Print Head Positions

The latest versions of the imager have two print head positions:
•
Shipping position, in which the print head is closer to the back of the imager. This should be
used prior to shipping the imager to prevent damage to the print head or platen bearings. It
should also be used when cleaning the print head or platen, as the position provides more room
between these components to make cleaning easier.
•
Printing position, in which the print head is positioned closer to the platen, ready for printing.

Changing the Print Head Position

To change the print head position:
1. If imager power is on, select the Open Top Cover menu option to ensure that the print head is
retracted and move on to the next step. If imager power is off, move on to the next step.
2. Open the top cover by pressing one of two green releases as shown under "Opening the Top Cover".
3. Pull up on the two release handles, shown in the following figure, and use the handles to push the
print head back to the shipping position or forward to the printing position.
CAUTION: Position the print head with care. Do not drop the print head into the printing position.
Doing so could cause damage.
4. Lower the release handles to lock the print head into the new position.

Cleaning the Print Head

Before cleaning the print head, you must manually move it to the shipping position. Refer to the
procedure above under "Changing the Print Head Position."
Otherwise, you can follow the procedure as described in "Cleaning the Print Head and Nosepiece" in
the Horizon Imager User's Manual.
The alcohol concentration of the Print Head cleaning pad is 99% IPA.
