Changing the Print Head Height

The print head height setting affects printing quality.

Specifying a low print head height makes images clearer and enhances printing quality but may cause paper to rub against the print head.

On the other hand, specifying a high print head height will prevent paper from rubbing against the print head but may reduce the printing quality.

Important

• Paper rubbing against or becoming caught on the print head may jam or result in printed documents that are soiled.

Note

• Raise or lower print head, depending on nature of the problem.

  • Paper rubs against the Print Head
  • The edges of the paper are dirty
  • Image edges are blurred or white banding occurs
