Appendix D, Multi-Needle Setup and Use
A multi-dispenser bracket can be installed on the Zaxis to accommodate up to ve

set for each dispenser. After the system is set up for multi-needle operation, you can insert
the Multi Needle dispense command to specify which dispenser executes the commands
that follow the Multi-Needle command.
NOTE: For contact dispensing applications with multiple dispensers, an additional toggle
assembly is required for the multi-dispenser bracket.

The system is properly set up. Refer to “Setting Up and Calibrating the System (Required)” on page 37.
