(3) Press contacting mechanism When the carriage moves to the maintenance position, it moves the lever to drive the press contacting link. By driving the press contacting link, the press contacting plate moves up and down. (4) Drive gear train The drive gear train installed on the maintenance unit frame transmits the power of the PA motor to the winding core and the pumping mechanism through the paper delivery roller. The drive gear train is turned ON and OFF by the press contacting link position of the press contacting mechanism moved by the carriage. (5) Pumping mechanism Two pistons in the syringe are controlled by the disc cam to feed air to the tube. It is constructed to prevent negative pressure from being produced. (6) Capping mechanism The capping mechanism supports a capping block with a rubber seal using a spring plate. When the head unit moves to the right end position, it is connected to a hole made in the ink tank. An air tube from the pumping mechanism is connected to the block and pressure is applied to the ink tank through the hole made in the rubber cap. (7) Maintenance paper empty sensor If the special roll paper runs out or the maintenance cartridge is not installed, the maintenance paper empty sensor detects it. (8) Maintenance paper level gauge The maintenance paper level gauge is installed at the right shoulder position of the 1st sheet feeder (right above the maintenance cartridge) and detects the change of diameter of the winding core using a mechanical link and mechanically indicates the amount of the remaining special roll paper. 11-24
