The printer is factory-adjusted for full media width. When using media
less than full width, it is recommended to adjust the pressure arm so it
becomes centered in relation to the media. Thereby, an even pressure across
the media is obtained.
A poorly adjusted pressure arm may be detected by a weaker printout on
the inner part of a less than full width media. Similarly, when reverting to a
wider media, the arm should be adjusted, or the printout on the outer part
of the media could be weak.
To adjust the pressure arm, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the straight-slot screw that holds the pressure arm. Move the
arm inwards or outwards until the arrow on the tip of the arm becomes
centered in relation to the media.
Note: While moving the arm, push at the part where the screw is situated,
not at the tip. If the arm is hard to move, raise the printhead and pull the
printhead bracket free from the magnet in the pressure arm.
• After having centered the arm, lock it by tightening the screw.
• Adjust all edge guides.
