It is a major premise that parallelism adjustment is done correctly for the space between head and paper
(PG value above) which can be changed by adjusting the paper gap.
Parallelism adjustment should be done when the serviceman mounts the carriage guide shaft on the
printer mechanism during repair service. In the adjustment, the space should be adjusted to 1.04 mm,
using a thickness gauge.
