Setting the Print Head Height Manually

Set the print head height manually so that the distance between the print head and the object to be printed on is optimal.

Manual setting is suitable for printing on soft objects and when you want to set a specific distance between the print head and the surface of the object to be printed on. Set the distance between the print head and the surface of the object to be printed on within the range from 0.8 to 2.0 mm (31.50 to 78.74 mil). A smaller value decreases ink mist but increases the risk that the print head will contact the object to be printed on.

MEMO

Check that the print-head carriage has returned to the maintenance station. If the machine detects an intrusion into the movable range of the print-head carriage while the carriage is not in the maintenance station, the safety protection function is activated to stop the machine.Safety Protection Function
