• Be sure to correct the dot position after altering the print head height. "Correcting the Drop
Position"(P. 65)
• Adjust the print head height to suit the media. With inkjet printers, if the gap between the print
and media increases, the ink droplets may 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.
