4.4.1 Print Module Components
The print module consists of a housing unit, an actuator block assembly, three 
solenoid operated air cylinders, a linear slide, a printhead mounting block and 
printhead.
All three cylinders are mounted into an actuator block assembly.
The actuator block also provides connection points for the cylinder air supplies.
The actuator block and printhead mounting block are connected to a linear slide.
Two of the cylinders are used to move the actuator block to the “Prime position” 
ready to print.
The third cylinder is used to move the printhead mounting block and printhead to 
the printing position.
