Adjusting the paper thickness lever | Fujitsu DL3750+/3850+ guide

PAPER HANDLING

ADJUSTING FOR PAPER The printer can handle paper of different thicknesses, including multipart

THICKNESSforms with up to five parts (original plus four copies). For details on paper thickness specifications, see Appendix B.

The paper thickness lever, located at the top right corner of the printer, allows you to adjust for different paper thicknesses. Be sure to adjust the paper thickness lever whenever you change the number of copies being printed.

The paper thickness lever has nine settings: 1 to 5 and A to D. Use Table 3.2 to determine the appropriate setting for your paper; then, move the paper thickness lever to the appropriate position.
