Chapter 2 Operating Principles
2-1.
Operation of Each Mechanism
2-7 CL-E700 series
2-1-2. Media Feed/Printing Mechanism
The major components of the media feed/printing mechanism are:
(a) SA Head
(b) SA PF Motor
(c) SA Platen
(d) Gear train
By setting the head block to the down position, the media is pushed against the “SA Platen” by the
“SA Head”.
As the “SA PF Motor” (stepping motor) turns counterclockwise viewing from the right side of the
printer, the “SA Platen” turns counterclockwise via the gear train (“Gear PF1”, “Gear PF2” and
“Gear PF Idle”) and the media is fed forward by a friction force produced between the “SA Platen”
and the “SA Head”.
In the direct thermal printing, thermal paper is heated by the energized thermal elements of the “SA
Head” and printing is done.
While in the thermal transfer printing using ink ribbon, ink on the ribbon is melted by the energized
thermal elements of the “SA Head” and transferred on the media surface.
When the “SA PF Motor” turns clockwise, the media is fed backwards.
