SETTING A PRINT JOB
When setting a print job, it is good practice to prepare the site - ensuring that the
printer and conveyor are set correctly. The following steps outline this set up
procedure:
A Multi-head Base Unit should be mounted in a suitable position to enable the
control units to be mounted within 3 metres of the base. Each print head can be
set up as follows:
(1) Calculate exactly where the message is to be
printed on the surface of the substrate. For
this example, the message is printed on the
box.
(2) To calculate how high to set the print head,
place the print surface (box) onto the
conveyor next to the control unit, measure
from the lowest point of the intended
message to the conveyor surface. This
measurement will be where the bottom of
the nozzle plate will need to be set.
(3) Measure from the bottom of the nozzle plate
to the conveyor. Ensure this measurement
matches the distance from step (2). If not,
loosen the black plastic fixing knob on the
front of the base unit and adjust to the
desired height.
