Adjusting The Print Head Height; Types Of Printer Media - Gerber Jetster Owner's Manual

Adjusting the print head height

Depending on the media type and media thickness used, it is possible to adjust the printer's
printhead height from 1.5 mm to 2.0 mm (± 0.15 mm).
The head height can be adjusted using the lever on the left side of the head (please refer to the
pictures above).
When the lever is put in horizontal position (turn counter clockwise) the head is in its highest
position: 2.0 mm. When the lever is turned clockwise, the head is in its lowest position: 1.5 mm.
The lever can only be put in one of the two positions; there are no intermediate positions.
Use the following chart to determine print head position.
LOW – 1.5 mm
