Abstract
Provided is a device for adjusting the height of a print bar of an inkjet printing device. The printing device has a cleaning sled for cleaning the one or more print heads of the print bar. A controller including a processor is configured to determine, using a sensor unit, clearance information with regard to the clearance between the cleaning sled and the print bar at different measurement points, and to adjust the height of the print bar depending on the determined clearance information. A precise adjustment of the print bar can thus be effected for a qualitatively high-grade and gentle cleaning.
