1.2.4 Encoder strip
When machine is under printing, the carriage assembly moves leftwards and rightwards along a transparent strip,
which is called encoder strip
Figure
1.2.4-
1. The encoder strip controls the movement of carriage assembly where to
move to and where to stop. There is small calibration on the encoder strip, which will be read by the raster encoder
(behind the carriage assembly). If the encoder strip is stained or scratched, it will affect the reading by raster encoder, so
that the carriage movement accuracy will be also affected.
