Tip
To lower or raise the printheads without the gauge,
use two hex wrenches to turn the head height adjust-
ment screws (at the top of the carriage) simulta-
neously and by the same amount. (Three-quarters of
a turn of the screws moves the carriage approxi-
mately 0.03 inches, or approximately the distance
between the min and max head height gauges.)
Then go to step 1 to set the camera height.
8. Use the supplied hex wrench to turn one of the head height
adjustment screws counterclockwise until the end of the
gauge will not fit under the carriage as shown in Fig. 5-6.
The head height adjustment screws can be accessed from the
top of the carriage. The access holes are labeled with a white
circular label.
