The media thickness lever sets the distance between the printhead
and the material. Use it to compensate for different material
thicknesses. The lever is located inside the printer under the top
cover, as shown below.

A Note about Print Quality
The DA300 is designed to feed and print on a range of materials
with various finishes and coatings. However the sharpness of the
print may vary with different materials, depending on how
absorbent the surface is, as well as other qualities.
You'll get best results using white wove bonded stock. Printing is
less sharp on Tyvek, recycled and glossy material. It is also
possible that ink may not dry thoroughly on certain very glossy
materials. Always test high gloss materials for their drying
qualities before you buy them in quantity and attempt to run a
print job.
