HP 98SI, 72SI manual Push the media up against the media alignment tool, Media alignment tool

10.Push the media up against the media alignment tool.

Make sure that the media is centered under the pinch rollers. Avoid positioning either the left or right edge of the media under a pinch roller. The printer will automatically locate the left and right edges.

Note	If the media is not square (opposite edges parallel
	with 90 degree corners), you can align it with the
	fence on the input (rear) table. First, ensure that the
	fence is exactly perpendicular with (at 90 degrees to)
	the platen with a large framing (carpenter’s) square
	and the media alignment tool.

11.Set the pinch rollers as specified in the Media Wizard.

12.Remove the media alignment tool from the platen.

13.Press the ! key to continue.

The control panel asks whether you want to adjust the head height. If the thickness of the media you are loading is sig- nificantly different from the previously loaded media, then adjust the head height for optimal print quality and to pre- vent the carriage from striking the media.

◆If you press Yes, the control panel enters the head height, service station height, and bidi calibration proce- dures. (See Chapters 4 and 5 for instructions.)

◆If you press No, the media load procedure continues.

The printhead carriage moves out of the service station and uses the onboard digital imaging sensor (“camera”) to locate the right, front, and left edges of the media, and to deter- mine whether the sheet was loaded squarely into the printer.

14.If the media is skewed, the control panel asks whether you want to adjust it.

◆If you press Yes, you can release the pinch rollers, adjust the media, lower the pinch rollers, and press the Pro- ceed key to continue.

◆If you press No, the media load procedure continues.

The control panel briefly displays the measured width of the media.
