2.1.1.4.1 Pump, Carriage Lock, Head Cleaner Mechanism

In the Stylus Color 600, there is no switch or mechanism t o change over the pump/paper feed mechanism .

Therefore, whenever the paper feed/pump m otor rotate, pump drive roll er in the pump unit inside rotates.

However, ink absorption/non ink absorption are separated by the roll er r ot ational direction. Also, ev en i f the

pump driver rotates toward ink absorption and the car r i age position is in the false absorption position, onl y

driving in the pump mechanism is performed and actual ink attracti on is not done. The figure below shows

process of conveying motive power t o t he pump drive roller.

The process of conveying the motiv e power to the paper eject roller by rotating the pi nion of PF motor

is descried in figure 2-14. This motiv e power is conveyed to the Gear C through Gear B.

In the figure above, although the l ev er in order to drive Gear C, car r i age lock, head cleaner mechanism

is shown separately, it is constructed as one unit. Since the engagement of these two parts depends on the

tension of the compression spring, if the l ev er is burdened, only Gear C and pump roller rot ate and no

more motive power is conveyed t o t he lever part.
