Print Head Positions
The latest versions of the imager have two print head positions:
•
Shipping position, in which the print head is closer to the back of the imager. This should be
used prior to shipping the imager to prevent damage to the print head or platen bearings. It
should also be used when cleaning the print head or platen, as the position provides more room
between these components to make cleaning easier.
•
Printing position, in which the print head is positioned closer to the platen, ready for printing.
Changing the Print Head Position
To change the print head position:
1. If imager power is on, select the Open Top Cover menu option to ensure that the print head is
retracted and move on to the next step. If imager power is off, move on to the next step.
2. Open the top cover by pressing one of two green releases as shown under "Opening the Top Cover".
3. Pull up on the two release handles, shown in the following figure, and use the handles to push the
print head back to the shipping position or forward to the printing position.
