E106614 - Linear Encoder Board

Linear Encoder Board — Mimaki JV33 / JV5 / CJV30 — E106614 / E103961

The Linear Encoder Board (part no. E106614 / E103961) is the linear encoder sensor board mounted on the print carriage of Mimaki large-format printers. It reads position data from the encoder strip to determine the exact position of the print head on the horizontal axis.

This sensor transmits position data in real time to the motherboard, which synchronises the firing of the nozzles with the carriage’s movement. This precision ensures perfect alignment of the ink droplets and high-resolution print quality.

A genuine Mimaki part, part number E106614 replaces the previous part number E103961. The two part numbers are interchangeable and fit in the same location without modification.

Function

• Reads the exact position of the print carriage from the encoder strip
• Transmits positioning data to the motherboard in real time
• Synchronises nozzle firing with carriage movement
• Ensures precise alignment of ink droplets on the media
• Enables high-resolution printing and bidirectional registration

Possible symptoms in the event of a fault

• Recurring horizontal misalignment between print passes
• Vertical bands or a visible ‘jaggied’ effect on printouts
• Encoder error message on the control panel
• Carriage no longer positions correctly or overshoots its travel
• Unable to align in both directions despite adjustments

Replacing the Linear Encoder Board restores carriage positioning accuracy and nozzle synchronisation, which are essential for optimal print quality on all compatible Mimaki machines.
