5.2 Printer Adjustment

This section explains detailed adjustment procedures for the printer mechanism such as parallelism adjustment and using the adjustment program to enter market and Head ID information (see page 124).

NOTE: The adjustment program for the Stylus Scan is not an exclusive service program; it is actually the production program used at the factory during assembly. However, for the purposes of the this manual, it will be called the adjustment program except when refering to the Smart menu icon.

The following section describes the physical adjustments that must be performed. See “Using the Service-Adjustment Program” on page 116 for details on adjustments performed using the adjustment program.
