I've pulled a couple of Multi-Function printer/scanners to bit's recently for play parts. Both have had a couple of long timing belts, one for the print head and the other for the scanner part. One Canon, one Brother. The belts have been attached to the components they move by clamps which they are threaded through - remove the tension and they slip out. The scanners have had stepper motors but the print head drive's have been conventional motors with optical encoders.

One unit was given to me the other was purchased for a couple or dollars from the recycle market at a regional tip.
