Narrow Media Adjustment

The printer is factory-adjusted for full-size media width. When using
media less than full width, it is recommended that you adjust the posi-
tion of the pressure arm so it becomes centered with the media. Thereby,
an even pressure across the media is obtained.
A poorly adjusted pressure arm may be detected by a weaker printout on
either side of the media path.
To adjust the pressure arm, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the knurled nut that holds the pressure arm. Move the arm
inwards or outwards until the arrow on the tip of the arm becomes
centered with the media.
While moving the arm, push at the part where the screw 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 centered the arm, lock it by tightening the nut.
• Remember to adjust all edge guides too.
