Adjusting the Guides
The adjustable guides direct the media toward the platen and print head.
1. Open the media guides by turning the guide adjuster knob to the rear.
2. Thread the media through the guides.
3. Close the media guides by turning the guide adjuster knob to the front. They should just touch, but not restrict, the edges of the media.
4. Unless you need to load ribbon, close the top cover. Remember that you need to release the cover lock, lower the top cover, and press down until the latches snap into place.
