Figure 2-11. Carriage Assembly Circuits.
The Carriage Assembly contains:
1) Carriage PWA
2) Optical Sensors
3) Paper Sensor
4) Inkjet Cartridges
The Carriage PWA contains the logic and drive circuitry for the firing of
the inkjet cartridges. It also establishes an interface path for the optical
sensor and paper sensor to communicate with the MPWA.
The optical sensors receive their inputs from the optical encoder strip
and sends this data to the MPWA. The MPWA uses this information to
determine the horizontal position of the carriage assembly so that
accurate printing can be established.
