Does the instrument to be imprinted meet the requirements for instruments that can be imprinted?

Prepare and use an instrument that can be imprinted.

 P. 28, "STEP 3: Preparing Instrument to be Imprinted"

If you’re not using a head cap, does the head position match the surface height of the

instrument to be imprinted?

Check if the head position matches the surface height of the instrument in the case that you do not use the

head cap. Printing cannot be performed if the head position does not match the surface height of the instru-

ment. Adjust the head position and then tighten the knob rmly.

 P. 35, "STEP 1: Loading the Instrument to be Imprinted"

Is the marking pin bent or broken?

When nothing is printed, and changing the location where the material is loaded, the parameters for the mate-

rial, or the height of the head unit does not correct the problem, then the marking pin may be bent or broken.

Try changing to an unused marking pin and carry out test printing. If you can print with the new marking pin,

it means the marking pin you had been using is bent or broken. Continue using the new marking pin.

 P. 52, "Head Replacement"

You cannot select the material of the object to be imprinted using METAZAStudio.

Is the [Use printer driver settings] checkbox checked?

material. Uncheck the [Use printer driver settings] checkbox.

Do you use a le created by an old version of METAZAStudio?
