For stamp tape cassettes] If the selected heating element(s) generates heat, the porous-stamp tape will be melted so that a pore (pores) will be formed in the tape. The tape is advanced and the next heating cycle is repeated, thus forming a character of pores on the tape. The printed stamp tape can be used as the face of a stamp.

  • Page 18: Roller Holder Assy Setting & Retracting Mechanism

    2.1.2 Roller Holder ASSY Setting & Retracting Mechanism This mechanism consists of the roller release lever, roller holder release rod, and roller holder ASSY. The roller holder ASSY supports the platen and the tape feed sub roller so that they can move perpendicularly to the head ASSY and the tape feed roller, respectively, as well as rotating freely.

  • Page 19: Tape & Ribbon Feed Mechanism

    2.1.3 Tape & Ribbon Feed Mechanism This mechanism consists of a DC motor, gear train, and roller holder ASSY. Tape Feeding When you load a tape cassette and close the cassette cover, the tape feed roller inside the cassette and the tape feed sub roller in the roller holder ASSY sandwich the tape (the laminate tape and adhesive base tape when using laminated tape cassettes) inbetween, as described in Subsection 2.1.2.
  • Page 20 Adhesive Base Tape Feeding (only for laminated tape cassettes) A laminated tape cassette contains both a transparent laminate tape roll and a separate adhesive base tape roll. When a transparent laminate tape and an adhesive base tape pass through the contact point (between the tape feed roller and tape feed sub roller), they are then bonded together into a single, printed tape.

    2.1.4 Automatic Tape Cutter Mechanism (PT-1900/1910) The cutter ASSY consists of a stationary blade and a movable blade driven by the cutter motor. Upon completion of printing and tape feeding, the CPU activates the cutter motor whose clockwise rotation is transmitted via the idle gears to the cutter moving gear. As the cutter moving gear rotates counterclockwise, its boss "X"...

  • Page 22: Tape Cutter Mechanism (Pt-1850

    2.1.5 Tape Cutter Mechanism (PT-1850) The cutter unit consists of a stationary cutter and a movable cutter. Pressing the cutter lever actuates the movable cutter so that the cutter cuts the printed tape routing through the movable and stationary cutters, just like a scissors. Attached to the cutter lever, the cutter sensor arm turns up so that its tip comes into contact with the switch of the cutter sensor circuit on the cutter sensor holder ASSY, stopping printing and tape feeding.

  • Page 23: Roller Holder Assy & Cassette Cover Interlocking Mechanism

    2.1.6 Roller Holder ASSY & Cassette Cover Interlocking Mechanism Closing the cassette cover pushes down the roller release lever and brings the top of the lever into the hooked section provided on the inside of the cassette cover. As described in Subsection 2.1.2 “Roller Holder ASSY Setting & Retracting Mechanism”, the roller release lever shifts the roller holder release rod so that the roller holder ASSY is pressed towards the head ASSY side.
  • Page 24 (PT-1900/1910) Hooked section Cassette cover Cassette cover (PT-1850) Hooked section Cassette cover Cassette cover Fig. 2.1-8 Roller Holder ASSY & Cassette Cover Interlocking Mechanism Opening the cassette cover pulls up the roller release lever placed in the hooked section of the cassette cover, which shifts the roller holder release rod so that the roller holder ASSY is retracted from the head ASSY side by the roller holder release spring.
