How to use the head up/down mechanism
The printer automatically adjusts the head height to the best
height when the printer is turned on or when media is set. To
adjust the head height according to the media to be used,
select MEDIA REG MENU on the operation panel and adjust
the head height.
Note
Adjust the head height so that the head does not contact
with the media. Friction of the head may cause poor firing of
the head and degrade the print quality. On the other hand,
excessive head height from the media will also degrade the
print quality. Use the printer with the head height that is
automatically adjusted by the printer.

Note
Make the media edge guard usage setting in the MEDIA REG
MENU from the operation panel. The right and left margins of
the media are controlled by this setting.
When media edge guards are used, the right and left print
area margins increase to 10 mm. (When no media edge guard
is used, the margins are 5 mm.)
When the media edge guard is stained, wipe it out.
Remove feathering that cannot be removed by the media
edge guard beforehand as it may cause nozzle-out.
