e) Printhead maintenance unit
This printer cleans the printhead with the carriage halted at its home position.
Wiping is executed in sync with the rotation of the motor. Wipers mounted on the carriage wipe the printhead
while the carriage is halted at its home position.
A maintenance jet is discharged as the carriage travels to pass the maintenance jet tray to the right of the plant.
A suction operation is carried out by a suction cap in t he purge unit.
f) Carriage height adjustment unit
When the lift motor is driven to rotate the lift lever, the carriage shaft height is varied to change the separation
between the face of the printhead and the paper.
The printhead height is detected by the multisensor attached to the lower left part of the carriage
g) Multisensor
The multisensor attached to the lower left part of the carriage consists of four LEDs (red, blue, green, infrared)
and two light-receiving sensors to detect the leading edges and width of paper and skews in it, and to adjust its
registration and head height.
The multisensor standard has a white plate attached to it, so that a reference value can be calculated during paper
gap measurement by measuring the intensity of light reflected upon the white plate.
