Black - Color Head Vertical Adjustment
This adjustment sets the vertical position for the black and color heads. (Aligning the top nozzle for
both, the # 4 nozzle on the black head and the # 1 nozzle on the color head, and aligning the bottom
nozzle for both, the # 61 nozzle on the black head and the # 20 nozzle of the color head.) Make this
adjustment using this adjustment program and set the Adjustment mode to Pattern 7 on the control
panel. (See page 1-22.) This adjustment is required when the black head or the color head is
replaced or disassembled. The following figure illustrates this adjustment.
CAUTION
When you replace the black head, always adjust its angle first, because the black - color
head vertical adjustment is based on the black head angle.
