Removing the X Encoder Strip
1. Power OFF the printer. See “Powering Off” (page 182).
2. Open the appropriate front or rear top access doors. See “Opening Top Access Doors
Front/Rear” (page 184).
3. Manually move the Y-bridge to the center of the gantry.
4. Using a marker, trace 1 side of the existing encoder strip to provide an alignment guide for
re-installation.
Caution:
Magnetizing the encoder strip will guarantee failure. Do not allow the encoder strip to contact the
magnetic plates in the gantry, or any other magnetic components.
When performing maintenance procedures inside the gantry area, power must be removed from
the printer, or the top right access door must remain open to ensure that the interlock is
disengaged.
Always perform lockout-tagout of the AC power cord in accordance with customer
site procedures.
