Monitor Of Head Temperature Sensor; Control Of Head Fan Motor (For Head Cooling); Control Of Video Circuit Section - Sony UP-895 Service Manual

4-4-7. Monitor of Head Temperature Sensor

The change in the resistance value of the thermistor inside a thermal head is converted into a voltage
using a head temperature detector circuit (IC401) and read by a system control (IC304). The voltage
value is converted from analog to digital. Density (gamma) correction, fan motor control for head
cooling, and head-in cleaning discrimination are performed according to the digital value.

4-4-8. Control of Head Fan Motor (for Head Cooling)

The head fan motor is operated when a system control (IC304) controls driving transistors (Q400 and
Q403). The head fan motor is turned on when the head temperature is more than approximately 50 dC or
during printing.
