• If you enter a negative value as the height value, the height position sensor in the machine may
react. Load the fabric correctly so that the printing surface can be flat.
• If the fabric is not correctly set after the height of the cassette is adjusted manually, the machine
might not start printing because a height position sensor in the machine reacts when you send a
print job. In this case, remove the cassette, load the fabric into the cassette correctly, and then load
the cassette into the machine. The image quality might deteriorate if you change the height value
significantly. In this case, adjust the registration.
• Adjust the height little by little so that the print side is not rubbed.
Normally, the height of the cassette is automatically adjusted at the start of printing. If the printed image
is blurry or there is dust stuck to it, or the height of the cassette may not be adjusted appropriately, adjust
the height of the cassette manually using the [Maintenance] menu.
If the distance between the print head and the fabric is too large, the printed image might be blurry. If
this is the case, enter a negative value as the height value.
If the distance between the print head and the fabric is too small, dust might stick to the fabric. If this is
the case, clean both the Maintenance Unit and print head. If the problem is not resolved, enter a positive
value as the height value.
When the distance between the print head and the fabric is suitable, the printed image is satisfactory as
shown in the figure.
