Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Homebrew PCBs

Well,

I got started on the modifications and it ain't pretty so far.
Right now I am cutting away a lot of the sheet metal framing to get
the path clear for "Straight through" feeding. My first goal is to
get to that point where I can get a PCB to pass through it.

Then, the next step is to figure out where to re-locate the logic
board. Some of the flat cables are pretty short and won't allow me
to move some parts very far. Once I get to that point, I am going
to start looking at how I can get the PCB to feed straight and to
handle two sided printing.

I found the one switch for the paper sensor - working with that will
be key to getting double sided printing to work good. There is
another sensor on the printer which seems to be in the paper feeder
section. Not sure what that is for yet. It seems to sense the
position of the cam that grabs the paper from the stack. If it is
for that, I believe that one won't be much a problem.

Will report any further findings as I move along with this thing.

By chance, Stefan have you started on your printer yet (that is if
you have it in hand yet)?
