Dynamically adjustable inkjet printer carriage

摘要

The spacing between the printhead (34) of an inkjet printer cartridge (28) and the print medium (24) is dynamically controlled by an apparatus that slightly rotates the carriage that holds the cartridge. In one embodiment, the rotation is effected by actuation of a cam (60) that resides between the rotatable carriage (20) and a fixed part of the printer (50). The printhead-to-paper spacing is thus optimized for highest print quality. <IMAGE>
