Uses and Details

• When to replace:

  • Cracked housing, bent foot, or weak/uneven spring tension

  • Clamp no longer holds media flat or leaves marks due to wear

  • After impact or head rub incidents that deform the clamp

• Best practices:

  • Place clamps just outside the printed image path, near media edges.

  • Do not position clamps where the printhead will pass over them.

  • Remove clamps before sheet cut or when loading very thick materials.

  • Keep the platen clean; wipe clamp contact surfaces to avoid ink transfer.

• Maintenance tip: Inspect spring force and feet regularly; replace in pairs to maintain even pressure across the width.
