Operating Principles

2.2.9 Carriage Lock Mechanism

The carriage lock mechanism locks the carriage unit when the printer is in the pause state or while it is not
used. The Stylus Color IIs does not use an exclusive mechanism as the carriage lock. (The carriage lock
position is on the engage / disengage rail as shown in the figure below.)
Note:
For servicing, it is very difficult to move the carriage unit to the carriage lock position manually.
Therefore, it is necessary to turn the printer on, set the carriage unit to the lock position, and then
turn the printer off.
