Setting the Height of the Object to Be Printed On Manually

This section explains how to manually set the height of the object to be printed on. This is suited to the case when you do not want the head gap sensor to come in contact with the object to be printed on and the case when you want to set the distance between the print heads and the object to be printed on. The manual setting takes a little longer than the automatic setting because you need to visually set the height. If the print surface is uneven, there is a limit to the area of unevenness.

Procedure

    IMPORTANT

    Set the height of the table in a way that the highest position of the print surface will not come into contact with the head gap sensor. Note that print quality will deteriorate as the distance between the head gap sensor and print surface widens.
