Firmware Interface with mechanism The following diagram shows the interface between the firmware and the hardware : (hardware-firmware interface diagram) § Paper Motor control is an open-looped control. The firmware does not know the exact position or the size of the paper and relies on the OOPs flag to confirm the presence of paper. § Service Station control is also an open-looped control. There is no feedback to the firmware from the Service Station. § Carriage Control is a closed-loop control. The Carriage PCA is enabled by the encoder strip to read and send data back to the firmware. § Pen information is also controlled by a closed loop. The firmware is therefore able to receives printing data such as pen firing parameters, pen ID and pen temperature from the active pen. 6-28 Functional Overview
