Motors

See “Timing Diagram” on page 5-47 for specific timing details for the printer motors.

The Main Motor, MT1, is controlled by the DC Controller Board. The Main Motor drives the main Gear Assembly and rotates during the Initial Rotation period (following power-on), the Print period, the Last Rotation period, or whenever the printer’s Top Cover is opened and closed.

Figure 5-5Main Motor Control

The Main Motor is a DC brushless motor with hall elements, and is unified with the motor drive circuit.

The CPU (IC501) sets the main motor drive signal (/MON) to “L” and rotates the main motor. When printing at 1200 dpi, the CPU sets the main motor rotation switching signal (/HALF) to “L” and decreases the rotation speed of the main motor to half.
