ADJUSTING THE PRINT HEAD

The distance between the print head and the platen must-be adjusted to accommodate papers of different thicknesses. To

make this adjustment, move the adjustment lever, which is under the printer cover and immediately in front of the release lever (Figure 2-9). Pulling the adjustment lever towards you will widen the gap; pushing it away from you will narrow the gap.

Figure 2-9.The adjustment lever allows for different thicknesses of paper.

There are four positions; you can feel the lever clicking into

-

the various notches. The first step (illustrated) is the one most

 

commonly used for single sheets of paper.

 

You shouldn’t have any trouble finding the right gap setting

 

for your paper. If necessary, experiment; you’ll soon find the

 

best position for the paper you’re using.
