CARRIAGE HOLDER

The home position of carriage is detected as a result of change of output of photointurrupter A which is caused due to shutting-off of optical path of photointerrupter A by the slit B .

While the photointerrupter is shut off by the slit B, the output (pin 1 of CN3) of photointerrupter gets H level (+5V). If it is not shut off, the output gets L level (0V).

In the home position the output is L. In case of L direction movement the output is H during passing through the slit, and after passing the output gets again L level.

The operation logic is as follows. Insignificant movement in L direction

(1) If in this case the output is L:

It is judged that the carriage exists in the L direction as compared to the slit B . The carriage is moved in the R direc- tion, so that the output changes from L to H (during passing through the slit B ). Further the carriage is moved in the R direction. The position where H changes to L again is regarded as a home position.

(2) If in this case the output is H:

It is judged that the carriage exists near the home position, the carriage is moved in the R direction. The position where the output is changed from H to L is regarded as a home position.

Operation in case of malfunction of photointerrupter A .

Case 1: When the output of photointerrupter remains H.

As is evident from the operation logic, the H output does not continue for a long time in case of normal operation. Hence, this state is judged to be abnormal. The carriage stops soon after it moves insignificantly.

Case 2: When the output of photointerrupter remains L.

The carriage is going to move according to the operation logic. Since the output remains L even when the sensor passes through the slit B , the home position cannot be found, and the carriage moves continuously in the R direction. Finally, it contacts the frame C , emitting an abnormal sound. The abnormal state is detected, and the motor stops.

FO-2150CM, UX-2200CM specifications

The Sharp UX-2200CM and FO-2150CM are two innovative devices that exemplify Sharp’s commitment to providing high-quality multifunctional communication technology. Aimed primarily at small to medium-sized businesses, both models offer a comprehensive suite of features designed to streamline document management and enhance workplace productivity.

The Sharp UX-2200CM is a sophisticated multifunction fax and copier machine that is known for its user-friendly interface and reliable performance. One of its standout features is its high-speed fax transmission, allowing users to send and receive documents swiftly. It is equipped with a 33.6 Kbps modem that can transmit pages in approximately 3 seconds, proving invaluable in fast-paced work environments. Furthermore, the device has a 250-sheet paper capacity and a robust 20-sheet automatic document feeder, enabling users to handle large volumes of faxing or copying with ease.

In addition to faxing capabilities, the UX-2200CM offers high-quality color copying. With a resolution of up to 600 x 600 dpi, users can expect sharp and vibrant copies, whether they're duplicating informative brochures or standard documents. The inclusion of multiple copying modes, such as resize and collage features, allows for versatility in document production, catering to various business needs.

On the other hand, the Sharp FO-2150CM is a dedicated color fax machine. This model boasts similar technologies, such as a speedy 33.6 Kbps modem, which ensures efficient communication. The FO-2150CM also supports both fax and copy functions, allowing users to generate high-quality copies of up to 600 x 600 dpi.

Both models utilize thermal transfer printing technology, which ensures longevity and consistency in printing quality. They include features such as error correction mode (ECM) that enhances the reliability of fax communications by detecting and correcting transmission errors automatically.

The intuitive control panel on both devices is designed for straightforward navigation, making it accessible even for users with minimal technical experience. They also incorporate energy-saving features, which comply with modern environmental standards, thus reducing overall energy consumption.

With their robust features, advanced technologies, and reliability, the Sharp UX-2200CM and FO-2150CM stand out as exemplary choices for businesses looking for comprehensive, multifunction communication solutions. These devices not only enhance productivity but also simplify the complexities of document management in today's fast-evolving business landscape.
