Leveling Printer
It is critical that Printer is level front-to-back and left-to-right ( side-to-side ). Printer will send a
“Tilt”
warning if it is not properly leveled. First make sure that surface you are placing Printer on is flat and
level. Level Printer by adjusting casters using wrench (
included ).
NOTE: Steps 4 and 5 below are optional if Printer Driver is installed.
To Level Printer:
1. Open Top Cover.
2. Left to Right (Side-to-Side): Check Bubble Gauge
on front bridge of Print Engine. NOTE: If no
Bubble Gauge is mounted, place a small level ( 9" or
smaller ) across front bridge of Print Engine ( as
shown ) [A] . ( If level does not fit on front bridge, you
can place level on rear bridge frame on Print
Engine.
) Adjust casters as necessary to level Printer.
(See Step 6) NOTE: Level(s) must be placed on
Print Engine or Print Engine frame ( not on Printer
Cabinet ) to get an accurate reading.
3. Front to Back: Place level on either Print Engine
Side Frame [B] . Adjust Printer feet/casters as
necessary to level Printer. See Step 6 below.
NOTE: May have to repeat Steps 2 & 3 to
level Printer.
4. If you have already installed Printer Driver, you can
use
Printer Toolbox to check if Printer is level both
Left-to-Right and Front-to-Back. Go to Start Menu ,
then open
“Toolbox”
.
5. On User Interface screen, find
“Tilt”
in status
information in top left corner. Reading for Front-to-Back
(FB) and Left-to-Right (LR) should be
“0”
or very close to
zero. If Tilt readings are black or purple , Printer is ready to
operate. If readings are red , Printer must be leveled again.
NOTE: Printer will operate if readings are purple . This
indicates readings are near zero. If readings show more
than
±
2 degrees, ( even if Printer operates ) level Printer
again to prevent damage or printing issues!
6. Adjusting Casters. Use wrench ( included ) to loosen large
nut on top of caster [C] . Adjust caster to desired height, then
tighten nut so it snugs up against bottom of Printer to lock
caster in place.
