To change the PG position, turn the cam each on the left and right side of the carriage shaft
simultaneously.
 Do not touch the surface of the adjustment gauge plate with bare hands.
 Before performing this adjustment, clean the adjustment gauge with a soft cloth
moistened with Shipping Cleaning Liquid “CR06” (parts number: 6104713(1kg),
6104714(18kg)).
 Before starting PG Adjustment, completely wipe drops of ink around the Print Head.
Remaining drops of ink will stick to the continuity measurement point of the adjustment
gauge, and cause continuity before the continuity measurement point makes contact with
the metal frame around the Print Head, interrupting accurate PG Adjustment.
 As the ink in the Print Head may stick fast and damage the Print Head during PG
Adjustment, make the continuity time detected with a tester as short as possible.
(Maximum three minutes.)
 Move the CR Unit by moving the timing belt.
 Place the printer on a level, warp-free table. PG Adjustment cannot be performed
normally on a warped table.
 Make sure that the Ink Supply Unit and the CR Support Plate are secured when
performing the PG Adjustment.
