Drive Force Transmission Mechanism

This mechanism consists of the motor, paper feed, receipt, B (fixed to pinion), the gear,
reduction, the gear, idler, and the gear, platen. The printer uses a stepping motor, the
rotation force of which is reduced in sequence by the gear, reduction and the gear, idler
before being transmitted to the gear, platen. (The arrows in the figure below indicate the
direction of the gear rotation.) The gear, platen is mounted to the frame platen unit and
separates from the gear, idler when the platen is open.
