Description
Depending on the media, media may wrinkle or come loose from the platen during printing, increasing the
chance of contact with the print heads. When using such media, adjust the print head height to "HIGH."
Setting the print head height to “HIGH” may aect printing results, for example by producing coarser printing
results than when “LOW” is set. If this happens, refer to the pages indicated below.
