Step 1

Check Correct Distance for Print Head Type

  1. Check that the print head is set to the correct distance away from the print surface. The print head distance can be set by following the Ink Jet Throw Distance procedure:

    PRINT HEAD TYPE

    INK JET THROW DISTANCE PROCEDURE
    i-Pulse, i-Pulse2 and i-Pulse RS Refer to Page 127 of Ax-Series Product Manual
    i-Pulse Duo Refer to Page 128 of Ax-Series Product Manual

Step 2

Run the Print Height Calibration Wizard

  1. If the ink jet is not already running, press the Start/Stop button on the printer cabinet and wait for the ink jet to sequence on.

  2. On the TouchScreen, select Home > Setup > Wizards > Print height calibration.

  3. Check that the print quality metrics listed on the TouchScreen have green ticks next to them.

    Note: If any of the items are marked with a red cross, wait a few minutes to see if the ink system stabilises and a green tick appears. If the red cross remains, an engineer certified by Domino can investigate the fault.

  4. Select the Next Screen icon.

  5. Select Testing raster and select a suitable raster to test.

  6. Select Test print and run the production line to make a test print.

  7. The printer will print the letter H. Measure the height of the printed letter H in millimetres.

  8. Enter the measured height of the printed letter H in the Measured print height (mm) setting.

  9. If the measured print height is different from the expected height, the printer will recommend a different charge scaling (%) value. Select Apply to apply the recommended value and double check the print height by repeating step (7) to step (10).

  10. Select Complete.
