  • Page 17: Chapter Ii Theory Of Operation

    CHAPTER II THEORY OF OPERATION OUTLINE OF MECHANISMS 2.1.1 Print Mechanism Structure of Thermal Head The machine uses thermal transfer printing. The thermal print head has a heat generator consisting of 384 heating elements which are vertically aligned as shown in Fig. 2.1-1. Each heating element is 0.08 mm wide by 0.0705 mm high.
  • Page 18 [For stamp tape cassettes] If the selected heating element(s) generates heat, the porous-stamp tape will be melted so that a pore (pores) will be formed in the tape. The tape is advanced and the next heating cycle is repeated, thus forming a character of pores on the tape. The printed stamp tape can be used as the face of a stamp.
  • Page 19: Roller Holder Assy Setting & Retracting Mechanism

    2.1.2 Roller Holder ASSY Setting & Retracting Mechanism This mechanism consists of the release lever, roller release rod, and roller holder/head assy. The roller holder assy incorporates the platen holder and the sub roller holder. These holders support the platen and the tape feed sub roller so that they can move perpendicularly to the thermal head and the tape feed roller, respectively.
  • Page 20: Tape & Ribbon Feed Mechanism

    2.1.3 Tape & Ribbon Feed Mechanism This mechanism consists of the tape feed motor, the gear train, and the roller holder ASSY. Tape Feeding When you load a tape cassette and close the cassette cover, the platen and the thermal head sandwich the tape and ink ribbon (only the tape when using non-laminated thermal film tape cassettes or stamp tape cassettes) inbetween.
  • Page 21 Adhesive Base Tape Feeding (only for laminated tape cassettes) A laminated tape cassette contains both a transparent laminated tape roll and a separate adhesive base tape roll. When a transparent laminated tape and an adhesive base tape pass through the contact point (between the tape feed roller and tape feed sub roller), they are then bonded together into a single, printed tape.
  • Page 22: Tape Automatic Full Cutter Mechanism

    2.1.4 Tape Automatic Full Cutter Mechanism The cutter blade fixed into the carriage is moved along the lead shaft so that the tape is cut. When the worm gear provided on the edge of the cutter motor is rotated, the lead shaft is rotated together so that the carriage is moved in the direction of tape cutting along the lead shaft.
  • Page 23: Tape Automatic Half Cutter Mechanism

    2.1.5 Tape Automatic Half Cutter Mechanism When the control plate in the half cutter chassis is moved back and forth, the amount how much the cutter blade bites into the tape is changed to switch between half cutter and full cutter.
  • Page 24: Tape Eject Mechanism (Full Cut Only

    2.1.6 Tape Eject Mechanism (Full Cut Only) The mechanism sends the full cut tape to the outside of the machine. When the tape is full cut, it is fixed by the tape pressure, the eject rubber provided on the eject shaft and the eject roller.

  • Page 27: Av Label Print Start Position Detector Mechanism

    2.1.9 AV Label Print Start Position Detector Mechanism (PT-9600/PT-3600 U.S.A.) This mechanism makes it possible to print at the proper position on Avery (AV) labels half-cut in a 24-mm-width AV labels tape. As shown below, it uses a reflection photosensor named AV print position sensor (AV sensor PCB ASSY).

  • Page 35: Chapter Iii Disassembly And Reassembly

    CHAPTER III DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY Safety Precautions The disassembly or reassembly work should be carried out on a grounded antistatic sheet. Otherwise, the LSIs and electronic parts may be damaged due to the electricity charged in your body. When transporting PCBs, be sure to wrap them in conductive sheets such as aluminum foil. When using soldering irons and other heat-generating tools, take care not to damage the resin parts such as wires, PCBs, and covers.
