2.3.1.2 Mechanism control circuit
The Mechanism Control circuit is managed by the Mechanism Control
ASIC, and the figure below is the internal block diagram of this ASIC.

Motor Drive control circuits
This printer has six circuits for driving the six motors: SP (Space or CR)
motor, LF (Line Feed) motor, RF (Ribbon Feed) motor, HCPP (Host-
Controlled Paper Path) motor, APTC (Automatic Paper Thickness
Control) motor, and OC (Open/Close) motor. There is also a control
system for the optional Perforation cutter unit. The ASIC controls the
motors. Motor timing signals are generated by the timer output from the
SoC ASIC. The following shows a block diagram of the motor control
section.
