EPSON Stylus Pro 4000 2.2.4.2 Platen Gap Adjustment Components The Carriage Unit (= Print Head) installation position must always maintain a fixed distance from the paper surface in order to preserve printing precision. The Carriage Unit is supported by 2 Carriage Shafts. The Carriage Unit moves up and down with the rotation of the Carriage Shafts because of the eccentric bushings attached to both ends of each Carriage Shaft. This movement changes the gap between the Print Head surface and the Platen surface. Main platen gap adjustment mechanism components and their functions are explained in the following sections.
