BEFORE SETTING THE MEDIUM ON THE DEVICE
ADJUSTING THE HEAD HEIGHT WHEN THE MEDIUM USED IS CHANGED
[HEAD HEIGHT]
When the medium used is changed, it is necessary to adjust the head height according to the
thickness of the new medium.
If the height of the head is inappropriate to the thickness of the medium, the plotter cannot work
properly.
More important, operating the device without adjusting the head height is very dangerous: it can
damage the medium and the device.
When a new medium different in thickness from the current medium is to be used, be sure to make
proper adjustment of the head height.
• Adjust the head height before setting the medium on the device.
If an attempt is made to adjust the head height with the medium kept set on
the platen, the medium gets caught on the carriage during “carriage out”
operation, causing damage to the head.
