Adjusting for paper thickness

Paper comes in different weights, normally expressed as gsm (grams per square meter) or lbs (pounds). Some form paper also has multiple pages that make them quite thick. Use the following procedure to change the gap between the print head and the platen and adjust for paper thickness.

❏Move the adjustment lever to one of its four settings. Position 2 is most suitable for single- sheet paper.

The following table provides a general guide for setting the adjustment lever. Experiment with different settings until you find the one that gives you the print quality you want.

Paper Type		Weight Per	Thickness	Recommended
		Sheet		Position
Single-sheet		52 to 90 gsm	0.07 to	2 or 3
			0.12 mm
	2-ply	40 to 52 gsm	0.07 to	2 or 3
			0.12 mm
Copy
	3-ply	40 to 52 gsm	0.13 to	2 or 3
			0.21 mm

Continuous use of the wrong adjustment lever setting can drastically reduce print head life!
