Abstract
A modular printer chassis, particularly for large scale printers, includes a lower media module which provides a rigid platen media support surface connected to an upper scanning carriage support module by a plurality of fasteners which are tightened at the time of assembly to thereafter permanently hold the modules, which are accurately positioned with the aid of a gauge at the time of assembly, in place so that the accurate inkjet printhead to media spacing in the print zone is maintained.
