4-4-4. Head Up and Down Control
A head up/down DC motor is driven by its driving circuit (IC400). The DC motor can rotate in the
forward and reverse directions. It is controlled by a system control (IC304). The head also has three
positions. The head position is detected using optical head position sensors (photo-interrupters PH21 and
PH22) and read by a system control (IC304).

4-4-5. Monitor of Door Sensor
The door position is detected using an optical door position sensor (photo-interrupter PH32) and read by a
system control (IC304).

CLOSE L The door is closed.
OPEN H The door is open.
4-4-6. Monitor of Paper Sensor
Whether thermosensible paper is properly put in this unit is detected using two pairs of optical paper
sensors (phototransistors PH31 and PH12) and read by a system control (IC304).
