Tab. 5: Adjustment values for HMD
The real distance from the print head nozzle surface to the transport rollers on the Print
Bridge is 1.15mm ± 0.03mm. This value includes the HMD, which is measured to the
protection plates next to the print heads, including the distance from the protection
plates to the nozzle surface of the print heads and the actual material thickness from
the reference material (Inkjet Matt > 200µm). The real distance changes with the
inserted distance plates (red, yellow, or black)!
0.75mm (HMD) + 0.40mm (nozzle surface to protection plates) = 1.15mm (including
0.2mm material thickness)
4. Mount the Print Bridge plates.
