hi everyone i recently bought a used printer for about 3 dollars
it is still functioning and working very good
i didnt buy it to print paper but to use the motors rails sensors etc
i found a very good and weird sensor idk how it is working or how to disassemble it
the printer is one stepper motor to get the paper down and one brushed motor for the x axis (the ink left and right)
the ink box has a bult in sensor which emmits red light on a transparent plastic thing and gets reads from it about the coordinates of the ink box
i want to use the whole thing but with my arduino but idk how to get reading from that sensor
the printer is lexmark z640
thx in advance
