The motor you described is a stepper motor.
Arislan:

Admin:
odd . . . how do they expect to sell a motor if they dont release simple information like torque or rpm? its not like we can just steal the torque or anything . . .
Arislan:
I can only think it was custom made by them for Epson and they don't want Epson on their case.
That said, how do I supply power to it? There are 4 wires...and I have no idea on the pinouts...
Admin:
Ehhh if you dont have a pinout, then just guess by randomly hooking up power/ground wires. You will notice a specific pattern will get it to rotate in a particular direction. Write up a chart of combinations. You can do this with a direct connection from a battery. I would guess it would have the same pattern as other steppers they sell . . .
To control it electronically you will need a stepper driver . . .
