Note
* :
z Clean the feed path (including rollers) and fuser unit when changing the width of the roll paper.
Streaks may appear when printing, particularly after changing the paper width from narrow to wide, because of the traces (paper
dust etc.) left along the width of the paper.
When you change the width of the roll paper, check the conditions of the fuser unit and feed path and clean them, and then
restart printing.
z Wear gloves to clean if you are using cleaning fluid.
z Refer to the "Setup Guide" regarding the names and functions of parts.
