ADJUSTING THE PRINTHEAD GAP
Warning!
Make sure no article of clothing (necktie, jewelry) is
hanging into the operator access during this
procedure.
1. Open the operator access door.
2. Make sure the printhead gap adjustment lever is positioned as far as
possible toward the front of the printer so that the gap between the
printheads and platen is as wide as possible.
3. Turn on the printer.
4. Begin a printout by:
•
Sending a file (about three pages of characters) to the printer
•
Running a self test (See "Running a Self Test," Page 29.)
5. See the Note below and then move the printhead gap adjustment lever
toward the platen.
The printout appears.
Note
: The printhead gap must be set at normal print speed.
As a safety feature, when using “fast pitch” (10 pitch printing), the
printer prints at half speed if the operator access door is open. To
temporarily cancel half-speed printing during printhead gap
adjustment, press and hold
TOF
while the printer prints.
