INSTALLING THE PRINTER
Media Thickness Adjustment
The printhead carriage height must be set to accommodate the thickness of the media you will be feeding. This
printer incorporates a servo motor to control the height of the carriage.
1. Make sure the printer is off-line. If on-line, press the ONLINE key to take it off-line.
2. Press the MENU key, then use the +key to scroll to the menu item “Media Thickness Setup”. Press the
ENTER key to select this feature.
3. Turn the Media Thickness Dial [A] fully clockwise, as shown in
Figure 20
. This will cause the servo motor
to raise the printhead carriage to its highest position.
4. Place a piece of media [B], under the upper pressure rollers [C], as shown in
Figure 21
.
5. Slowly adjust the Media Thickness Dial [A] counter-clockwise until the upper pressure rollers [C] touch and
hold the Media [B] securely.
6. When properly adjusted the Media [B] will be securely captured between the upper pressure rollers [C] and
the lower transport belts. It should require a moderate amount of force to pull the Media [B] from under the
pressure rollers.
Tip: Make a note of the Media Thickness Dial position, as a reference for future adjustment when using
this particular media.
7. Press the MENU button to exit out of the “Media Thickness Setup” mode.
NOTE: The printer will automatically raise the printhead carriage to its highest position, when you exit the
“Media Thickness Setup” mode. When the printer is told to print or feed material, it will automatically
lower the carriage to your preset value.
