Setting Method
1) Set paper.
2) Enter the Gap Adjustment Menu by the panel.
3) If the paper thickness is set on 0.2 mm or 1.2 mm by the panel, it is
recognized as being the same as "Standard." If you are setting other values,
input the paper thickness for the paper you are using in 0.1 mm units, in
accordance with the paper's specifications. The purpose for inputting the
paper thickness at the first is to enable the printing of a pattern right from
the first that is thought to be close to the correction value that is already
being maintained by the printer, and thus to reduce the number of times the
operation has to be repeated.
4) Select an adjustment pattern to print (either all or individually) and print it.
After printing, the adjustment value input menu for that pattern will be
displayed in the LCD.
5) Input the pattern No. for the printed pattern that has the smallest deviation
in each adjustment item displayed in the LCD.
6) Repeat steps 4) ~ 5) until adjustment of all the items has been completed.
Note 1) If you are carrying out gap adjustment printing, printing paper with the
following lengths is necessary.
n
When selecting and printing 1 pattern:Approx. 7 cm.
n
When selecting and printing all printing patterns (6 patterns): Approx.
40 cm.
Note 2) Always, in printing of each pattern, 1 block of 15 patterns is printed 6
times. Pattern No. 8 of the 15 patterns in one block shows the current
setting value.
Product Description

1.3.3 Maintenance Call

Some of the mechanical units used in this printer have counters which count
down the remaining service life based on the proper service life for each unit,
and when the predetermined value is reached, a "Maintenance Call nnnn"
message is displayed. If this message is displayed, it indicates that the end of
the service life of the affected unit is nearing, so it is necessary to replace the
affected unit as soon as possible.
If this message is displayed, the "Print?" or "Printing" display message is
replaced with the "Maintenance Call nnnn" message, and after replacing the
affected part, it is not cleared but continues to be displayed until the counter is
cleared in "Maintenance Mode 2."
In the Stylus Pro 9500, when the remaining capacity of the waste ink pad is
less than 1% only, the following maintenance call is displayed in the LCD.
Even if the maintenance call is displayed, it is treated as a warning and it is
possible to continue printing.
