The printer is factory-adjusted for full size paper width. When
using paper less than full width, it is recommended to adjust the
printhead lift arm so it becomes centred on the paper. Thereby, an
even pressure across the paper is obtained.
A poorly adjusted lift arm may be detected by a weaker printout
on the inner part of a less than full width paper. Similarly, when
reverting to a wider paper, the arm should be adjusted, or the printout
on the outer part of the paper could be weak.
To adjust the printhead lift arm, proceed as follows:
• Remove the ribbon, if any.
• Loosen the knob that holds the lift arm. Move the arm inwards
or outwards until the arrow on the tip of the arm becomes
centre-aligned with the paper web.
While moving the arm, push at the part where the knob is
situated, not at the tip. If the arm is hard to move, lift the
printhead and pull the printhead bracket free from the magnet
in the lift arm.
• After having centred the arm, lock it by tightening the knob.
• Reload the ribbon, if any.
