7. Adjusting the Media Thickness Knob
The media thickness knob sets the distance between the
printhead and the material. Use it to compensate for different
material thicknesses and to increase clarity of the printing.
A. Estimate the thickness of the material to be run.
NOTE: All material in a run must be the same thickness.
For envelopes with 0 - 2 inserts, start with the media
thickness knob set as shown below. For 1/4" (6mm) thick
material, start with setting all the way at the Thick side. For
1/8" (3mm), start 1/2 way.
B. While running
test samples,
turn the knob
counter-
clockwise to
close the gap
until the desired
quality of printing
is obtained.
NOTE: Adjusting the media thickness knob too far counter
clockwise may cause smearing or jamming.
A NOTE ABOUT PRINT QUALITY: This printer is designed to
feed and print on a range of materials with various finishes and
coatings. However, the sharpness of the print may vary with
different materials, depending on how absorbent the surface is,
as well as other qualities.
You'll get best results using white wove bonded stock. Printing
is less sharp on Tyvek, recycled and glossy material. It is also
possible that ink may not dry thoroughly on certain very glossy
materials. Always test high gloss materials for their drying
qualities before you buy them in quantity and attempt to run a
print job.
