29.Turn the Auto Platen Stop Knob clockwise or counterclockwise to match the paper thickness. (The A-B-C scale corresponds approximately to 1-, 3-, and 6-part paper thickness. Adjust until you have the desired print quality).

NOTE: The platen stop allows you to set an optimum and consistent thickness that is not affected when opening and closing the platen lever.

30.Lower the platen lever until it stops.

31.Press ON LINE/CLEAR to clear any fault messages (such as “LOAD PAPER”) from the LCD.

32.Press SET TOF. The top-of-form you have set moves down to the print position. If there is data in the buffer, the paper moves forward to the last print position on the next page.

33.Press ON LINE/CLEAR and close the printer cover.
