2.2.2 Printer Mechanism

The Stylus 1500 printer mechanism is composed of the printhead unit; paper feed, carriage drive,
pump, and push tractor feed mechanisms; and various sensors. The figure below shows a functional
block diagram of the printer mechanism. Depending on the position of the carriage unit, the paper
feed motor torque is transmitted to the paper feed, auto sheet feeding, push tractor feed, or pump
mechanisms via a disengage mechanism.
