How do I level the head?

Yesterday I replaced the black dampers on my 1204 and when I was trying to get all the air from the lines I noticed that the caping station was not drawing ink. I removed it and cleaned all lines but when I was about to replace it I noticed that the head is a lot higher in the rear (red arrow) than the front (blue arrow) did I do this when replacing the two black dampers? I'm not sure about the proper way to make it level again. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

you somehow moved the head from it's correct position while replacing the damper... remove it all and start over, the head will "snap" into place when it is installed correctly...

Thanks, you were right on the money. I had loosened a couple screws just in front of the dampers then decided that was not the way to get to the dampers. When I retightened them I didn't realize that the back of that pc. had moved causing the pressure that changed the head. I pulled all the dampers, replaced the pc and now the head is where it belongs.

Coming from a sailing background, my first thought was, "head up into the wind..."

:ROFLMAO: I have to be more careful on how I post.
Should have been.
