Basics
7. Adjusting the Media Thickness Knob
The media thickness knob sets the distance between the
Print Heads and the material. Use it to compensate for
different material thicknesses and to increase clarity of the
printing.
1. Estimate the thickness of the material to be run.
NOTE: All material in a run must be the same thick-
ness. For 1/16" (1.5mm) thick material, start half way.
For 1/8" (3mm) thick material, start with setting all the
way at the Thick side (clockwise).

A Note about Print Quality
The printer is designed to feed and print on a range of
materials with various finishes and coatings. However the
sharpness of the print may vary with different materials, de-
pend ing on how ab sor bent the surface is, as well as other
qual i ties.
You will get best results using white wove bonded stock.
Printing is less sharp on Tyvek, recycled and glossy mate-
rial. It is also possible that ink may not dry thoroughly on
certain very glossy ma te ri als. Always test glossy materials
for their drying qualities before you buy them in quantity
and attempt to run a print job.
IMPORTANT!

counterclockwise may

2. While running test samples, close the gap (turn knob
counterclockwise) until the desired quality of printing is
obtained.
