The following table provides a general guide for setting the adjustment lever. Experiment with different settings until you find the one that gives you the print quality you want.

Important!

Continuous use of the wrong adjustment lever setting can drastically reduce print head life! The Multi-part Mode is only recommended when printing on 4 or 5 -ply paper.
