Chapter 1:
Setting Up Your Printer
Platen Gap Wheel and Lever
The Platen Gap Lever opens and closes the platen gap for loading paper
and ribbon.
The wheel rotates to let the platen accommodate different thicknesses of
paper. The higher the letter, the wider the platen gap. Once it's set, you
don't need to readjust it until you need to load paper of a different
thickness.
Figure 1–10. Platen Gap Adjustment Wheel and Lever
The Control Panel will be used to adjust the Platen Gap; see chapter 2.
When loading paper with a changed thickness, adjust the wheel until it's
snug against the form, but not too tight. Run a print test and adjust the
platen gap wheel to obtain optimum print quality and paper movement.
The print should be crisp and dark, with no smearing. Paper should
move smoothly through the print mechanism. Here are some things to
look for:
•
If the platen gap is open too far, the print may start fading out,
especially on the last sheet of a multi-part form.
•
If the platen gap is too narrow, the ribbon will start smearing ink
on the page, especially when the ribbon is moving and the paper
is not. In extreme cases, the shuttle may stop, and the paper may
jam.
