5.8.6 Testing and Calibration

5.8.6.1 Calibrate Printhead
Due to production tolerances, the R-value between different printheads can vary from the
"ideal" value of 3000.
The different R-values between printheads result in different print results as the value
directly influences the amount of heat generated by the printhead.
Different print results can be avoided by providing the R-value of the specific printhead in
the software. The R-value (4 digits) can be found on the printhead as indicated in the
picture below.
Once the R-value is provided in the software AND the "printhead calibration" function is
activated, the software will adjust the R-value deviation according to the ideal value of 3000
and generate print results that are consistent between different printers.
This function together, with Smart Temp Control, ensure better print result with standard
settings.

To switch ON: Settings-> Printhead Calibration (ON)
Enter the R-vale written on the label of the printhead (field with 2500) and hit 'Calibrate',
confirm and double check with 'Refresh R-value' button.
Make sure to change this value after replacing main board or printhead.
