Y Fine Adjustment
The purpose of the Y fine axis adjustment is to get the bottom of the carriage as close as possible to the ink wells
without leaving a gap or pressing too hard. Also, proper adjustment assures the inkjet heads will be capped so the
heads do not dry out.
1) Turn on the FlexJet and let it initialize.
2) Open the "FlexJet Control Center" software.
3) When the window opens press Ctrl-Alt-B. You should
see the following window.
4) Look at the gap between the bottom of the carriage
and the service station. With the Y fine adjust set
there will be a large gap between the top of the grey
ink wells and the bottom of the carriage.
Look at the gap between the carriage and service station.
5) Click the "Move carriage out from SS" button. The
carriage will move out of the Service Station.
6) Change the "Y fine adjust" number to -800 and click
the "Set fine adjust" button.
7) Click on the "Return carriage to SS" button. The car-
riage will move back into the Service Station.
8) Follow steps 4 thru 6 again adding 100 to the "Y
fine adjust" number each time until the bottom of the
carriage is just close to touching the grey ink wells.
WARNING: Do not let the bottom of the carriage "Press"
against the ink wells. This can cause failure of the
machine to initialize.
9) Reduce the gap further by adding smaller numbers.
Note: A Y fine adjust change of 25 mils results in a gap
change that is equivalent to the thickness of a piece
of paper.
10) Press and hold the "UP" arrow on the keypad of the
plotter. While holding the button turn the machine
back on. When the carriage starts to move let go of
the button.
11) Once the carriage is back in the service station check
the gap one more time to make sure they are touch-
ing.
