Before installing the platen assembly into the
printer mechanism, move the printhead to the
right edge of the CR shaft, and set the release
lever to the tractor position. This pre-assembly
operation helps you mount the platen assembly
more easily.
After installing the platen assembly into the
printer mechanism, make sure both locks for left
and right bushings (8mm) are locked
completely.
Be careful handling the lever holders for the left
and right bushings (8mm). These are fragile.
