• Be sure to correct the dot position after altering the print head height. "Correcting the Drop
Position"(P. 84)
• With inkjet printers, if the gap between the print head and media increases, the ink droplets tend
to vaporize before they reach the media. Vaporized ink may adhere to the print head nozzle
surface and media, affecting print quality and causing failure of the print head. Adjust the print
head height to suit the media.
