foil magazine (if applicable), unscrew the clamping handle until the location square on
top of the printhead is clear of the top rails, turn it to the required position, tighten the
clamping handle and replace the magazine.

•
Should the print not fully adhere to the substrate a higher setting may be used.

Thermoplastic films and especially polyethylene generally require a lower
temperature.
