2.2.1. Mechanisms
1. Overview
This printer consists of the platen roller [A], thermal head [B], and cutter unit
[C], which is a shuttle cutter type.
Whenever the printer cover [D] is closed, the pressure spring [E] presses the
thermal head against the platen roller so that the printing and paper feeding
can be performed.
The cutter unit cuts the paper.
The cover open/paper end sensor [F] is on the FCU. This sensor informs the
CPU of both conditions: printer cover open and paper end.
The bend in the decurler [G] always applies the same stress to the curled pa-
per to get rid of the curl regardless of the amount of paper remaining.
