Abstract (en)
An ink-jet printer includes pagewidth printheads (104) mounted in a frame (101), wherein the printheads are coupled to mechanical devices (106, 107) for aligning the printheads with respect to each other, with respect to an edge of the image receiving substrate (100), or with respect to both. The printer may include devices (114, 115, 116,117, 118) for sensing the possible misalignment, coupled to a computer for automatically aligning the printheads. <IMAGE>
