ADJUSTING THE PRINT HEAD
The distance between the print head and the platen must be adjusted to accom-
modate papers of different thicknesses. To make this adjustment, move the adjust-
ment lever, which is under the printer cover and immediately in front of the release
lever (Figure 2-9). Pulliing the adjustment lever towards you will widen the gap;
pushing it away from you will narrow the gap.
There are four positions; you can feel the lever clicking into the various notches.
The first step (illustrated) is the one most commonly used for single sheets of
paper.
You souldn’t have any trouble finding the right gap setting for your paper. If
necessary, experiment; you’ll soon find the best position for the paper you’re
using.
