2.2.4.3 Cutter Solenoid/CR Lock Mechanism
Installed on the front of the Carriage Unit, this is a DC solenoid for controlling
cutter pressure of the cutter used for roll paper cutting.
In addition, the CR Lock Mechanism is used jointly so that when the Carriage
Unit moves from the printing area further to the right of the capping position
(CR_Home), the lock activates to prevent Carriage Unit movement. When the
Cutter Solenoid turns ON with the Carriage Unit at capping position, the Cutter
Solenoid attracts the Actuating Plate of the CR Lock releasing Kicker, the
Kicker kicks the CR Lock, and then the CR Lock is released. The printer is also
equipped with the mechanism to lock the Carriage Lock to prevent the Kicker
from moving vertically during transportation to release the CR Lock.
