[ 3 ] Side Sensor Circuit
The sensor circuit consists of a 5-switch side sensor (SW1 through SW5). Loading a
tape cassette turns on some of those five switches on the side sensor while keeping
other switches off depending upon the ID encoding holes provided in the tape
cassette currently loaded. If an encoding ID hole is closed, the corresponding sensor
switch goes on.
With the states of those sensor switches, the CPU identifies the tape width and ink
ribbon type of the tape cassette, as listed below.
