each color’s delay.
The reference is of the distance in dots from each Print Head to the
nearest one. The first Print Head is therefore always referenced as zero.
For initial reference, the distance between each Print Head is about
4,000 dots. Other units of measure can be selected through the
Preference dialog box.
The new values that you have entered will be used for the present preset
material after closing the screen, by clicking OK.

The first hot dot is the zero point from the right. Each increase in shift
will move the printing to the left.

EAD
will start printing 1000 x
0.0635mm (=6.35cms) from its first dot. You should note that the
