2.2.1.4 PW Detector Specification
Stylus PHOTO RX600/610, RX620/630 has newly employed a PW (Paper Width)
sensor that is described in detail below.
Purpose of Detection
• To prevent printing with no characters on cut sheet.
Detector Specification
Switching Mode
Note: Paper head signals shall be converted by means of 8-bit A/D conversion.
PW Detector Control
There are two controlling methods using PW detector as follows:
Control of preventing print with no characters
Before start of print (immediately after paper head feed is complete) or during
print, this control detects the existence of paper with PW detector, driving CR
and PF motors and prevents print with no characters on paper sent to paper
guide, which applies to only right and left edges of paper.
Control of restriction to run-off
This control detect paper edges with PW detector at the time of printing with
no margin, and restrict the printing run-off quantity. It detects 4 edges when
no margins are set for 4 sides of paper. For each mode, run-off area thin-out
control is set that further compensates for run-off mask area at the time of
printing with no characters.
