Loosen the thumbscrews and move the side guides until their outside edges are level with the marking on the scale corresponding to the width of the paper, and then re-tighten the thumbscrews so that the guides are held in place. Figure 4 - Side guides. 2. Note that the marked settings are meant to be wider than the paper, to allow for side jog.
