Paper feed motor driver circuit
The paper feed motor (stepping motor) possesses an accurate angle of rotation and permits
speed control. It is driven with 2-2 phase excitation. By turning P53 of the CPU to LOW, +24 V
(labeled +24C signal in the figure below) is applied to the COM terminal of its coil, and it is
made to run by changing P90, P91, P92 and P93 to HIGH and LOW. Its speed is determined by
the speed of changing P90, P91, P92, and P93 between HIGH and LOW. At the end of paper
feeding, P53 of the CPU is once again set to HIGH.
Carriage motor driver circuit
The carriage motor (stepping motor) possesses an accurate angle of rotation and permits speed
control. It is driven with 2-2 phase excitation. By turning P52 of the CPU to LOW, +24 V (labeled
+24B signal in the figure below) is applied to the COM terminal of its coil, and it is made to run
by changing P20, P21, P22, and P23 to HIGH and LOW. Its speed is determined by the speed of
changing P20, P21, P22, and P23 between HIGH and LOW. At the end of paper feeding, P52 of
the CPU is once again set to HIGH.
