(2) Drag and drop the "platen_gapadj.prn" onto the Brother Maintenance USB Printer driver
icon in the Filedrgs window.
The machine displays the "RECEIVING DATA" on the LCD and prints out "KEISEN &
GAP & EXIT ADJUST PATTERN (see the next page for a sample printout).
Tip: The check pattern can also be printed with Function code 61 (refer to
5.1.4.18). After printing with a memory card, be sure to remove the card before proceeding
to the following step.
(3) In each of the PLATEN GAP ADJUST rows 1 through 3, select the block that is the least
uneven print.
(4) Calculate with the block numbers selected in step (3).
Row 2 x 2 - Row 1 - Row 3
(Example) If the least uneven print block is +2, +4, and 0 in Rows 1, 2, and 3, respectively,
then (+4) x 2 - (+2) - (0) = +6
(5) If the calculation result is within -2 to +2, no adjustment is required.
If it is 3 or greater, tilt the platen height adjuster to the left until it stops; if it is -3 or below,
tilt it to the right until it stops.
