Abstract
A print carriage drive assembly for an ink jet printer. The print carriage drive assembly includes a tensioned drive belt, and a compliant belt connect that applies a driving force to a print carriage at location that is displaced from the drive belt. The tensioned drive belt and the belt connect further isolate the print carriage from drive force variations.
