adjusting rod comes on the media.
• If the carriage hits the spacer or the Media press, go to
the step 9 and raise the head.
• Unless the head is properly set at the height against the thickness of the media you use, deterioration
of the printing quality or the breakage of the head could be caused. Perform the head height
adjustment each time when you change the media.
• When the height of the head is set at 2.0mm (minimum value) from the surface of the platen, pay
attention to the following points:
(1) Use the media with surface without wrinkles and convex-concave shapes. The media and
the head may graze with each other, or the media may be caught and pressed by the head
causing a jam of being clogged at some point.
• After adjusting the head height, make sure to perform the correction of the dot position. ( P.2-32)
• If the printing area has been set, the printing area is reset.
Set the printing area again.
