ABSTRACT:
A print head positioner includes a tilt mechanism that selectively engages and moves a carriage supporting the print head when the print head and supporting carriage are in a home position. The print head positioner is uncoupled from the carriage X-axis drive mechanism during imaging to avoid extraneous loading on the mechanism. The positioner includes interlocks to prevent inadvertent disengagement from the carriage during tilting and to restrict print head tilting when the carriage is away from the home position.
