1.Power the printer on and make sure the scanning beam is on. If the beam is off, press the RESET button for less than 2 seconds to turn on the scanning beam.

2.Use the Allen key provided to adjust the screws.

NOTE: You may have to loosen all three screws and allow the rubber spacers to expand (relax) before making any adjustments.
