3.8.1 FG Circuit

The motor control circuit with a Frequency Governor circuit maintains the printing speed at the settings. It is mainly constructed of a Speed Control IC (IC2) and a Power Transistor TR6 shown in Fig. 3-15. It measures the number of rotations of the Carriage Motor from the Timing Signal 1. This signal is then compared to the standard signal to control the speed by controlling the voltage energizing the Carriage Motor.

3.8.2 Merits of the FG Circuit

The FG circuit maintains a stable output regardless of the environment where it is being used. It maintains stability even at high speeds.

It protects the head because the speed is stable.
