SECTION 2 

INSTALLATION & SETUP 

 

Media Thickness Adjustment 

The printhead carriage height must be set to accommodate the thickness of the media you will be 
feeding. This printer incorporates a servo motor to control the height of the carriage. 

1.

 

Make sure the printer is off-line. If on-line, press the ONLINE key to take it off-line. 

2.

 

Press the MENU key, then use the +key to scroll to the menu item “Media Thickness Setup”. Press 
the ENTER key to select this feature. 

3.

 

Turn the Media Thickness Dial [A] fully 
clockwise. This will cause the servo motor 
to raise the printhead carriage to its highest 
position. 

4.

 

Place a piece of media [B] under the 
printhead carriage rollers, as shown in 

Figure 25

5.

 

Slowly adjust the Media Thickness Dial [A] 
counter-clockwise until the printhead 
carriage rollers touch and hold the Media 
[B] securely. 

Figure 24

6.

 

When properly adjusted the Media [B] will 
be securely captured between the printhead 
carriage rollers and the lower transport 
belts. It should require a moderate amount 
of force to pull the Media [B] from under 
the printhead carriage rollers. 

Tip: 

 Make a note of the Media Thickness 

Dial position, as a reference for future 
adjustment when using this particular 
media.  

7.

 

Press the MENU button to exit out of the 
“Media Thickness Setup” mode. 

 

NOTE: 

The printer will automatically raise the printhead carriage to its highest position, when you exit 

the “Media Thickness Setup” mode. When the printer is told to print or feed material, it will 
automatically lower the carriage to your preset value. 

 

The chart below can be used as a general guideline for setting the position of the Media 
Thickness Dial [A].
