Selecting a Head Delay
! To Select a Head Delay:
• From in the H
EADS group box in the CONFIGURATION dialog box, , set
each color’s delay.
The reference is of the distance in dots from each Print Head to the
nearest one. The first Print Head is therefore always referenced as zero.
For initial reference, the distance between each Print Head is about
4,000 dots. Other units of measure can be selected through the
Preference dialog box.
The new values that you have entered will be used for the present preset
material after closing the screen, by clicking OK.
Setting the Head Shift
! To set the Head Shift:
• From the H
EADS group box in the CONFIGURATION dialog box, set each
color’s Shift. The H
EAD SHIFT determines the point (i.e. the distance
from the first hot dot) where the P
RINT HEAD will start the print.
The first hot dot is the zero point from the right. Each increase in shift
will move the printing to the left.
The H
EAD SHIFT unit of measure is dots. Each HEAD SHIFT unit (dot) is
equal to 0.0635mm* of P
RINT WIDTH. For example, setting the HEAD
SHIFT to 1000, means that the HEAD will start printing 1000 x
0.0635mm (=6.35cms) from its first dot. You should note that the
maximum print width will now be 90-6.35 = 83.6cms. 'H
EAD SHIFT' is
limited to 15.840 (100 Cm).
* A pixel size in 50DPI Tiff, is 0.508mm (8 x 0.0635) exactly on the X-axis.
