Abstract
A method of assembling a printhead which has a receiving member and a plurality of printhead modules arranged end-to-end in the receiving member includes, upon completion of manufacturing the receiving member, testing each bay of the receiving member in which a module will be received to determine a manufacturing offset from specification for that bay. A printhead module is selected having a manufacturing offset from specification which compensates for the offset of the bay of the receiving member for which it has been selected and the printhead module is then inserted into its associated bay of the receiving member.
