What Is an Encoder Strip?
The encoder strip (also called a CR scale or linear encoder strip) is a transparent or semi-transparent strip that runs along the carriage path inside your printer. It contains fine positional markings that the printer's sensor reads to know exactly where the print head is at all times. A worn, dirty, or damaged encoder strip can cause misaligned prints, banding, or error codes — replacing it restores precise carriage movement and print quality.
