Alignments/Adjustments; Slide Shaft Profile Adjustment - ENCAD NovaJet 800 Series Service Manual

Alignments/Adjustments

The ENCAD NovaJet 850 printers are designed with a minimum of
maintenance requirements in mind. Calibrations include: color calibration,
deadband alignment, and X-axis calibration. The mechanical adjustment
requirements include the slide shaft profile and cartridge head height
adjustments. They do not require any electrical alignments.

Slide Shaft Profile Adjustment

The NovaJet 850 printers Slide Shaft height is factory set and is firmly
mounted on the outer sides and only has adjustments in the middle portion
of the shaft, to remove any bowing of the shaft's profile. The following
procedure is to ensure that the Slide Shaft is relatively perpendicular to
the surface of the Platen and to remove any bowing that may be present
in the shaft's profile.
The Slide Shaft is set to 1.418" (36cm) from the top of the Slide Shaft to
the Platen surface for the NovaJet 850 printer. The normal operating
range for the height of the Slide Shaft is between 1.390" (35.3cm) to
1.440" (36.6cm).
