3.
Turn the Gap Set Lever to Position 1.

6.
Using Feeler Gauges [1] of 0.35 mm and 0.40 mm, move the Gap Set Bush A [4]
to the front and back so that the gap between the Print Head (24L) [2] and the
Platen Assembly [3] may be adjusted to be between 0.35 and 0.40 mm,
As a standard of proper gap value, a Feeler Gauge of 0.35 mm can be inserted
smoothly but insertion of a Feeler Gauge of 0.40 mm is slightly difficult.
