Introduction
This chapter explains the mechanical and electrical theory of opera-
tion of the ENCAD Croma24 D-Size Color Inkjet printer.
The Croma24 is a MC68322 microprocessor-based digital printer
that receives plotting instructions from a host computer through
either the RS-422 serial interface or the Centronics parallel inter-
face.

The Croma24 printer consists of two mechanical drives:
1.
Paper (Media) Axis Drive
2.
Carrier Axis Drive
and three main electrical assemblies:
