Head Height Alignment Procedure
Perform this procedure only when the encoder strip stabilizer has been
removed from the Y-Arm or whenever the alignment is in question.
The head height alignment procedure is to ensure that the correct
amount of distance exists between the cartridge jet plate and the Platen.
See Figure 3-14.
