Adjust the position of the printhead. (→ P.4-40)
Start the print job from the computer. (→ P.1-40)
After completing the special print job, return the
printhead height to its original setting and re-align the
printhead. (→ P.2-42)
Important
After changing the height of the printhead, always
adjust the print mode. If you do not perform the
adjustments, you cannot achieve the best print results.
When printing on paper-base media (ex: Coated
Paper, Plain Paper) or any type of media that wrinkles
easily, never print with the printhead lower than the
best height for each media. This could also damage
the printer.
