The Printable Area
The machine's printable area is as follows.
Head Caps
Using the head cap is usually recommended.
When the head cap is used, the machine automatically tracks the surface height of material and sets the posi-
tion of the head. Therefore you do not need to set the head position for printing. You can make a print even
on a cylindrical material. (There is an upper limit of the height that can be tracked.) It is recommended to use
the head cap for usual printing.

Remove dirt and dust from the printing surface.
If you carry out printing without removing dirt and dust attached to the printing surface, it may deteriorate the
printing quality. Make sure to remove dirt and dust from the printing surface before you perform printing.
For test printing, it is advisable to use materials with no scratches or stains.
Some materials may cause scratches and stains on the head cap during printing, which may affect the print-
ing quality. Scratches and stains on the materials may also damage the head cap and result in poor-quality
printing. Therefore, for your prior checks on printing, we recommend you perform test printing with materials
without any scratches or stains.
