Slip paper feed operation
Following slip paper positioning, printing can be performed. After each line is printed, the
journal paper feed motor is activated and turns the slip paper feed roller to advance the paper
by a predetermined amount. Slip paper forward feed and reverse feed is controlled by selecting
the journal paper feed motor drive signal.
The gear train of the slip paper feed assembly consists of the journal paper feed motor gear, J/S
switching gear (moved by the J/S switching solenoid to the slip paper feed gear train), paper
feed reduction gear, slip paper feed roller, and gear of auxiliary slip paper feed roller.
Since the driving force of the journal paper feed motor is transmitted via the gear train to the slip
paper feed roller and the slip paper holder roller, the slip paper is controlled from both sides.
For forward feed, each gear turns in the
direction. The slip paper feed roller and slip paper holder roller turn in the
directions, so that the slip paper moves in the
are reversed.
