In an inkjet printer, which component is primarily responsible for moving the print-head carriage back and forth across the page during the printing process?
The carriage belt attaches to the print-head carriage and is driven by a motor and pulleys. As the belt moves, it transports the carriage-and the print heads and ink cartridges mounted on it-smoothly across the paper so ink can be deposited precisely. A worn or loose carriage belt can cause misalignment, skipped lines, or a complete carriage jam, while the other listed components do not provide lateral motion for the print head.
