2.3.5 PF Motor Drive Circuit

Stepping motor driver STK6713BMK4 (IC2) drives the PF motor. Figure 2-22 shows the PF motor drive circuit block diagram, and Table 2-9 provides the PF motor specifications.

The motor pulse switching signals are transmitted from CPU ports PG00 to PG03. The PF motor is controlled using open-loop phase switching based on the specified time data, and the phase driving method is 1-2 phase excitation. (When the PF motor is held, the phase driving method is 1 phase excitation.) The CPU selects the most suitable driving mode from the modes below according to conditions such as the paper feed length and the pull tractor condition.

‰￿Micro feed (adjust) mode ‰￿Middle speed mode: ‰￿Normal speed mode:

:< 20 / 432 inches

>20 / 432 inches and < 60 / 432 inches, or with optional pull tractor

>60 / 432 inches

Each phase switching FET in driver IC2 is an open collector. When the phase switching data is HIGH, the motor is turned on. The PFA port of the gate array monitors the phase A signal of the PF motor and checks whether it is operating normally. The PFA port is used as the WDT (watch dog timer).

If PF motor operation is abnormal, the gate array outputs the /RSTOUT (reset request) signal to the system reset IC (IC13). Refer to Section 2.3.2 Reset Circuit.
