2.5 Printer Mechanism (Model-3660)
The Model-3660 printer mechanism features a 24-pin print head and incorporates all of the sophisticated
technology of previously produced EPSON printers.
Operation of the 24-pin print head is supported by the carnage components, including the timing belt, rib-
bon driving gears, and the carnage motor; the paper feed mechanism, including the platen sprocket as-
semblies and paper feed motor; and the sensors, which communicate the disposition of the print head and
the paper supply at any given time. The printer mechanism is illustrated in Fig. 2.41.

2.5.1 Operation
2.5.1 1 Sensor mechanism (Signal generating mechanism of Model-3660)
The sensor mechanism is composed of an HP (home positron) sensor, an MTS/DTS sensor, a PE (paper
end) sensor and a print head temperature sensor.
l
The purpose of the HP sensor is to determine the home position of the carriage. The sensor generates
a reference signal for the printing position.
The MTS/DTS sensor detects the carnage speed and print timing.
The PE sensor detects the presence or absence of paper.
The print head temperature sensor detects the internal temperature of the print head. The sensor out-
puts a signal when the print head reaches temperature levels which could damage components.
