2. This number is for general reference. The precise relationship between the displayed number and physical
distance is complex and beyond the scope of this manual.
3. The control software will prevent selection of a print gap so small that it would pinch the paper so tightly that it
will bind within the mechanism.

Print Gap
Print Gap Category
This category has the parameters for
setting the different aspects of the print
gap mechanism. Use the Arrow and
Enter keys to select Menu => Operator
Menu => Print Gap to get here.
Detect
When the enter key is pressed to select this parameter, the platen squeezes against
the paper at the current paper position. The resulting optimal print gap setting is
stored in the current configuration. The platen opens up fully after this opera-
tion.
Adjust
This is where the print gap may be set, if Mode is set to Manual, or fine-tuned if
Mode is set to Auto. The final print gap value may be saved in a configuration
associated with this paper form.
Fine-Tuning when Mode is set to Auto
The upper right region of the LCD shows a number
1
corresponding to the
optimal print gap determined by the detection process (the gap separating
the hammer impactors from the platen). The lower right region displays an
adjustment offset number associated with fine-tuning. When the operator
presses the “-” or “+” Print Gap key on the control panel, this number will get
smaller or larger, respectively. The range of allowed change is restricted by
the auto gap firmware. The lower left region of the LCD provides a graphical
indication of the adjustment being made.

Fine-Tuning the Print Gap Manually
The lower right region of the LCD shows a number
2
corresponding to the
current gap separating the hammer impactors from the platen. Press the "+"
or "-" Print Gap key to roughly match the setting to the kind of paper that is
loaded. This number will get larger or smaller respectively. The range of
allowed change is unrestricted over the complete gap range. 3 The lower left
region of the LCD provides a graphical indication of the adjustment being
made.
