2. Main Component Units
This printer consists of the following three major units.
2.1 Print unit
The print unit is comprised of the frame assembly, carriage and linear motor unit
and the form feed mechanism. Occupying the largest part of the print unit, the
carriage performs lateral feed, character selection, printing and ribbon feed. Use
of aliner motor makes the carriage simple in design for easy maintenance.
2.2 Control unit
This unit provides all the controls for the printer and consists of apower supply
and two CPU boards. One of the CPU circuit boards serves as the slave CPU
circuit board for controlling the print unit mechanisms, and the other is the master
CPU circuit baord for controlling the slave CPU circuit board and for the commu-
nication with the host CPU.
2.3 Cover unit
The cover unit consists of abottom cover, center cover, top cover, and acoustic
cover. Except for two screws, snap-latches are used for connection between the
covers.
