3) Carriage
Driven by the carriage motor, the carriage moves horizontally across the paper.
Through the carriage ribbon cable, the printing signals from the logic board are
transmitted to the BJ cartridge in the carriage.
By controlling the purge unit's slide lock pin, the carriage controls the engagement
of the paper feed motor’s drive power between the paper feed/purge unit and the
sheet feeder.
