Theory of Operation
2-31
Printhead Tilt
The printhead is able to rotate into four basic positions:
1.
Printhead lock / ship position (19.5 degrees): the printhead restraint pins are
resting against the right and left locks. In this position, the printhead tilt arm/
follower is free of the tilt cam, and the head is secured for shipping.
2.
Wipe position (12 degrees): the printhead tilt arm/follower is engaged with the
tilt cam, and the head overload spring contact is engaged with the overload
spring-plate to provide the correct force for the wiper.
3.
Standby position (20.9 degrees): allows the wiper to clear the printhead in order
to be in the start wipe printhead position, and also allow the printhead locks to
pivot and lock or unlock the printhead. In this position, the printhead tilt arm/
follower is engaged at the standby position of the tilt cam.
4.
Print position (0 degrees): the printhead is forward and resting against the right
and left head-to-drum buttons. The head-to-drum buttons define the space
between the jet stack and the drum.
The tilt cam tilts the head into the basic four positions listed above. The cam has five
special features and associated functions:
1.
The cam is combined with a missing tooth gear that allows the cam to be inactive
in the print position. This frees the process drive to perform other printer
operations.
2.
The cam has a latching feature to unlatch and latch the missing tooth gear to
engage the printhead tilt drive train.
3.
The cam profile has a standby dwell (the portion of the cam that has a constant
radius). This holds the printhead back in the standby position
4.
The cam profile has a wipe dwell that holds the printhead back in the wipe
position.
5.
The cam profile increases the power consumption at a specific phase of rotation.
This allows the software to identify a power consumption footprint to alert the
system when the head is locked in error.
The printhead is tilted away from the drum and locked for shipping. The printhead is
locked if the green head lock indicator is above the level of the tray. When the
printhead is locked in the shipping position there are three key restraining elements:
1.
The printhead is restrained from rotating from the shipping position by pins
extending from both ends of the printhead into a pocket. These pockets are
defined by dampening pads that limit motion to the back and polycarbonate locks
that pivot into the lock position and limit forward motion toward the drum. The
locks are held in the lock position by the wiper carriage, and are spring-loaded to
normally be unlocked.
2.
The printhead is restrained at the X-Axis shafts by the right and left head
restraints that limit motion at both ends of the printhead.
3.
The printhead is limited to the nominal motion of 1.7 mm in the X-Axis (left /
right side motion when the printhead is back and locked) by the right lock and the
left home stop on the left side frame.
