2.1.1.2.1 Paper Gap Adjust Mechanism
This mechanism can be set by the users and can prevent various problems related to low image density
or print with any dirt by changing the positions of PG lever according to the paper types.
Paper Lever Position PG Value
Normal paper,
Coated paper
Front 0 mm

It is a major premise that parallelism adjustment is done correctly for the space between head and paper
(PG value above) which can be changed by adjusting the paper gap.
Parallelism adjustment should be done when the serviceman mounts the carriage guide shaft on the
printer mechanism during repair service. In the adjustment, the space should be adjusted to 1.04 mm,
using a thickness gauge.
