Paper Supply Mechanism
Paper guides that hold the paper roll are fixed to the frame. The side wall surface of the guides
extend all the way to the thermal head, limiting the width of paper feed. The paper guides also
have a near end detection mechanism, which detects when there is a certain amount of paper
remaining, and a paper end detection mechanism, which detects the end of the paper roll.
Furthermore, the platen has an impact plate to ease rapid changes in load exerted by the paper
roll.

Near end (N.E.) detection mechanism
The N.E. detector lever is supported by the N.E. detector holder in such a way that it can rotate.
The spring force of a micro switch fixed to the N.E. detector holder by a screw pushes the N.E.
detector lever in the direction indicated by arrow ➀. The micro switch is connected to the
intermediate circuit board by the N.E. detector lead wire. The N.E. detector holder is mounted
to the paper guides by the detector adjustment screw.
