Adjusting the Carriage1to1Media Distance
It is very important that the distance between the carriage and the media is within certain limits. If the distance between the cartridge nozzles and the media is too small, ink smears on the media. If the distance is too big, unwanted spray appears around the ink dots, and vertical lines are not straight. (A big distance may also prevent the carriage from actuating the bail lever.)
Whenever you remove the Drive Roller or the Cartridge Carriage, take care to reinstall them correctly. Incorrect installation may result in the carriage being too close or too far from the media. For the correct installation procedure ' Chapter 6.
To check the carriagetomedia distance
A Gauge (included with the carriage assembly) has been produced to check the carriage1to1media distance to make sure it is within the tolerances allowed. Use this gauge to check the carriage1to1media distance as follows:
1Open the top cover.
2Move the carriage out of the service station.
3Remove the Yellow cartridge from the carriage.
4Check the gauge to determine the GO and NO GO sides:
