Adjusting the head height
If the LED sensors aren't level, use these
instructions but only adjust one of the
blocks
Manually move the print head carriage toward the capping station. Move the media table to
the far right. Press and hold the down arrow button until the elevator stops moving.
Press and hold then press to move the media table toward the print engine until
the front edge of the table is past the LED sensor on the print head assembly.
If you have a
standard drive, you can push the table with your hand at a slow speed. Do not manually push the
table if you have a direct drive.
See picture below. This will cause the elevator to adjust to the
height of the sensors.
Press and hold then use the arrow keys to move the media table so the front edge is
under the print head.
If you have a standard drive, you can push the table with your hand at a
slow speed. Do not manually push the table if you have a direct drive.
Place the print head near
the center of the media table. Slide the Head Height Gauge between the media table and
print head. It should slide easily, but not have a gap larger than the thickness of a piece of
copier paper.
Each full turn of the adjustment screw
equals .010" (0.25mm)
If the Gauge will not fit:
a. Loosen the locking screws on both blocks
b. Turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise the same
number of turns on both blocks
c. Test the Gauge again and repeat adjustments until satisfied
d. Tighten the locking screws on both blocks.
If the gap is too large:
a. Loosen the locking screws on both blocks
b. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise the same number of
turns on both blocks
c. Test the Gauge again and repeat adjustments until satisfied
d. Tighten the locking screws on both blocks.
