SP Motor
Traditionally called the Carriage Drive Motor, SP stands for “Space”. The SP Motor moves the Print Head and Car-
rier Unit (Carriage Assembly) across the Carrier Shaft (Carriage Guide Shaft). The SP Motor is a brushless DC
Motor driven by the 42 vdc Power Supply. There is an Interlock Switch and an 8 amp fuse between the 42 vdc
Power Supply and the SP Motor driver circuit. SP Motor control logic (travel direction and distance) utilizes a Car-
riage Encoder Scale, Carriage Encoder Sensor, and the Main Logic Board.
