Chapter 11 — 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 pres-
sure arm so it becomes centered on 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:

• Remove the ribbon, if any.

• Loosen the knob 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 stock.

While moving the arm, push at the part where the knob 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 knob.

• Adjust the edge guides.

• Reload the ribbon, if any.
