Note
This process is important for
proper operation of the FlexJet.
The sleeved ribbon cables require
a firm connection to the traverse
at the middle of the printer and
at the right end of the traverse.
Leave existing foam tape if the
pieces are still sticky and not
bunched up. Apply the included
foam adhesive tape to the existing
foam tape if necessary.
6. While maintaining tension on the carriage belt, attach the car-
riage belt clips to each side of the carriage base.
7. Tighten the carriage belt tensioner by rotating the
screw four, full clockwise turns.
Step 8: Install the carriage cover
1. Install the carriage cover by aligning it with the base and pushing
back until the tabs by the belt ends grab onto the carriage base.
2. Press against the cover tabs to ensure that they 'snap' into the
slots in the carriage base. (Figure 62.)
3. Install the #6-32 screw at the right side of the carriage cover.

Step 9: Secure and arrange the ribbon cable bundle - Part 1
1. Hold the ribbon cable bundle out of the way and attach a 10-cm
piece of the supplied double sided foam tape to the traverse
channel to the right of the existing tape (if present) at the
middle of the machine. Remove the tape backing so that the
side facing up is exposed.
2. Repeat this process near the right end plate, but place the tape
to the left of the existing tape (if present). Remove the tape
backing so that the side facing up is exposed.
3. Slide the carriage over to the left endplate and hold it in place. As
the left side of the carriage just touches the small round bumpers,
look at the ribbon cable bundle loop. It should leave a small gap of
no more than .08-in (2-mm) between the sleeving and the left end-
plate where the carriage base touches the bumpers. (Figure 59.)
4. To the right of the carriage, hold the ribbon cable bundle down
firmly in the traverse channel with the left hand.
