Today I found time to pull it into more pieces. No going back now.
This is the printing rail:
It slides on an aluminum pipe, driven by a motor with two leads. Probably pulse modulated then. Positioning information/motion control is provided by a BPW encoder strip.
This is the underside of the printer:
And this is the brain:
Paper is driven again using a two-lead motor. Motion/position control is provided by BPW wheel and I'll probably use it at my end application.
I'm going to cover up the cartridge/printing heads with some tape to prevent them from drying up. It'll probably be a month or more before I can put life back into it.
