Paper Thickness Adjustment

Before loading cut sheet or tractor paper, you have to adjust the gap adjust lever on the front right side of the printer.

To feed thicker papers through the printer, you need to move the gap adjust lever from its standard position.

The lever moves the print head relative to the platen so that there is more room for the paper.

Adjusting the gap adjust lever

To obtain good quality printing and prevent problems (paper jam etc.), adjust the gap adjust lever as shown in the Figure 3-1. The scale number # 1 shown in Figure 3-1 identifies the standard paper thickness setting. This is the recommended setting for most papers. Use Table 3-1 to find the recommended setting for other papers.
