Straightening the
Media Path
4-26
For optimal print quality, the media must feed in as straight a
line as possible from the supply to the takeup. This can be
accomplished by aligning the sides of the media as straight as
possible from supply to takeup, and by smoothing the media
web as much as possible before attaching it to the takeup. See
"Loading Roll-Fed Media" on page 3-14 instructions.
Printer assembly also affects the media path. If the printer is not
assembled to the stand precisely, according to the instructions in
Chapter 1, they could be misaligned. This could lead to the
media "steering" to the right and left as it is wound onto the
takeup spool.
Leveling and stabilizing the stand also helps to straighten the
media path:
◆ Locate the printer on a flat, level surface
◆ Ensure that all four leveling feet contact the floor and adjust
them as necessary to level the printer (or align the printer in
a single plane)
◆ Securely tighten the two silver screws that attach the printer
to the stand
For rigid cut-sheet media, the input and output tables must be
leveled with the printer platen. For details, see "Using the Media
Tables" on page 3-26.
