3.1 Mechanical Adjustment
Item Purpose Overview Ref.
Carriage Adjustment • If inserting thickness
gauge confirms the
carriage is tilted
• If a media jam occurs
• Check for the carriage vertical-tilt
(slant) and sideways slant. If a slant
is detected, adjust so that the gap
between the head guard plate and
platen falls within the specified
range.
Specified value: 2.75 ±0.05 mm
P. 106
Station Height
Adjustment
• If the station height is
confirmed to be incorrect
• Check to confirm that the station
height is within the specified value.
If it is not within the specified value,
rotate the height adjustment screw
to adjust the gap between the head
base (carriage underside) and the
cap cover to the specified value.
Specified value: 4.0 mm
P. 110
Cutter Unit Position
Adjustment
• If the cutter blade is not
aligned with the platen
cutter groove
• Push down on the cutter blade at
the left edge, center, and right edge
of the platen to check. If the cutter
does not align with the cutter
groove, adjust the position of the
cutter blade so that it aligns with the
platen cutter groove.
P. 112
Jam Sensor Unit Height
Adjustment
• If a media jam has
occurred but no error
message is displayed
• Check to confirm that the jam
sensor unit height is within the
specified value. If it is not within the
specified value, adjust so that the
gap between the jam sensor unit
detecting plate and platen falls
within the specified range.
Specified value: 2.65 ±0.05 mm
P. 114
Wiper Height
Adjustment
• If cleaning fails repeatedly • Check to confirm that the wiper
height is within the specified value.
If it is not within the specified value,
move the wiper backward or
forward by hand and rotate the
adjuster screw to adjust the overlap
between the wiper and the nozzle
surface to the specified value.
Head height LOW specified value:
2.5 mm
P. 116
Encoder Sensor Height
Adjustment
• If the "150LPI Encoder
PCB"(P. 39) was replaced
• If an encoder error occurs
• If an error occurs in
"Check Encoder"(P. 157)
• If a print is offset in the Y
direction
• Check the encoder sensor height. P. 119
Centering Adjustment
of the Feeding and
Take-up Units
• If the machine was moved • Check to confirm that the left and
right spindle centers of the feeding
unit and take-up unit are aligned. If
