Extruder able to extrude but unable to print

Hi all. I am having a issue with my extruder. It is able to extrude when doing manual control but is printing on air when i run the job. What could be the probability? I'm using the MK8 extruder print head.

What do you mean by printing on air?

It sounds like your printbed is set just a smig too low. Try lowering your z axis endstop, or raising your printbed.. Some pictures of the problem would help greatly.

Thanks Mike.

You need to calibrate your z axis properly. Check the reprap wiki.
