Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a position encoder that can avoid failures due to mixing of ink or dust. SOLUTION: An encoder system includes an encoding medium, having a plurality of encoder target portions alternating with a plurality of encoder window portions. A sensor is movable, in relation to the encoding medium. A signal source provides an electronic drive signal to the sensor and sensor electronics coupled to the sensor sense the electrical characteristics of a code strip, to determine whether the sensor is next to an encoder target portion or is next to an encoder window portion.
