CHAPTER 2. BASIC OPERATION
II. CARRIAGE UNIT
A. Outline
Figure 2-201 shows the composition of the carriage and its driving components.
The driving force from the carriage motor (M2) is transmitted to the carriage through the
carriage belt , causing the carriage to move back and forth over the paper. The distance it moves
is controlled by counting the number of pulses of the signal transmitted from the engine control-
ler to the carriage motor.
The print signal from the engine controller is transmitted to the BJ print head mounted to the
carriage, via the carriage controller.
