Adjusting the Height of the Platen
If the print surface is too far from the print head, print quality declines and ink may mist on the inside of
the printer. To prevent this, adjust the platen to its optimum height.
The optimum platen height is one position from the first Ready message on the LCD screen or two
positions from the last Platen Height Error message. For example, if the printer displays a Platen
Height Error message at position number 1, select position number 3 as the optimum platen height. If
the printer displays a Ready message at position number 2, select position number 3 as the optimum
platen height.
