Encoder Strip for Epson L380 / M100 / M200 Series
or 3 instalments of LKR 933.34 with Koko (includes a 12% Koko service charge)
Description
The Encoder Strip for Epson L380 / M100 / M200 Series is a precision replacement carriage-positioning strip designed for compatible Epson inkjet printers. Also known as the CR Scale, carriage encoder strip, encoder film or printhead position strip, this transparent precision-marked film works together with the carriage encoder sensor to determine the exact position and movement of the printhead carriage. During printing, the sensor reads the fine markings on the strip so the printer can control horizontal carriage movement accurately. A contaminated, scratched, bent, stretched, detached or damaged encoder strip can cause symptoms such as shifted printing, incorrect alignment, distorted text or graphics, repeated horizontal positioning errors, abnormal carriage movement and CR encoder-related faults. Epson service documentation for the M100 and M200 printer family identifies the CR Scale and CR Encoder Sensor as separate components within the carriage-positioning mechanism. Replacing a damaged encoder strip can help restore accurate carriage positioning and normal print operation. Because the strip is delicate and must be routed correctly through the carriage encoder sensor without fingerprints, scratches or excessive tension, careful professional installation is recommended.
