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 on the right side of the platen to one of its four settings. The adjustment lever position that is nearest to the back of the printer is Position 1 (minimum gap), while the position at the opposite extreme is Position 4 (maximum gap). Position 2, which is marked with a dot, 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.
