not necessary. Skip step 5 (For Windows) or step 6 (For Mac OS 9.x and Mac OS X).
About paper margin
In the Control Panel and Product Information section of the Reference Guide, the supported paper margins
are incorrect. The correct paper margins should be DEFAULT, T/B 15 mm,
T/B 25 mm, 15 mm, and 3mm.
The following table shows the default paper margin for the paper.
Note:
❏When you set the margin once, the margin applies to all media. To change the paper margin, select the target
margin setting again.
❏Try T/B 25 mm when smear may result in the top and bottom areas.
When you select the paper margin setting except DEFAULT, the following number appears on the right
side of the paper mark on the printer’s control panel.

About Platen Gap
In the Control Panel section of the Reference Guide, the description about Platen Gap on the Custom Paper
menu is incorrect. WIDEST is not supported, so read it as below.
You can adjust the distance between the print head and paper. Normally, leave this set to STANDARD.
If you find that printed images are smeared, select WIDE. Select NARROW for printing on thin paper, or
WIDER for printing on thick paper.
Note:
❏There is also Platen Gap on the Printer Setup menu, but this one supports WIDEST. Only Platen Gap on the
Custom Paper menu does not support WIDEST.
❏The setting will return to STANDARD after you turn the printer on and off.
Cleaning the Printer
In the Maintenance and Transportation section of the Reference Guide, we have added some more
information for Cleaning the Printer, so read it as below.
To keep your printer operation in its top condition, clean it thoroughly if it becomes soiled.
wWarning:
Be careful not to touch the gears inside the printer.

❏Never use alcohol or thinners to clean the printer; these chemicals can damage the components as well
as the case.
❏Be careful not to get water on the printer mechanism or electronic components.
❏Do not use a hard or abrasive brush.
❏Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants; unsuitable oils can damage the mechanism.
Contact your dealer or a qualified service person if lubrication is needed.

2. Open the top cover and then use a soft, clean cloth to carefully remove any dust or dirt inside the
printer. Wipe the gray part by following the directions of the arrows.
If there is a serious problem of dirt on the inside of the printer, clean it using a soft, clean cloth
dampened with mild detergent. Then, wipe the inside of the printer dry with a dry, soft cloth.
3. If the back of a printout is soiled, carefully clean the platen (the gray part) using a soft, clean cloth.
4. If some powdery paper dust is stuffed in the platen, use something like a toothpick to remove it.
Close the top cover.
5. If the outer case is dirty, clean it using a soft, clean cloth dampened with mild detergent. Keep the
ink compartment covers closed to prevent water from getting inside.
