The printer is factory-adjusted for full size paper width. When using
paper less than full width, it is recommended to adjust the pressure
arm so it becomes centred on the paper. Thereby, an even pressure
across the paper is obtained.
A poorly adjusted pressure arm may be detected by a weaker printout
on the inner part of a less than full width paper. Similarly, when
reverting to a wider paper, the arm should be adjusted, or the printout
on the outer part of the paper could be weak.
To adjust the pressure arm, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the nut that holds the pressure arm. Move the arm inwards
or outwards until the arrow on the tip of the arm becomes
centre-aligned with the paper web.
While moving the arm, push at the part where the nut 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 centred the arm, lock it by tightening the nut.
