• Guide Shaft: Keeps the print head stable.
• Sensors: Detect print head position.
• Flat Ribbon Data Cable: Connects the print head to the circuit board.

Question 11

inkjet printer

ink cartridge

Answer 11

Some have built in print heads of thermal heads that last with the printer. cartridge reservoir has sensors to detect the level of ink remaining of CYMK inks determine by driver.

Question 12

inkjet printer

print head alignment?

Answer 12

If output is skewed, use the print head alignment
function from the printer’s property sheet to calibrate the printer.
