2.2.4 CR Lock Mechanism

The printer uses a spring to activate the carriage lock and an electromagnetic
solenoid to release it. The spring forces the carriage lock up into the opening
at the bottom of the subcarriage when the carriage is in the home position.
However, when the CR Motor is running, the solenoid prevents the lock from
engaging the carriage. To release the carriage from the capping position, the
printer activates the cutter solenoid which pushes down the CR lock releasing
the carriage.
To manually release the carriage when it is locked in the home position, press
down the cutter and push the carriage to the left.
