Operating Principles
2.2.3.1 Platen Gap Adjust Lever
The platen gap adjust lever, which is attached to the left side of the printer mechanism, needs to be set
to an appropriate position for the paper type. To change the platen gap (PG), put the printer in the
pause state; then change the lever position from the <0> position to the <+> position.
Note:
If print quality is not a problem, you do not need to change the lever position even if the
paper thickness is changed.
