speed.
The scanner driver drives the scanner
motor when it is receiving the SCANNER
MOTOR DRIVE signal (/SCNON) from the
DC controller.
2. Scanner motor rotation control
Figure 2-15 shows the scanner motor
control circuit.
The scanner motor is a 3-phase, 8-pole
DC brushless motor containing a Hall
element, and forms a unit along with the
scanner driver, which controls scanner
motor rotation at constant speed.
When the printer power is switched ON,
the oscillation frequency of the crystal
(X202) is divided by the gate array [ICZOZ),
and the SCNCLK signal is sent to the
scanner driver.
When the /PRNT signal that is sent to
the CPU [ICZOl) on the DC controller
becomes 'I". the CPU sets the /SCNON
