Chapter 12—Adjustments

Narrow Media

The printer is factory-adjusted for full-size media width. When using media less than full width, it is recommended that you adjust the posi- tion of the pressure arm so it becomes centered with the media. Thereby, an even pressure across the media is obtained.

A poorly adjusted pressure arm may be detected by a weaker printout on either side of the media path.

To adjust the pressure arm, proceed as follows:

Loosen the straight-slot screw that holds the pressure arm. Move the arm inwards or outwards until the arrow on the tip of the arm becomes centered with the media.

While moving the arm, push at the part where the screw is situated, not at the tip. If the arm is hard to move, lift the printhead and pull the printhead bracket free from the magnet in the arm.

After having centered the arm, lock it by tightening the screw.
