Crash Sensor

Crash sensors are installed inside the cover of the print-head carriage.

During printing, when there is a chance that the media will collide with the print head due to factors such as the media wrinkling, lifting up, and warping, the machine immediately stops the operation of the print-head carriage.

Procedure
  1. Check the PrintExp screen.
    If a crash sensor activates, the Anticollision/emergency stop activation window appears.

    • Media wrinkling:

      Smooth out the wrinkles and fix the media in place with tape or something similar.

      Adjust the vacuum so the media does not become lifted, and as necessary fix the media in place with tape or something similar.

    • Media warping:

      Unless the warping can be corrected, replace the media.
