media.

Tabs should be placed within +/- 1/8”

Pitch = Distance from the top of one tab
to the top of the next tab (including space
between tabs), plus 0.01”.

2. Check to be sure Pressure Roller Release

Latch, for tab drive, is engaged (lowered).

3. Check the media thickness adjustment.

Too little can cause the media to slip,
when it is being fed.
