11.2.4. Feed Speed: 
 

This is the forward speed of the conveyor belt between the print passes. 
A Feed Speed of “500” is considered the default.   

No changes have to be made, unless you print at a high speed/low pass,  
and the conveyor belt is STILL feeding forward when the carriage already  

started to print the next pass.  

 
 

11.2.5. UV Options: 
 

 

See chapter “6.2. Curing setup and sequences”, for detailed info. 

 

 

11.2.6. Head Gap Control: 
 

 

See chapter “10.1. Automatic “Head Base Height” Setup”, for detailed info.

 

 

 

11.2.7. Factory Set: 

 
This button is password protected. 
It can only be used by an Agfa trained technician. 

 
 

11.2.8. Head Offset: 
 
These are the Head alignment settings for each head, in reference to  

the Black head. This alignment is done in advance by an engineer,  
do NOT change these values!
