and GENTLY detach the battery by paying attention to do not detach the battery slot! 46

Gently insert the new battery in this way:
The process is finished! 47

HOW TO MECHANICALLY ADJUST THE AUTO Z
The auto Z sensor can have two different problems: 1) if the diamond tip does not engrave the tag, even after the parameters modification the issue
persists, it could be because the Z axes touches too much early the auto Z sensor and, when this happens, the sensor of the tip is always activated, and its light is on. This should be fixed manually.
2) If the diamond tip engraves too deep the tag, even after the parameters modification the issue persists, it means that the sensor of the tip does not recognize the tag immediately and it goes deeper. This should be fixed manually.
FIRST CASE In this case the sensor is too close to the metallic part connected with it.
PROCEDURE Open the machine, remove the top and the aluminum rounded body. It is necessary to create some space between the black plastic part/the sensor and the metallic part (to
do that, you can use a flat screwdriver) At the end, put again the small screw and close the machine.
48

SECOND CASE In this case the sensor is too far to the metallic part connected with it.
Open the machine, remove the top and the aluminum body. Unscrew the small screw (in red):
Insert a small “spacer” to put between the black plastic part (the auto Z sensor) and the grey metal block. Here below an example of the spacer that can be used:
The dimensions are thickness 0,76 mm x length 1,4 cm x high 8 mm. You can make it with a plastic material or a paper one, like business card with these dimensions.
Remember to make a hole for the screw. After the spacer is inserted, screw the small screw back again and close the machine.
This process is now finished! 49

HOW TO BEND THE LEAF SPRING OF THE CARRIAGE
When the packaging is not stable inside the carriage, it could be that the leaf spring must be bent. To do this operation, the machine must be opened: unscrew the four screws placed on the top and
remove it together with the rounded part in order to have access to the carriage. It could be useful to also open the maintenance window, in the front part of the machine. Once the machine is opened, please scan this following QR code to watch the video tutorial:
