Adjusting the Platen Gap
Adjust the platen gap when you have performed any one of the followings.
Use the following steps to adjust the platen gap.
1. Connect the power supply unit to the printer. Turn on the power switch to the printer. Turn
off the power switch to the printer when the printer finishes the power on test. Remove the
power supply unit from the printer. (These steps will close the platen.)
Note:
When you are adjusting the platen gap, you must close the platen. There are instances where the
platen is open on this printer after assembly because of positioning with the gears and cams.
Therefore, you must always use these steps to close the platen.
2. Remove the ribbon cassette cover. (See page 2-37.)
3. Remove the carriage cover frame assembly. (See page 1-15.)
4. Prepare 0.45 mm and 0.50 mm thickness gauges. Insert the thickness gauges from the side of
the print head unit, as shown in the figure below.
