MANUAL GAP ADJUSTMENT

If Auto Gap is unsuccessful, you may perform a manual gap adjustment to ensure the first layer of the 

part prints properly. 

1. 

Select 

MANUAL GAP ADJUSTMENT

.

2. 

Place the gap gauge on top of the print pad under the left 

print jet. Select the 

checkmark

 to continue.

NOTE: Ensure the left cartridge is installed 

before performing this procedure.

NOTE: The Gap Gauge is a thin polyester strip 

approximately 8.5” (216 mm) long and 1.5” (38 

mm) wide.

3. 

Gently slide the gap gauge back and forth between the 

print pad and the left print jet. Using the arrows, raise or 

lower the print pad until you feel a slight resistance on 

the gauge. Select the checkmark when the you feel the 

proper resistance.

Caution: Exercise caution to prevent the 

print jet from pressing into the print pad. 

Once you feel a slight resistance in the 

Gap Gauge as it moves between the print 

pad and the left print jet, the gap is correct.
