*1 Except when using the optional rotary axis unit.
*2 Depending on the object, it may be possible to print up to 107 mm (4.21 in).
Front/Back/Left/Right Printing Area
The area inside the white frame (BD-8) or the guide line frame (BD-12) (A) of the flat table is the approximate maximum printing area. The machine treats the lower-right corner of the flat table as point 0 (A), and the upper-left corner (B) of the flat table represents the maximum values of W (width) and L (length). The area between these two points (A) and (B) is the maximum printing area.

S and F set in Utility indicate the coordinates of the flat table. The printing area set based on the print origin (C) and the upper left corner (D) is displayed as "W" (length in the S direction) and "L" (length in the F direction). In the case shown in the following figure (for the BD-8), if C (S: 110 mm [4.33 in.], F: 70 mm [2.76 in.]) and D (S: 210 mm [8.27 in.], F: 148 mm [5.83 in.]) are used, the printing area is W: 100 mm (3.94 in.) and L: 78 mm (3.07 in.). The minimum settable printing area is W: 25.4 mm (1 in.) and L: 25.4 mm (1 in.).
Printing Area in the Height Direction
The printing area is within 2 mm (0.08 in.) (b) from the highest printing position (a) of the object. Printing at a height exceeding 2 mm (0.08 in.) (c) is not recommended due to lower print quality.
However, print quality may improve depending on the settings at the time of printing. Set the following based on the height of the print surface.
General or Text Decoration: Difference in height of printed surface is within 2 mm (0.08 in.)
Generic Distance: 2 mm to 6 mm (0.08 in. to 0.23 in.) difference in height of printed surface (2 mm to 4 mm [0.08 in. to 0.15 in.] if Wh is included in the printing)
