Checking the Height of the Object before Printing

When you have finished setting up the object, the clearance between the head gap sensor (A) and the object (B) is set to 0.5 mm (0.02 in.)*1.

This machine prints while the object moves from the front to the back (from the right to the left in the above figure).

Depending on the object, the height may change after setup due to such factors as warping of the media causing the tape that secured the object to peel off. In such cases, the object may come into contact with the head gap sensor and damage it.

If it is difficult to secure the object, if inexperienced operators are using the machine, and in similar situations, we recommend that you configure the Operation before Printing setting to check the height of the object before printing. Note, however, that enabling this setting increases the time before printing starts. Configure this setting appropriately according to the level of user experience and the secured state of the object.
