Novajet PROe Series Service Manual
If the test file prints correctly, the problem lies in either the soft-
ware package that generated the print or the RIP, if used.
Alignments/Adjustments
The ENCAD Novajet PROe Series printers are designed with a
minimum of maintenance requirements in mind. Calibrations
include: color calibration, deadband alignment, and X-axis calibra-
tion. 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 PROe series printers Slide Shaft height is factory set
to 1.418” (36mm) from the top of the Slide Shaft to the Platen
surface. The normal operating range for the height of the Slide
Shaft is between 1.390” (35.3mm) to 1.440” (36.6mm). The Slide
Shaft is firmly mounted on the outer sides and only has adjust-
ments 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.
