Making Adjustments
2.9 Making Adjustments
It is necessary to adjust the IBM 5400-006 printer before operation or after the form
is replaced.
This section describes the following adjustments:
Print pressure
Vertical position
Horizontal position
Form tension
If you adjust the printer with the power on, make sure the printer is in not ready
status.
Note
If you open the platen open lever to check printing while printing is in progress,
the form might slacken, causing printing problems when printing is resumed.
2.9.1 Adjusting the Print Pressure
Use the form thickness adjustment lever to adjust the print pressure. (See the next
page.)
Refer to the following table when adjusting the form thickness adjustment lever.
Note
This table indicates the standard. To determine the appropriate position for
best print quality, see 2.10, “Test Printing” on page 2-54.
