z Print Head Alignment

‡ Only BIAS Adjustment is required.
‹ Head adjuster determines the proper position.
(Vertical or Horizontal adjustment is not necessary because one print head
has eight nozzle lines.)

When doing BIAS adjustment, always adjust the position by tightening

the setscrew. If you adjust the position by loosening the setscrew, then
Damper cover
use your hand to push it back because the spring cannot push back fully

‡ Vertical banding issue occurs in bi-direction printing. Use it as draft
mode.
‹ It is easy to see on light colored area.
It is difficult to see on dark colored area.
Due to the printer capability based on the mechanical structure, it is not
completely removable.

It cuts the positive ink pressure by closing the inner valve. When the
ink is used, the valve is opened to supply ink to the print head, and
the valve closes with the ink pressure in itself. Filter

(The same as VS series)

2 tubes and 1 rubber sealing cap are fitted.

(Cap Top is provided as an assembly together with

the rubber cap and 2 tubes fitted.)

Never try to replace the cap top alone or tube alone.

If any ink exists at the connection, it works as lubricant and the tubes can be pulled out from
the cap top.

As well as VP series, flushing is performed on the cap sponge during printing.
Evacuation during printing takes place without stopping the head carriage.
