Abstract
An assembly of a large format media handling system, including a planar longitudinal cross structure; and a support structure, the support structure including two side supports comprising a number of fixed references and at least one adjustable reference, wherein the side supports are supported by the longitudinal cross structure at said references; wherein the at least one adjustable reference is formed by a wedge element slidably attached to the support structure; and the side supports are fixed to the planar longitudinal cross structure wherein the cross structure is in contact with all of the references.
Claims14
A method of providing an assembly of a media handling system, the assembly including a planar longitudinal cross structure and a support structure, the support structure comprising at least three fixed references and at least one adjustable reference disposed among two side supports of the support structure, the method comprising:
- positioning the cross structure relative to the side supports of the support structure, whereby the cross structure contacts the at least three fixed references on the side supports;
- adjusting the at least one adjustable reference while the cross structure contacts the at least three fixed references, whereby the cross structure also contacts the at least one adjustable reference on the side supports;
- and
- fixing the planar longitudinal cross structure to the side supports.
An assembly of a large format media handling system, including:
- a planar longitudinal cross structure;
- and
- a support structure, the support structure comprising a number of fixed references and at least one adjustable reference disposed among two side supports of the support structure, wherein the side supports are supported by the longitudinal cross structure at the number of fixed references and the at least one adjustable reference,
- wherein the side supports are fixed to the planar longitudinal cross structure such that the cross structure is in contact with all of the fixed references and the at least one adjustable reference, and
- wherein the cross structure is a mounting base plate of a large format printer and the side supports comprise side plates to support substructures of a large format printer.
A large format printer, including:
- a planar longitudinal base plate;
- and
- two side plates, each of the two side plates comprising two fixed references and two adjustable references, wherein the side plates are supported by the longitudinal base plate at said references;
- and
- wherein:
- the adjustable references are formed by wedge elements slidably attached to the side plates;
- and
- the side plates are fixed to the longitudinal base plate in contact with all of the references.
