Hold the spacer as you lower the media loading lever.

The media confirmation and setting changes appear on the product control panel screen.

Change the media settings as necessary.

Adjust the media feed.

Try printing with the spacer and your new settings, watching the results through the window in the
product's front cover.

• If vertical creases no longer appear in your printed media, you can leave the spacer installed in its

current position.

• If vertical creases still appear, stop printing, raise the media loading lever, and remove the spacer.

Adjust the spacer position and repeat these steps to reinstall the spacer, adjust your media and
feed settings, and try printing again as necessary.
