Changing holddown pressure using media feed lever

If you want to change the holddown pressure applied across the entire width of media,
use the media feed lever.
Depending on the position of the lever, you can choose the pressure between Normal
and High.
・ Normal : Recommended for typical roll media.
To apply normal pressure, push the lever from the front side of the printer
until it clicks.
・ High : Recommended for heavy weight media (such as Tarpaulin).
To apply high pressure, push it as far as it goes.
Every time after you change the holddown pressure by the media feed lever, you
must perform the media feed adjustment.

Canceling or reducing pressure rollers individually

When printing on thin media or media without stiffness, the media tends to cockle
causing head strikes.
By reducing pressure or disabling the pressure rollers individually, it helps to reduce the
chance of head strike.
Using the slide lock lever on the individual pressure roller, the holddown pressure can
be changed between Normal, Low and Cancel.
・ Normal : Recommended for typical roll media.
The factory default is set to Normal.
・ Low : It reduces the holddown pressure.
・ Cancel : It disables the pressure roller.
However, if the media feed lever is set to High, you can only choose between Normal
and Cancel
(even you set it to Low, the holddown pressure will not be reduced).
To cancel the individual pressure rollers, release the pressure rollers by pulling the
media feed lever towards you as much as possible.

・ Thin media or media without stiffness is likely to be wrinkled during printing.
Wrinkles can contact the bottom side of the print head causing the media to become
dirty.
When both edges of the pressurizing rollers of media are released, it can prevent
wrinkles.
・ When printing on thin media or media without stiffness, wrinkles can be prevented
by turning down the vacuum fan.
