Set the Printhead Height

The height of the printheads above the media is key to optimal
print quality and printer operation. When printing with the
wide range of media thicknesses supported bythe printer, it is
important to set the head height appropriately. Raising the head
height too far will increase the amount of ink overspray. Lower-
ing the head height too far may result in less overspray, but will
increase the chance that the printheads will strike the media.
For best results, use the supplied gauge to set the head height
above the media loaded on the printer. The gauge sets the print-
heads 0.085 inches above the loaded media (0.070 inches
between the protective frame on the carriage and the media).
