Sagging CIS Support Arm Cure

Sagging CIS Support Arm Cure

2001-12-11 by mwesley3

Something that gets mentioned from time to time is that with the 
NoMoreCarts CIS the Velcro attachment on the right end of the support 
arm tends to separate over time allowing the arm to droop.

If you do not check this and push the arm back into position the CIS 
tubing falls into the printer and jams under the print head or the 
head carriage hits the end of the arm causing the printer to make 
horribly lethal sounds. There have been one or two reports of such 
jams trashing the print head mechanism.

I have hit upon a very simple solution to the problem. The CIS is 
supplied with two black rubber corks that are attached to the body of 
the printer to hold up the lid away from the CIS arm and tubing. I 
place the anchor of the right hand cork on top of the tubing at the 
right end of the support arm (just to the left of the line label). 
The weight of the cover is then resting on the CIS support arm and 
holds it firmly in place.
