Pump cam sensor
The photo-interrupter-type pump cam sensor detects that the sensor light is shielded or unshielded by the rotary cam. The sensor detects the purge unit capping and
wiping states with the combination of the state detected by the pump cam and the state of pump motor rotation control performed by the pump encoder.

Pump encoder sensor
The pump encoder is a photo-interruptive type sensor. It reads the slits on the pump motor's encoder film to control the amount of pump motor rotation.
Ink supply valve open/closed detection sensor (L)/(R)
The photo-interrupter-type ink supply valve open/closed detection sensor detect the valve cam state.
When the link that operates in conjunction with the ink supply valve cam shields light, this sensor detects that the ink supply valve has been opened.
Ink passage valve open/closed detection sensor (L)/(R)
The photo-interrupter-type ink passage valve open/closed detection sensor detect the valve cam state.
When the link that operates in conjunction with the ink passage valve cam shields light, this sensor detects that the ink passage valve has been opened.
Ink detection sensor (L)/(R)
Presence of absence of ink in the ink tank is detected according to whether the two hollow needles are electrically connected.
When the ink level in the ink tank lowers below the wall around the hollow needle at the air passage, this hollow needle is electrically disconnected form the hollow
needle located on the ink supply side, thus detecting that the printer has run out of ink.
Shutter HP sensor
The photointerrupter-type sensor detects the presence of the cshutter at the home position.
