and over the platen roller.
10. Slide the adjustable Right Media Guide to the left until it is gently touching the media.
Note: If the Media Guides are too loose the media may pull out from them and result in
false media out errors. If the Media Guides are too tight the media may buckle and
result in media jams.

Head Latches snap shut.

Note: The first time media is installed, the Media Sensor must be calibrated. After the
first calibration no further calibration is required unless the media type (length,
color, backing material, etc.) is changed or irregular feeding occurs. Refer to the
section Calibrating Media Sensors for instructions on how to calibrate the media
sensor.
