ROLLER BELT REPLACEMENT
The M10e Printer utilizes two timing belts coupled with toothed pulleys to provide drive
distribution throughout the assembly. One belt is configured to transfer torque from a stepper
motor to the platen and feed rollers. A second belt operates independently from the first and
transfers torque from a second stepper motor to the ribbon rewind assembly.
