It is possible to adjust the gap between the print head and platen to accommodate various thicknesses of form and print density.

The head adjusting lever is located on the left side frame of the print mechanism. Move forward to widen gap.

Move rearward to narrow gap.

This lever can also be used to compensate for decreased print density due to ribbon wear after extended usage.
