Abstract
A printer assembly and a method for determining the position of a printer component, such as a printer paper-feed roller, during a move of the printer component from an initial position toward a desired final position. An analog encoder is operatively connected to the printer component, and a threshold device is connected to the analog output of the analog encoder. The position of the printer component is determined from the digital output of the threshold device and a digitization of the analog output of the analog encoder.
