General Procedures/Information
dC967 Head to Drum Spacing Check
Purpose
To check the head to drum spacing. The procedure checks for contact between each printhead
and the drum.
This check will run automatically if a new printhead serial number is detected during power-up.
The dc967 window will not be present, but a status message will reflect this check is taking
place.
If a printhead is reinstalled (not replaced) in the same position on a carriage, the machine will
not recognize it as new during power-up, and this check will not automatically occur. To prevent
carriages from automatically docking during power-up, boot the machine directly into IME
Diagnostics Mode,
GP 1 and then proceed to step 1 anytime a printhead has been reinstalled.
Procedure
The procedure normally takes approximately 7 - 10 minutes to run and cannot be stopped once
in operation.
NOTE: The dC967 routine will stop if potential printhead to drum contact is detected. If poten-
tial printhead to drum contact is identified, perform
ADJ 91.1 Printhead Attachment Check.
Perform the following:
1. Boot the machine directly into IME Diagnostics Mode, GP 1 .
2. Select the Diagnostics tab.
3. Select dC967 Head to Drum Spacing Check.
4. Select Start. The following sequence of events are controlled by the IME:
• The IME brings the printhead and drum to operating temperature.
• The drum is stopped.
• Both the upper and lower carriage assemblies are placed into the docked position.
• The upper carriage assembly is parked while the lower carriage is docked and the
process is reversed.
• Once the temperature measurements are complete, the IME will move the carriage
assemblies into the parked position.
• Results are reported:
– Passed.
– Head to Drum Spacing Check Failed.
5. Select Start to repeat the process or Close to exit the procedure.
6. Select Close to return to the service mode window.
