[Digital BW] Re: Help! 1160 Printing Problem

2001-09-23 by Martin Wesley

This is the clear plastic support arm for the CIS ink tubing that 
holds it up above the print head carriage as the carriage moves back 
and forth during printing. The arm is attached to the case of the 
printer under the lid on the right side by using one half of a pair 
of Velcro pieces. The bottom piece has a peal off contact adhesive to 
hold the Velcro to the printer case. The other side of the Velcro is 
attached to the CIS support arm.

It looks like the adhesive gets tired after awhile, slowly comes 
loose and the support arm droop lower and lower and finally will 
impact with the moving print head if you don't spot it in time or the 
lines will start to dray. Makes a horrible sound and is not likely to 
be very good for the printer.

If you don't have a CIS, it is hard to describe without pictures.
