5.1 Head Gap
Set the head gap lever to the single sheet posi-
tion.
Set the paper feed selector to the "T" position.
Ensure the printhead is firmly secured with 2
screws.
Move the carriage to the print start position on
the platen, and adjust the head gap between the
platen and the printhead for a clearance of
0.4mm — 0.45mm by turning the left eccentric
cam.
Moving the head gap lever towards the @ posi-
tion increases the head gap clearance, and
moving toward the @ position decreases the
clearance.
Move the carriage to the print end position on
the platen, and adjust the gap as per step 4 above:
by turning the right eccentric cam.
Note: The projection on the eccentric cam _ is
released from the adjustment hole by pulling
the knob. Turning the eccentric cam one step
causes 0.035mm head movement. The ec-
centric cam can also be released from the ad-
justment hole throughan opening onthe inside
ofthe chassis. Use a pin point objectto release
the eccentric cam without removing the upper
cabinet.
Note: Use only a round wire feeler gauge of the
specified dimension for this adjustment.
Note: The head gap adjustment is required when

replacing the head, platen, carriage, carriage
shaft and eccentric cams.
