5.1.3 Trigger to Printhead Distance
The Trigger to Printhead Distance button allows you to specify the distance between the
trigger and the printhead (see ‘Print Trigger’ on page 59 for more information about print
triggers). If the printhead and sensor do not move, the Trigger to Printhead Distance is the
same for all products printed on the selected line. The distance is zero if the printhead and
the sensor are in the same position. If the sensor position is changed, you can change the
value.
Change the Trigger to Printhead Distance
Touch the Trigger to Printhead Distance button to display the Enter Trigger to Printhead
Distance screen.
