(2) Encoder Disk
In the operation of the spacing motor, the PHASE-A and PHASE-B signals are generated
when the encoder disk interrupts the photo sensor.
The LSI divides these edge pulse signals in accordance with the print pitch, and sends
the IPT signal to provide dot-on timing and carriage position detection timing.
