Carriage Unit

Rotation and stopping operation of the carriage
The carriage rotates by 90 degree angles when switching from one
color to another. The carriage drive motor (pulse motor) turns on to
rotate the carriage. After the carriage home position sensor detects
the carriage home position detect rib, the operation is performed as
many times as the specified number of pulses; then the carriage is
stopped at the specified position.
Detecting the carriage
When initializing, the carriage turns one turn so that the carriage
home position sensor can detect the cartridge detect rib located on
the toner cartridge.
Detecting the carriage home position
Four carriage home position detect ribs are located on the carriage
right side plate, one of which is longer that the other three. The
position of respective color toner cartridges is detected by the length
of the ribs while initializing.
