READING THE Z-GAP CALIBRATION PRINT
Adjustment Knob Measurement
Adjusting the level plate adjustment knobs should initially be performed
in 1-step increments. If a ner adjustment becomes necessary, adjust the
knobs in 1/2 step increments.
In the illustration, the measurement between 1 and 2 is considered 1-step.
Adjusting the Z-Gap
After installing material cartridges for the rst time, the Z-Gap and the Print
Pad Level should be veried before printing. The Z-Gap should be within
specications before adjusting the Level Gap. If adjustments to the Z-Gap
are necessary, perform the adjustments and then print the calibration le
again to verify the correct Z-Gap. A correct Z-Gap is indicated when there is
no gap in the Closed Z-Gap measurement and there is a gap in the Open
Z-Gap measurement.
NOTE: The Closed Z-Gap (A) and the Open Z-Gap (B) are two
different measurements but should be read together.
Correct Closed Z-Gap
The Closed Z-Gap bars (B) should touch the baseline (A).
