Setting the print head
gap
The printer features automatic print head gap adjustment to the
thickness of the paper used. In setup mode, you can enter a correc-
tion value to modify the head gap that is normally determined auto-
matically. This correction is useful for modifying the appearance of
the type face. This correction will modify the appearance of the font.
It may be necessary to obtain optimum printing results on certain pa-
per types.
The AGA (automatic gap adjustment) function must be set to
On. For more detailed information, refer to the section
Automa-
tic gap adjustment (AGA) (page 77)
.
Press the Setup key. The printer changes to setup mode.
Press the Adjust (2) key.
Press the Head (1) key.
Use the
<
(2) or
>
(3) key to set the range within which the automatic
gap adjustment is to be corrected. You can select values in the
range from -10 to +10. Negative values reduce the head distance,
positive values increase it.
Confirm the input by pressing the Set (1) key.
Press the Setup key. The printer returns to the initial status.
Negative values decrease the print head gap, positive values
increase it. Changing the automatically determined value may
have a strong effect on the printing quality.
The setting made will be retained after switching off the
printer.
