ABSTRACT:
Printer heads are precision mounted relative to a plate on a printer carriage by assembling a plurality of identical printer head assemblies, each of the printer head assemblies including a printer head precision mounted to a printer head carrier, each of the printer head carriers having at least three alignment points. Openings are provided in a plate in precise locations corresponding to desired locations and orientations of the printer head assemblies on the plate. The openings each have at least three alignment points corresponding to the three alignment points on each of the printer head carriers. The printer head assemblies are positioned in corresponding ones of the openings and a force is applied against the printer head assemblies, such as by springs mounted on the plate, to cause the at least three alignment points on the printer head carriers to contact respective ones of the at least three alignment points in the corresponding ones of the openings. A printer head carriage having printer heads precision mounted to a plate is also disclosed.
