6.7 CARRIAGE DRIVE
6.7.1 OVERVIEW
1 Horizontal Motor Drive Gear
2 Timing Belt
3 Carriage (Print Heads)
4 Guide Rod
5 Horizontal Encoder (Translucent Film)
A horizontal motor drive gear turning [1] drives a timing belt [2] connected to the carriage [3].
The forward and reverse rotation of the horizontal drive motor moves the carriage to the left
and right side of the printer. The horizontal encoder strip [5], mounted in front of the timing
belt is threaded through the horizontal encoder sensor mounted on the carriage. This sensor
detects the position of the carriage at the time the carriage moves from side to side during
printing.
