(Forms Access)
Requirement
The printed character in a line of copy should not become illegible due to ink being deposited on the
paper when printer is running idle for one minute.
To Adjust
Step (A)
Step (B)
With printer power off, loosen tear bar mounting screws (2) and tear bar assembly securing
screws (2). Reduce the gap between tear bar and top cover by turning adjusting screws
counterclockwise in increments of 1/6 turn (one flat of hex), but not more than three,
while applying finger pressure on tear bar to reduce gap. Tighten the tear bar assembly
securing screws (2) after each increment and recheck requirement. When requirement
is met, tighten tear bar mounting screws (2).
Reposition the top cover to provide applicable top cover to tear bar gap, dependent on
thickness of forms stock used. See TOP COVER (Prehmmary) requirement. Tighten the
top cover mounting screws (4) and recheck gap.
Note: When refinement of these adjustments is required, some increase in audible noise and a lessening
of print density may occur.
