hi All my machine will not detect the correct width of media in use, it always goes to the widest points regardless of whatever width media is loaded can anybody suggest some solution , the edge detector is set to enable. thanks

Ok thanks but can you recommend a substance that I can use? Too late for the alcohol tips , hope I didn't damage the heads , I didn't go near the surface just about the edge a bit and around the caps, not on the furry bit
