 Outline
When turning the power OFF, check that the unit is not receiving data, and there is no remaining un-output data.
Furthermore, check that the head is in the capping station.

head to the capping station to prevent the head from drying out.
If the power is turned OFF during plotting, the head might not be parked in the capping station.
Leaving the head for a long time without capping may cause nozzle blockages. 1
 Do not turn OFF the main power switch on the side, as this will stop the function for preventing nozzle

A difference of the dot shape or the ink volume on each head may cause a banding.
Perform the head volt adjustment in order to relax the difference of speed, density or dot shape between heads.

 Make sure to revise the head volt adjustment every time on the setting of ink, the changing the ink type
and replacing the head. Since the dot position will be moved after the adjustment, perform the dot

position correction, too.
 Before executing the head voltage adjustment, make sure to check if the carriage does not lean in
front/back or right/left.
If executing the adjustment while the carriage leans in front/back or right/left, the adjustment becomes
inaccurate.
 Measure the gap between the head and the media in advance.

Check the pattern, paying attention to the following points.
Pattern (in case of 4-colors)
1) Ripple
• Until the ripples visually disappear. Lower it in units of 0.5
V.
4
 If the ripples visually disappear, it is OK if some
Head line1 satellites occur.

5
 Stop by “Value adjusted in [Speed] – 1.0 V”.
(E.g.) If the value adjusted in [Speed] is 3.0 V, you
can decrease to 2.0 V.

2) Color variation between heads


• If the color is obviously dark (dot diameter is large), lower it
in units of 0.5 V.
6
1) Ripple You do not need to lower heads that look darker
because of the satellite.
Lower in units of 0.5V

Ripple • Adjust for dots that have larger diameters than others. 7
 The color does not have to be matched completely.
Roughly the same shade is OK.
 Stop by “Value adjusted in [Speed] – 1.0 V”.
2) Color (E.g.) If the value adjusted in [Speed] is 3.0 V, you
variation can decrease to 2.0 V.
Dark = Lower the voltage

adjust the head to the position that is most aligned.
 Make sure to adjust the head so that the alignment
meets criteria for both directions. If the alignment
does not meet criteria, check the slant angle of the
carriage.
 Check the patterns at several points such as right,
left and center.
