3.4 Adjusting for Paper Width
3.4 Adjusting for Paper Width
Paper must fall in front of the mark on the ruler (the paper sensor).
The default left margin is numbered 1 on the ruler. The only way to change the
left margin is by sending the appropriate protocol-specific software sequence.
The right margin setting is set by the Paper Width set-up feature:
Paper Width set-up selection Right margin column (number on ruler)
1–8 inches 80
8 inches 80
13.6 inches 136
The right margin can be modified by software sequences.

Set the Paper Width Set-up feature to 1–8". This causes the default
printhead to be aligned with the paper sensor mark. Put the rollers

positions of approximately 20 and 60. See Figure 3–15, part A.
NOTE: If you do not use the correct settings, there is a high risk of the printer
causing the paper to jam.
