Abstract
An adjustment mechanism is structured to adjust and fix a liquid discharge head in position on a base plate. The adjustment mechanism includes a first plate, a second plate, a pivotable cam, and a first biasing unit. The first plate is changeable in position in a circumferential direction relative to the base plate. The first plate is fixed to the base plate. The second plate is mounted on the first plate movably relative to the first plate in a direction different from the circumferential direction. The liquid discharge head is fixed to the second plate. A first biasing unit biases the second plate toward the pivotable cam in a horizontal direction to prevent the second plate from lifting upward off the first plate. The pivotable cam is operable to move the second plate against an biasing force of the first biasing unit and to locate the second plate.
