Important:
Set the Fabric Thickness and Head Height correctly. If the settings are not configured correctly, printing
problems may occur, or the print head may come into contact with the fabric and the print head may
malfunction.
Fabric Thickness: If the fabric does not have a consistent height, such as for shaggy fabric, enter the average
value.
Head Height: We recommend setting 0.7 mm (0.03 inches). A height of 2 mm (0.08 inches) is automatically
ensured based on the thickness of the fabric.

Setting the Fabric Floating Sensor

The fabric floating sensor detects whether the fabric fixed on the belt is floating or flipping over. If it is detected,
the print head stops to prevent the print head from colliding with the fabric.
Set the detection position of the fabric floating sensor based on the height of the print head from the belt (Fabric
Thickness set value + 2 mm + Head Height set value) set in Fabric Management.
This section explains how to set the detection position.
