Exterior Cleaning

Although cleaning the exterior surfaces does not affect the printer's performance, it will help
the overall appearance of the printer. The use of any mild, non-abrasive general purpose
cleaner with a lint-free cloth may be used to clean the exterior surfaces. This cleaning
should be performed on an as needed basis.

Gap Detector Adjustment

Refer to Figure 20. The gap detector assembly is centered in the media path at the factory
and should work for almost every type of media. For applications (for example - media that
has a Blowhole gap, which is offset) the gap detector can be adjusted as needed. To adjust
the gap detector, simply move the assembly to the desired location. Care should be taken
to assure that the top and bottom sensors are aligned with each other. If the sensors are
not aligned properly, the gap detector may not work properly.
