Abstract
A spittoon beam system and a printer that includes a spittoon beam system. The system has a spittoon beam spanning and movably mounted to spaced spaced parallel tracks. The spittoon beam is driven along the tracks by a first motor and a second motor coupled to respective ends of the spittoon beam. A first motor driver is coupled to the first motor and a second motor driver coupled the second motor. The system is configured so that the first motor driver controls an output shaft speed of the first motor independently of the second motor driver, and the second motor driver controls an output shaft speed of the second motor independently of the first motor driver.
