3-3 The Replacement of the Consumable Parts
The Replacement Cycle for the Head Cap
When the head cap becomes worn away as shown in the gure below, it is time for replacement. Replace the
head cap with a new one appropriately.
The degree of wear may vary according to printing conditions. In particular, printing that makes extensive use
of island ll and other line-drawing operations on materials such as aluminum results in especially rapid wear
because of the extensive unevenness on the surface of the instrument to be imprinted. Periodically check the
state of the head cap to ensure that it is replaced as often as needed.
* "Island ll" is a method of printing characters and objects (without lling objects) using lines placed at in-
tervals. For details, refer to the help for METAZAStudio ("Commands"-"[Format] menu"-"Font"-"[Properties]
dialog box").
