Chapter 1 Fully Utilizing the Machine
The gap between the "highest position of the media" and the "lowest position
of the print surface" should be 2 mm (78 .7 mil) or less (as a general guide) .
The print quality at the lower position degrades as the height gap widens .

Expanding the Distance between the Media and the Print Heads
When you set the height of the media automatically (First Step Guide), the distance between the media and
the print heads is set to 1 .0 mm (39 .4 mil) with which optimum printing is performed . However, if the height
(thickness) of the media on which printing is performed varies or when the media is lifted or warped during
printing, the media might come into contact with the print heads .
You can expand the distance in advance considering the change of the height (thickness) of the media .
NOTE
•
If the distance is expanded too much, the print quality may be deteriorated and the nozzles of the print
heads may be clogged . Configure the settings so that the distance between the highest position of the
media and the lowest position of the print surface is 2 mm or less (p . 11) .
•
This setting is enabled when the height of the media is set automatically .
