2.1.1.2 Carriage Mechanism
Carriage mechanism is to drive the carriage with print head mounted from left to right or vice versa.
The carriage drive motor in this printer is a 4-phase, 200-pole, stepping motor and is driven by
1-2phase, 2-2phase and W1-2phase drive method. This stepping motor allows the carriage to
move freely to the particular positions which is necessary for various operation, such as paper feeding,
ink absorbing, flashing, ink exchange and cleaning operations. The tables below shows carriage motor
specifications and motor controls at each mode.

*Note 1):
The reason why plural drive methods exist is that following some sequences described below
exist in the each mode and stable carriage operation and printing are performed individually
by different drive methods. This drive method is especially necessary for high speed skip.
