Move the solenoid attachment plate while measuring a clearance between the print head and the
platen with a scale so as not to touch the print head with it. Secure the solenoid ass’y where the
clearance between the print head and the platen is 0.5 to 1.0 mm and distances A and B are equal.
Moving the solenoid ass’y in the direction of black arrow causes the print head position higher. Moving
the solenoid ass’y in the direction of white arrow causes the print head position lower.
