The unit printer mechanism is constructed of the following components:

 

The rotation of the stepping motor is transmitted to the gear, which turns the platen. The rota-

tion of the platen generates friction between it, the thermal paper and the thermal head, there-

fore causing the paper to be fed.

 

Color appears on the thermal paper as the temperature of the thermal head’s heat-generating

element increases.

 

The edge of the thermal paper stops just before the presenter’s ejector, the continuous feed of

the thermal paper creates a loop and after printing is finished, the paper is cut. Then, the paper is

fed out by the roller in front of the ejector. (The DC motor rotates the roller)
