Change in Carriage
Early DesignJet 200 plotters were manufactured with the following cartridge carriage:
DCartridge Carriage, C1633:60120 (including Carriage PCA, C2847:60103), now obsolete. Later DesignJet 200 plotters, and DesignJet 220 plotters, have a new cartridge carriage:
DCartridge Carriage, C2847:60071 (including Carriage PCA, C2847:60125).
The new carriage is not compatible with the DesignJet 200 firmware revision A.01.00. In combination, they destroy the cartridges. If you install a new carriage, ensure that the firmware revision of the EPROMs or masked ROMs on the main PCA is later than A.01.00. Later firmware revisions can be installed with either carriage.
Change in Bail and Overdrive Parts
DesignJet 200 plotters, and early DesignJet 220 plotters, were manufactured with 9 starwheel mounts on D/A1:size models, and 13 starwheel mounts on E/A0:size models.
To reduce the risk of the media:path geometry sometimes causing media to cockle and ink to smear, later DesignJet 220 plotters include an extra starwheel mount towards the right:hand side of the bail. (The problem was greatest when loading A/A4:size media.)
If you are ordering a new bail, overdrive roller or overdrive enclosure, ensure that you order the appropriate part corresponding with the number of starwheel mounts on the plotter. A service rework kit is available if you need to replace all 9: or 13:starwheel:mount parts with 10: or 14:starwheel:mount parts respectively. (Part numbers page 10:24b.)
