5.4 How to adjust the printer to the material thickness
To ensure a sharp, clean print quality and a safe material transport, you have to adjust the
printer to the material thickness. Set the thickness adjustment knob to the following scale
values:
Scale value Material thickness
0 0.1 mm – 0.4 mm
(e.g. empty envelope or 80 g/m² stock)
1 0.4 mm – 0.8 mm
2 0.8 mm – 2.0 mm
3 2.0 mm – 3.5 mm
4 3.5 mm – 5.0 mm
5 5.0 mm – 6.0 mm
If you don’t know the thickness of your material, you should adjust the printer as described
below:
• Open the transparent safety cover.
• Lift the transport rollers and the movable exit rollers by turning the thickness
adjustment knob (see Figure 16) to the maximum thickness (scale value “5”).
• Put one medium underneath the transport rollers (see Figure 17).
• Lower the transport rollers and the movable exit rollers by turning the thickness
adjustment knob until the medium sits tightly between the rollers (you must still be
able to move the medium!).
• Pull out the medium and close the safety cover.
