Installation of Three heads of 2 lines of 180
+42V device (the head
dot nozzles
nozzle)
+3.3V Thermistor Three pieces of head temperature detection
The ink level sensor
+3.3V Ink quantity detection inside each sub tank
(the Hall IC)

+28V Linear solenoid
down to the ditch of paper guide L2
Detection of the band (180dpi) of the T
+5V Linear encoder
fence
Detection with the sensor on the CR rail of
+5V Photo interrupter
the shutter plate on the carriage
Reflection style
+5V Detection of the right edge of the form
photo interrupter
Detection of the location that the gear of the
Reflection style
+5V SLID device bites with the protrusion that
photo interrupter
was established to the carriage
Carriage is moved right and left through the
steel belt
+42V DC motor
At the time of unactuation, holds it with
+5V
Gap of the print head is removed to 3 stages
+5V Stepping motor
(1.4/2.3/2.8mm) through idler gear
Printer Mechanism Components
Explanation Function / control / others
It drives after it adds the temperature
compensation with the thermistor on the
C362DRV board and print head.
The overflow, ink full, ink low (the output of
3 condition of the ink end)
Removing the cutter edge with the output
signal of the C362DRV board, and form is
mutilated with the carriage actuation.
Generating the signal of 720dpi with the
C362DRV board it uses it for the detection of
the carriage location
As the home position (the reference point of
the printing actuation) of the carriage it uses it
Using for the control of the printing starting
position
Using for the detection of the location that
adjusts the platen gap with the SLIDE motor
Revolution of the motor is controlled (with
superheating inhibition) the C362DRV board
on the basis of the carriage return encoder
signal
Gap between the head and paper are adjusted
on the basis of the detection signal of the P-
THICK sensor
