damper.
13. Thread the leader under the media damper and then between the platen

14. Verify that the inside edge of the leader is against the fixed guide on the 
bottom of the media damper.
15. Push the media width guide in until it is flush with the outer edge of the 
media.
NOTE: Do not wrinkle the leader by pushing the media width guide too close 
to the SLPA panel.

the media guard). See “Positioning The Media Sensors” on page 56.
