7 Mechanical Setup
Install controller near conveyor
The controller must be installed at close proximity to the conveyor where it will be used. The controller
and the stall must be connected with a cable no longer than 5 m.
Place Head on conveyor
Install the head on the conveyor so that the "sole" is as close to your media(box/paper) as possible. A
distance of no more than 1mm is recommended. 0,5 mm is optimal. It is recommended to respect the
following:
The nozzles must be 90 degrees exactly in relation to the print direction. If the angle is not exactly 90
degrees, you will get slanted print and overlap 2, 3 or 4 pen heads.
The head must be absolutely parallel to the media.
Setup sensor
Install the start sensor so it senses only the product start. You should have some distance from the
sensor to the head, more distance if you run faster.
Connect encoder
The encoder is optional, but strongly recommended for accurate printing.
There are 2 types of encoder:
a. Encoder with hollow shaft.
