5. The height of the object to be printed on is detected automatically.

The height of the object to be printed on is automatically detected, and the print heads are adjusted to the appropriate height for printing.

Procedure

Press [SETUP].
[SETUP] starts to flash.
Open the front cover.
Press [▲], [▼], [UP] or [DOWN] to move the flat table, bringing the highest position of the print surface into contact with the head gap sensor.
When the head gap sensor reacts, a buzzer goes off.
To fine-tune the height, open the front cover and make the adjustments from a close distance.
Press [▶] to display the screen shown below.
Close the front cover.

IMPORTANT:

The following step moves the flat table rearward. If the object to be printed on hits the head gap sensor forcefully, the object to be printed on may be damaged or the head gap sensor may malfunction.

To re-adjust the height of the object to be printed on, press [◀] and redo the procedure from step 2.
Press [ENTER].
The flat table moves and the height of the object to be printed on is detected. The flat table rises while moving backward and forward until the object to be printed on reaches a position where it comes in contact with the head gap sensor.
When the flat table stops moving and one short beep is heard, the setup is complete.

The height of the object to be printed on will be set automatically to a position about 1 mm (39.4 mil) away from the print head's ink emission surface.
MEMO:
You can change the distance between the ink emission surface of the print heads and the object to be printed on. For details, refer to Adjusting the Distance between the Object to Be Printed On and the Print Heads.
