Platen (Print Bed) to Head Clearance Adjustment Screen
BLAZER EXPRESS:
The Platen to Head (Print Bed to Print Head) Clearance
Height Adjustment screen may appear as a User Interface
screen, but its functions have been disabled and only work
for the Blazer PRO model - see next section). On the T-Jet
Blazer Express, the platen to head clearance is manually
adjusted using the control knob located on the Print Bed.
Rotating the knob clockwise lowers the Platen giving •
more clearance.
Rotating the knob counter-clockwise raises the Platen •
giving less clearance.
To set the distance to a safe printing height, refer to the height sensor. The distance of the platen (with
the substate loaded) needs to be set to a minimum of 3mm to a maximum of 5mm in relation to the print
head. This distance will depend on what distance is used in perfoming your Print Head Alignment. Learn
more in Chapter 8 - Initialization Utilities.

The Platen to Head Clearance Adjustment screen is only
active on the Blazer PRO model and is used to set the proper
clearance between the Platen (print bed) and the Printer
Assembly (Print Head).
Pressing the UP button raises the Platen (Print Bed) giving
•
less clearance.
