Motor
Push the pen release lever
To install the pen, push the tip of the pen through the ring of the return spring in the nrst place, then push into the holder. Upon completion, ensure that the tip of the pen is engaged with the hole of the pen return spring. If colour change is done when the pen is disengaged from the hole, it may cause improper rotation of the rotary holder as the slider makes contact with the pen. Do not try to rotate the rotary holder by hand when installing the pen during replacement of the pens.

It is more effective to save power to shut off current while the X and Y axis motors are at a halt. But, there may be a possible malfuction because of unsuppressed vibration, if the current is turned off with a normal pulse width. In order to prevent this, current is applied excessively for more than the given hold time (tMH = 1ms or more).
•Colour position detector
The colour position detector consists of a reed switch and a permanent magnet and it may cause malfunction owing to external vibration, and magnetic influence. Especially, when deposit of alien matter or paper frag- ments is between the left end of the carriage and the frame this may result in a failure of the colour detect performance.
•Character set
Input of an undefmed code up to $20 is ignored. Other undefmed codes are represented in hexadecimal notation using the pen in a next color pOsition.
