2.1 OVERVIEW Since the printer mechanism of the EPSON Stylus COLOR 200 is the same as for the EPSON Stylus COLOR IIs, this section only describe s the differences in electrical circuitry. 2.1.1 C199 MAIN BOARD The main control board for the EPSON Stylus COLOR 200 is the C199 MAIN board.
2.1.1.1 Carriage Motor Driver Circuit Carriage motor drive r IC UDN2917EB (IC8) outputs a constant current to drive the carriage motor. CPU M3772152BFP (IC2) determines the motor phase and speed, and then sends a signal to the UDN2917EB car riage motor driver IC (IC8) via a 4-bit signal transmission line.
In the Table 2-1, if the control sequence is executed in incremental order , the carriage motor rotates clockwise (CW). (The CR moves from 1st column to 80th column.) Signals output from ports P105, P106, and P107 of the CPU deter mine the reference trip curr ent level used by the motor driver IC for drive curr ent control.
