Introduction

This manual provides service information for the ENCAD

, Inc.

Novajet

PROe Series Color Inkjet Printer. There are two ver-

sions of the Novajet PROe printer: Novajet PRO 42e
and Novajet PRO 60e.

It is written for service personnel who possess analog and digital
circuitry experience. Chapter 2, Theory of Operation, should be read
and thoroughly understood before troubleshooting/calibrating the
printers.
