  2. Insert the gap gauges (1.8 mm (approx. 0.071 inch)) [C] and [D] between the jam detection feeler [A] and the platen [B].

  3. Loosen the screws shown in red circle, and then adjust the height of the jam detection feeler.
    The pictures below show the right side of the platen.

    Do not remove or loosen the four screws shown in the blue rectangle.

  4. Measure the distance between the platen and the lower end of the jam detection feeler at the three points of the platen (right edge, middle, left edge) to make sure that they are 1.6 mm or larger (approx. 0.071 inch or larger).
    Put the gap gauge (1.6 mm) [A] on the platen, pass the carriage above the gap gauge, and then check if the gap gauge is out of position.
