Adjusting for Paper Thickness

The MX-70 can print on all types of pre-printed multiple copy forms and carbons, as well as ordinary printer paper. The 7 position thickness control lever (Figures l-10 and l-11) moves the print head closer to or farther from the paper, changing the print quality somewhat. For ordinary, single-thickness paper, start out with the control lever at about the middle position. For multiple copy forms, pull it towards the front of the printer. Push the lever towards the rear of the printer to produce slightly darker print.

Plugging it in

One more item, and we’ll be off and running.

Printers sold in the U.S. and Canada are designed for a standard 12OV, 60Hz outlet, and have a 3 wire ground plug. Do not attempt to defeat the grounding. When you’ve located a proper outlet, see that the POWER switch on the right-hand side (Figure l-10) is OFF, then plug the cord in!

At Last

The big moment is here. TURN IT ON!

Mmmm! Look at that! A few startup clicks, a single green light, and it just sits there waiting. The old days were never like this.
