• When the machine is not in use, raise the clamp lever to separate the pinch rollers from the grit
rollers. Leaving the pinch rollers in the lowered position for an extended period of time may
cause the pinch rollers to become deformed. Deformation of the pinch rollers may prevent the
media from being fed correctly.
• [JV/TS]
Attach the clamp changeover sliders to the pinch rollers at the left and right-hand ends of the
media. The pinch rollers can be raised by attaching clamp changeover sliders. This prevents
gripping the left and right-hand ends of the media for consistent feeding.
Media Sensor
The media sensor detects the presence/absence of media. The sensor must be covered by the media to
detect the media width.
