Abstract

PURPOSE:To drive a carriage even under a low temperature and to prevent mechanical vibration when acceleration is increased at the time of starting by providing a timer for intermittently driving a CPU which controls a motor driver, a sensor for detecting the temperature, a ROM storing speed profile data, and an I/O unit. CONSTITUTION:A CPU 11 controls the system entirely and a timer 12 actuates the control operation of the CPU 11 intermittently with a time interval. A ROM 13 stores a speed profile and a temperature sensor 15 detects the temperature in the system. A motor driver 16 drives a motor. The temperature sensor 15 detects the temperature in the system and the CPU 11 selects a speed profile stored in the ROM 13 appropriately based on the detected temperature thus controlling the motor.
