Motion adjustment

To understand Motion Adjustment,
think of each reversal in carriage direc-
tion as a "pass". With every pass, each
head draws a line / -in long. If the
1 2
FlexJet has 2 heads, it draws a 1-in line
for each pass. A four-head machine will
draw a 2-in line.
If the Motion Factor is too low, the
FlexJet will draw the line too late. Visu-
ally, this appears as if the line drifts to
the right, as shown in Figure 32. Mo-
tion Factor set too high results in drift
to the left.
