Setting the Print Head Speed

This section explains how to set the print head's movement speed during printing (Head Speed).

Increasing Head Speed will shorten the printing time but lower the image quality. Decreasing Head Speed will have the opposite effect.

Consider the balance between printing time and image quality when setting this value.
