6.9.9 PRINT PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM
Mechanism
The print pressure adjustment mechanism adjusts the print pressure to the correct
value for the current temperature and speed of printing. This is done to prevent
changes in image density.
The print pressure adjustment motor [A] turns the print pressure adjustment cams
[B]. The cams adjust the support springs [C] to change the print pressure.
There are 6 pressure settings, as shown below. The print pressure HP sensor [D]
detects the print pressure home position (this is pressure level 2). The print
pressure position sensor [E] detects the print pressure levels; to do this it monitors
the notches in the disk.
