Basic printing procedures
6-4-2. Platen height adjustment
When constantly printing on thick material, the platen height can be lowered by up to 1.2 in. (30 mm) by adjusting the
platen bearing and collars.
<TIPS>
Please refer to the table below for the platen's height adjustment range (height A, measured from the platen height adjustment
lever; with the standard parts installed).
Spacers are installed on your printer so that the height can be the reference value. Do not change the number of spacers.
When using the 16X21 platen, it can be used only at the lowest position. Remove all the collars before mounting the platen. Also
note that the height adjustment range of the 16X21 platen is 0.4 in. (10 mm) at maximum.
When adjusting the height, put the latch of the platen height adjustment lever into the groove of the platen bearing.
