2.1.2.2 Platen Gap Adjustment Mechanism
This mechanism sets the platen-printhead gap according to the paper thickness. Figure 2-5 shows the
platen gap adjustment sequence.
NOTE: Also, the gap can be ajusted by control panel operation (Refer to section 1.8.6. 1.).

Paper Thickness Detection Mechanism
Figure 2-6 shows the paper thickness detection mechanism. The PT sensor lever is driven by the PT
solenoid when it is energized. The distance that the PT sensor lever moves is monitored by the
on the PT sensor, and the detected value is converted into a voltage and transferred to the control circuit.
Table 2-4 lists the specifications of the PT solenoid and Table 2-5 lists the specifications of the PT sensor.
