Adjusting the Platen Gap for Heavy Stock
When you print on thick media, you may need to adjust the platen gap
setting. Normally, the
AUTO setting allows the printer to adjust
automatically. However, if print quality is not satisfactory when you use
heavy stock, change this setting to
WIDE . Follow these steps:
1. Press the SelecType button. PRINTER SETTING MENU appears on
the display.
2. Press the Item button. PLATEN GAP=AUTO appears on the display.
3. Press the + button. PLATEN GAP=WIDE appears on the display.
4. Press the Enter button to save the new setting.
5. Press the SelecType button to exit the Printer Setting menu.
The letter W appears on the right side of the control panel display to remind
you of the wide setting. When you switch paper, don’t forget to change this
setting back to
AUTO .
Turning Off Paper Monitoring Features
The printer normally stops and displays an error message if you try to print
an image wider than the paper, or if paper is fed at an angle. You can turn off
the paper size check and/or paper alignment check if you don’t want to use
these monitoring features. However, ink may be sprayed on the platen if you
print an image that is too wide for the paper. Follow these steps to turn off
paper monitoring:
1. Press the SelecType button. PRINTER SETTING MENU appears on
the display.
2. Press the Item button repeatedly until PAPER SIZE CHK=ON or
PAPER ALIGN CHK=ON appears on the display.
3. Press the + button. PAPER SIZE CHK=OFF or PAPER ALIGN
CHK=OFF appears on the display.
4. Press the Enter button to save your new setting.
5. Press the SelecType button to exit the Printer Setting menu.
