(3) After the print head has been mounted at the required angle, check the ink
flow from the controller to the print head (for initial start up it may be
useful to place tissue beneath the print head face):
(a) If the print head face is weeping:
(i) Ensure the bottom edge of the print head is the same height as
the bottom face of the controller.
(ii) Ensure that the print head angle has not exceeded 25
º.
(iii) If the print head is still weeping, it is recommended to lower the
controller slightly whilst observing the print, until the weeping
around the lower dot position has stopped.
(b) If any dots are missing from the message (particularly at the top), it
may suggest that the controller is positioned too low in relation to the
print head. In this instance, the controller should be raised slightly
whilst observing the print until the dots re-appear.
