Step2. When the paper stops, rotate the paper feed driven(high
precision) gear clockwise manually, adding hand power to 2
dimples of the gear surface.
WARNING
It is prohibited to touch the paper feed driven gear
directly. If the paper feed driven gear is touched
directly by hand, it is found out that even the
grease from hands gives bad influence on the
paper feed pitch. So, rotate the gear manually,
holding the 2 dimples on the gear surface.

WARNING
After involving A3 exclusive glossy paper into the
paper eject unit, feed the paper more than 1 cm
additionally, by rotating the paper feed driven
gear. Otherwise, paper does not become stable
and PG value might be measured wrong when
placing the thickness gage.
CAUTION
Although the platen gap mechanism is controlled
automatically, it is not necessary to make PG
small before performing the parallelism
adjustment, since PG becomes small in the
waiting condition, even if PG is set big
intentionally from the driver or by the special
setting from the control panel.

Feed the paper
more than 1cm.
