Carriage Cover Height Adjustment - Epson Stylus Pro 9000 Service Manual

EPSON Stylus Pro 9000

CARRIAGE COVER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

This adjustment is necessary for service operations that require you to remove
the carriage cover. The carriage cover limits the operation of the cutter-
solenoid actuator, and it acts in a way to fix the stroke or movement of the
cutter during paper-cutting operations.
1. Set the "CR Cover Position Adjustment Tool #F724" at the specified
position on the surface of the Lower Paper Guide so that it lines up with the
subplaten as shown below.
2. While lining up the indented gutter of the tool with the cutter blade, move
the carriage over the tool. Make sure the tool fits tightly against the
subplaten and Lower Paper Guide while securing the cutter blade in the
gutter.
The cutter blade is very hard, so be careful not to
strike the blade against metal parts as this can
damage the blade.
Adjustment
3. While holding the cutter in position with the tool, push the carriage cover
down to fix the cutter in place.
4. Replace the two carriage cover screws, move the carriage, and remove the
tool.
Set the tool here.
Adjustment Steps
The standard height from the cutter's bottom surface to
the subplaten's upper surface is 9.75 ± 0.25mm.
