Maintenance 3-25
CAUTION
Use extreme care when performing this
calibration on the NovaJet 505 printers.
The actual head height that is to be
achieved is 0.125” +/- 0.003”. The read-
ing will only be correct if the gage rotated
one complete turn before stopping at 17.
If the head is adjusted for 0.025” instead
of 0.125” head strikes and quality issues
will be apparent.
NOTE
The actual measurement is different than the true head
height due to the fact that the test cartridge does not con-
tain a jet plate assembly. A difference had to be calcu-
lated to compensate for the lack of a jet plate assembly on
the test cartridge.
9. Tighten the screw on the left side of the stabilizer.
10. While lifting up the measuring tip of the micrometer, slide the
Carriage to the right until the next stabilizer screw is lined up.
Position it as close to the screw as possible and drop the
measuring tip onto the platen. Do this a couple of times to
ensure an accurate reading.
11. Move the left end of the stabilizer bracket until a correct
reading is observed. Read only the RED numbers on the
micrometer gauge.
12. Tighten the screw on the stabilizer that is next to the Carriage.
13. Continue performing steps 10 through 12 until all four of the
stabilizer screws have been adjusted.
