40 Canceling or reducing pressure rollers individually
When printing on thin media or media without stiffness, the media tends to cockle causing head strikes.
By reducing pressure or disabling the pressure rollers individually, it helps to reduce the chance of head strike.
Using the slide lock lever on the individual pressure roller, the holddown pressure can be changed between Normal, Low and
Cancel.
• Normal: Recommended for typical roll media. The factory default is set to Normal.
• Low: It reduces the holddown pressure.
• Cancel: It disables the pressure roller.
However, if the media feed lever is set to High, you can only choose between Normal and Cancel (even you set it to Low, the
holddown pressure will not be reduced).
To cancel the individual pressure rollers, release the pressure rollers by pulling the media feed lever towards you as much as
possible.

Important!
Every time after you change the holddown pressure by individual slide lock lever, you must perform the media feed
adjustment.
Note
• Thin media or media without stiffness is likely to be wrinkled during printing. Wrinkles can contact the bottom side of the print head
causing the media to become dirty. When both edges of the pressurizing rollers of media are released, it can prevent wrinkles.
• When printing on thin media or media without stiffness, wrinkles can be prevented by turning down the vacuum fan.
