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.

NOTE: The print pad must be clean and free from glue and print material . 

NOTE: Ensure the print jet nozzles are clean and free from print material . This can usually be accomplished by 

pulling out the print material with your fingers.

Caution: Ensure the print jet nozzles are at room temperature before attempting to clean them .

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 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 .
