Adjusting The Head Height - MIMAKI JV3-75 SP II Operation Manual

Adjusting the head height

The head can be adjusted in height in two different stages, upper and lower, according to thickness
of a media used for plotting.
This adjusting function enables the device to respond to light-weight media such as paper and film
and heavy-weight media such as tarpaulin as thick as 1.0 mm.
• Adjust the head height before placing a media on the device. If the head
height has been set for light-weight media when a heavy-weight media is to
be placed on the device, moving the carriage from the capping station for
adjusting the head height after the media is placed on the device can cause
paper jamming or head breakage.
• When in bidirection mode, adjust the head height before executing print
adjust in the maintenance function.
• Set the lever to the lower stage (Thick) if dust is likely to gather in the head
or the head is likely to rub the media to leave ink on it.
