5-2 Maintenance of the Marking Pins
The machine's head has nine pins. Printing is performed using these pins one at a time. If the tip of the pin in use
becomes worn, you can change the pin used for printing. You can also perform adjustment to ensure that each pin uses
the same striking force.
You carry out all of these maintenance activities using the included [MPX-70 Head Manager] program.
Starting MPX-70 Head Manager
Click [Start], then click [All Programs] (or [Pro-
grams]).
Click [Roland Dr. METAZA2], then click [MPX-
70 Head Manager].
Switch on the power to the machine.
Checking the State of the Marking Pins
The state of each pin is shown.
If the indicator for the pin you're using is red, then replace it with a new pin.
If attractive printing is impossible or printed images are uneven even though the scale is not red, then change to a new
pin.
This indicates the amount of pin usage. The indicator display
increases a little at a time as striking is performed. The rate of
increase varies according to the material printed.
Pins for which nothing is displayed are unused.
A pin needs to be replaced when it is shown in red.
