  16. Head strike on Mimaki JFX200

    So I made a huge mistake. I went to print a template onto the table and set the head height so it would be 2.1mm away from the table. I forgot to take out the media locating screws and needless to say the screw took out a head. My question is? Shouldn't the safety bar have prevented this? I...
