So if you ask where is located then it depends on your printer models. Most of them are on the right or left side of the printer. This thing works as a measure for the rotation of the main shaft. When this thing rotates, the photo censor counts its rotation. If the decoder is dirty then the photo censor can't read the mark for counting the rotation. So if this problem occurs it is better to clean it with isopropyl.
