Getting Started
REMOVAL OF THE
"FIXING"
SCREWS
When your new printer arrives, there are two screws that "fix" the
internal chassis to the external frame. This is similar to "fixing"
screws on many phonographic turntables. You need to remove
these screws to allow the chassis to "float" on its internal shock
absorbers made of rubber-like soft plastic.
To remove the fixing screws, you first need to get to them.
Turn your printer over and set it on a pillow or fabric-covered
surface. (This is to keep from "skinning" the top of your printer
while you make this quick adjustment.)
As shown in Figure G-4, remove the two packing screws.
Figure G-4 illustrates the bottom of the Gemini-15X, which has a
slot for feeding sprocket paper through the printer's underneath
(called "bottom pass"). If you have a Gemini-10X the underside of
your printer will not loukexactly like the Gemini-15X but there are
only two screws that can be removed, so you can't go wrong.
Note: You should save the screws, too. It's a good idea to tape the
saved screws together, perhaps with a 110te indicating what they
are for. In the excitement of getting your new Gemini up and
running, it's easy to lose the fixing screws. Plus, you will want to
re-position these screws if you ever ship your printer.

remove the two "fixing" screws with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
