4. Lower the forms thickness lever. The CLOSE PLATEN fault clears

NOTE: Do not set the forms thickness lever too tightly; excessive friction can
cause paper jams and ribbon jams with potential for ribbon damage,
smeared ink, or wavy print.
5. Press Set Top of Form . The paper moves downward to the top-of-form
