The entrance guide [A] for this machine has two holes on each side to adjust for
paper thickness, and to prevent creasing. Normally, the right screw hole [B] on
each side is used for these purposes.
For thin paper, move the entrance guide to the right by securing it with screw holes
[B]. This slightly lengthens the paper path, preventing the paper from creasing in
the fusing unit.
For thick paper, move the entrance guide to the left (use screw holes [C]). This
setting allows more direct access to the gap between the hot and pressure rollers.
This prevents thick paper from buckling against the hot roller, which can cause
blurring at the leading edge of the print. This setting also aids in preventing thick
paper from bending easily, making it less likely to crease.
