3-3 The Replacement of the Consumable Parts

The Replacement Cycle for the Head Cap

When the head cap becomes worn away as shown in the gure below, it is time for replacement. Replace the

head cap with a new one appropriately.

The degree of wear may vary according to printing conditions. In particular, printing that makes extensive use

of island ll and other line-drawing operations on materials such as aluminum results in especially rapid wear

because of the extensive unevenness on the surface of the instrument to be imprinted. Periodically check the

state of the head cap to ensure that it is replaced as often as needed.

* "Island ll" is a method of printing characters and objects (without lling objects) using lines placed at in-

tervals. For details, refer to the help for METAZAStudio ("Commands"-"[Format] menu"-"Font"-"[Properties]

dialog box").
