"Loading Material Using the Center Vise"
Is the origin point of the machine displaced?
The center of the table scale may not coincide with the
machine's printing origin point. The origin point of the
machine must be the center of the scale on the table. You
can check the origin point location by printing calibration
data. To correct displacement between the scale center
and the printing origin point.
P. 95, "Adjustment of the Origin-point Location"
Striking is performed, but nothing is printed.
Is the material to be printed in line with the
parameters for printable material?
Prepare and use printable material.
P. 33, "Preparing Material to Print"
If you’re not using a head cap, does the head
position match the surface height of the mate-
rial in the case that you do not use the head
cap?
Check if the head position matches the surface height of
the material in the case that you do not use the head cap.
Printing cannot be performed if the head position does
not match the height position of the material. Adjust the
head position and then tighten the knob rmly.

"Loading Material Using the Center Vise"
Is the marking pin bent or broken?
When nothing is printed, and changing the location
where the material is loaded, the parameters for the ma-
terial, 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.100, "How to Replace the Head"
The printed image is unattractive.
Are the settings for the material in the driver's
setting window correct?
Choose the composition of the loaded material.
Even if the composition of the material is the same,
the hardness of the printed surface may vary greatly
depending on the casting method, the composition of
impurities, the presence of plating, and so on. In such
cases, perform ne adjustment of the striking force to
match the material.
P. 92, "Registering a Composition and Adjusting the Striking
Force"
Is the image printed clearly?
If the image is not printed clearly, adjust the brightness of
the image. Perform printing while increasing the bright-
ness of [Gamma] or [Brightness] in the driver's setting
window a little at a time. At this time, leave the material
loaded and perform overstriking at the same location.
Continue changing settings and performing printing
until you obtain the darkness you want.
P. 75, "Checking the Finished Results in the Preview Win-
dow"
Are grayscale tones printed clearly?
When grayscale tones are indistinct, go to the setting
window for the driver (“Advanced” at the [Image Correc-
tion] tab) and adjust the force of striking. Perform printing
while leaving the value for [Impact--MAX] unchanged
and increasing the value for [Impact--MIN] a little at a
time. At this time, leave the material loaded and perform
overstriking at the same location. Continue changing the
settings in the driver's setting window and performing
printing until you obtain the darkness you want.
P. 92, "Registering a Composition and Adjusting the Striking
Force"
More Information about Overstriking
The various setting values determined with overstriking
are eective only when performing overstriking under
identical conditions. The same results are not necessarily
obtained when printing is performed with a new piece of
material with only the conditions made the same, without
performing overstriking.
Is the marking pin worn?
Attractive printing may be impossible if the marking
pin becomes worn. Adjust the pin or change it to a new
one.
