HP Deskjet D1660 Encoder Strip Replacement

Inleiding

This guide will replace the encoder strip, which the printer carriage uses to read its speed and position. It runs through the opening of the carriage and is attached to each end of the frame inside the printer. Without this strip, the carriage will slam against the side of the printer when it is turned on.
