Alignments/Adjustments

The ENCAD NovaJet 850 printers are designed with a minimum of maintenance requirements in mind. Calibrations include: color calibration, deadband alignment, and X-axis calibration. The mechanical adjustment requirements include the slide shaft profile and cartridge head height adjustments. They do not require any electrical alignments.

Slide Shaft Profile Adjustment

The NovaJet 850 printers Slide Shaft height is factory set and is firmly mounted on the outer sides and only has adjustments in the middle portion of the shaft, to remove any bowing of the shaft’s profile. The following procedure is to ensure that the Slide Shaft is relatively perpendicular to the surface of the Platen and to remove any bowing that may be present in the shaft’s profile.

The Slide Shaft is set to 1.418” (36cm) from the top of the Slide Shaft to the Platen surface for the NovaJet 850 printer. The normal operating range for the height of the Slide Shaft is between 1.390” (35.3cm) to 1.440” (36.6cm).
