Paper feed operation
When the frame cover is opened, a paper roll is loaded in the proper position, and the frame
cover is closed. This fits the paper roll between the thermal head and platen. The frictional force
between the platen and paper cause the paper roll to feed in the direction indicated by arrow
when the motor rotates the platen. The paper feed speed with this mechanism is determined by
the type of printing pattern, ambient temperature, power voltage, and DIP switch settings. 2-2
phase excitation is used for speeds exceeding 70 mm/s, and 1-2 phase excitation is used to drive
speeds of 70 mm/s or less to ensure adequate torque and to control motor heat rise and noise.
