Abstract
A d.c. motor positions printing mechanisms. A circuit arrangement is provided in which a scanner disc, having peripheral slots, is arranged on the shaft of the motor and the slots are scanned by a scanner and counted in the positive direction and in the negative direction by a counter so that the position of the printing mechanism is determined. When the d.c. motor is decelerated and a generator voltage arises, the direction is determined by a rotation direction discriminator which evaluates the generator voltage and the zero transition thereof in the event of a change in the rotation direction of the d.c. motor. To control the direction of counting of the counter.
