Adjusting for paper thickness
Paper comes in different weights, normally expressed
as gsm (grams per square meter) or lbs (pounds).
Some form paper also has multiple pages that make
them quite thick. Use the following procedure to
change the gap between the print head and the platen
and adjust for paper thickness.
❏
Move the adjustment lever to one of its four
settings. Position 2 is most suitable for single-
sheet paper.
The following table provides a general guide for
setting the adjustment lever. Experiment with
different settings until you find the one that gives you
the print quality you want.
Continuous use of the wrong adjustment lever setting
can drastically reduce print head life!
