  • Page 47: Carriage (Cr) Mechanism

    Operating Principles 2.2.3 Carriage (CR) Mechanism The CR mechanism is composed of the CR unit, timing belt, CR guide shaft, paper eject frame, HP sensor (Home Position sensor) and CR motor. The CR motor sends torque to the timing belt to move the CR unit in the both right and left directions along the paper eject frame and CR guide shaft.

  • Page 48: Paper Feed Mechanism

    EPSON Stylus COLOR 1520 2.2.4 Paper Feed Mechanism The paper feed mechanism of this printer consists of the integrated ASF (Auto Sheet Feeder) mechanism, tractor mechanism, PF (Paper Feed) motor, front/rear PE (Paper End) sensors, PF roller, paper guide mechanism, paper eject unit, and PF motor drive disengage mechanism. The torque from the PF motor drives the paper load mechanism, paper feed mechanism and paper eject mechanism.

  • Page 49: Asf (Auto Sheet Feeder) Mechanism

    Operating Principles 2.2.4.1 ASF (Auto Sheet Feeder) Mechanism Torque from the PF roller is transmitted to the pick up roller in the ASF mechanism via the planetary gear by the PF motor drive disengage mechanism which switches the torque based on the detected position of the CR unit.

  • Page 50: Tractor Mechanism

    EPSON Stylus COLOR 1520 2.2.4.2 Tractor Mechanism Torque sent from the PF motor to the gears at the left end of the PF roller is transmitted to the tractor gears via disengage mechanism by the release lever operation. When the release lever is set to the tractor side, the release sensor detects the position and the torque from the ASF mechanism is disengaged consequently.

  • Page 51: Platen Gap (Pg) Adjust Mechanism

    Operating Principles 2.2.5 Platen Gap (PG) Adjust Mechanism The PG adjust mechanism, located at the top right of the printer mechanism, allows the user to set the proper platen gap (distance between paper and nozzle surface) for the paper thickness to prevent ink smudging.

  • Page 52: Ink System

    EPSON Stylus COLOR 1520 2.2.6 Ink System The ink system for this printer is composed of the following mechanisms. Ink cartridge Pump mechanism Capping mechanism Waste ink drain pads Wiping mechanism Figure 2-9 shows the block chart of the ink system.

  • Page 53: Pump Mechanism

    Operating Principles 2.2.6.1 Pump Mechanism 1. Switching operation from the paper feed mechanism to the pump mechanism The PF motor also functions as the pump motor by the switching operation of the PF motor drive disengage mechanism. When the CR unit returns to the home position, the switch lever in the CR unit pushes the cam lever.
  • Page 54 EPSON Stylus COLOR 1520 2. Switching operation from the pump mechanism to the paper feeding mechanism When the CR unit shifts from the right end to the left end, the switch lever in the CR unit pushes the cam release. Then the disengage gear switches the torque from the pump mechanism to the paper feed mechanism as a result.
  • Page 55 Operating Principles 3. Pump Mechanism Operation The pump mechanism absorbs ink inside the printhead and drains the ink to the waste ink drain pads via the cap. Since this printer has black and color heads, the pump mechanism functions for the both heads by alternating rotational directions of the PF motor.

  • Page 56: Capping Mechanism

    EPSON Stylus COLOR 1520 2.2.7 Capping Mechanism The capping mechanism caps the printheads with the cap holders to prevent the ink around the nozzles from increasing viscosity while the printer is in the stand-by status or the printer power is off. The cap is individually equipped for the black and color head.

  • Page 57: Wiping/Cr Lock Mechanism

    Operating Principles 2.2.7.1 Wiping/CR Lock Mechanism The wiping mechanism removes the ink and dust adhered around the nozzles. This is operated during a cleaning sequence. When the PF motor rotates backward, the torque sent via the head cleaner (wiper) drive gear and the clutch moves the head cleaner to the path of the printhead. Then the CR unit moves right and left to wipe the nozzle surface against the head cleaner.

    EPSON Stylus COLOR 1520 2.3.2.1 Reset Circuits The C211 MAIN board contains two reset circuits: logic line (+5 V) and power (+42 V) line. Reset IC M51955BFP (IC4) monitors the +42 V line. It outputs /NMI signal to the CPU and the gate array to cut off the power line for the motors when the voltage level drops below 33.2 V.
  • Page 63 Operating Principles CCO sensor (Color ink cartridge sensor) CCO sensor, attached to the color ink cartridge holder in the CR unit, detects if the color ink cartridge is installed. A mechanical switch used for this sensor indicates Low with a cartridge installed and goes High without it.

  • Page 64: Cr Motor Driver Circuits

    EPSON Stylus COLOR 1520 2.3.2.3 CR Motor Driver Circuits The CR motor driver IC SLA7043M (IC15) sends motor phase data using the serial data (XCRCLK, XCRSTB, CRASERI, CRBSERI) and voltage reference data (CRV) from the gate array E05B34 to the driver to control the phase current in the driver.

  • Page 65: Pf Motor Driver Circuit

    Operating Principles 2.3.2.4 PF Motor Driver Circuit The PF motor for this printer operates the following: Paper loading Paper feeding Pumping The gate array E05B33 (IC6) outputs the phase drive control signals (PFAPH and PFBPH), phase data (PFA0/1 and PPFB1/0) and voltage reference data (PFV) to the driver IC UDN2917EB (IC16). The driver IC then controls the phase current based on the voltage reference data.

  • Page 66: Printhead Driver Circuit

    EPSON Stylus COLOR 1520 2.3.2.5 Printhead Driver Circuit This printer has 2 separate printhead driver circuits:for the black head and for the color head.
