ADJUSTING THE PRINTING GAP

The distance between the print head and the platen can be adjusted to accommodate different paper thicknesses. To make this adjustment, remove the top cover. The adjustment lever is located near the right end of the paper bail. Pulling the adjustment lever upwards narrows the gap; pushing it downwards widens the gap.

There are five positions; you can feel the lever clicking into each position. The second position from the top is the one most commonly used for single sheets of paper. Try different positions until you get the best printing results.
