Adjusting the Platen Gap
If the print quality is not satisfactory when printing on very thin or very thick media, you may need to
adjust the Platen Gap setting to adjust the gap between the media and the print head. Use the widest
gap that maintains high quality printing. Selecting a narrower than required gap can lead to increased
print head maintenance and cleanings.
Note:
If you notice scuffs on the first few inches of your prints, this is caused by paper curl and print head
strikes. Make sure your paper is flat. You can also try changing the Platen Gap setting to
Wide
. If that
doesn’t solve the problem, try changing it to
Wider
.
