1.4.4.4 PG Setting

Executing this mode allows the user to set the width of platen gap.
If paper type other than standard is selected in user paper setting menu, PG
specified in user paper setting has the priority. However if the paper thickness
sensor detects the paper as over 0.81mm, PG position will be Muximum.
The following 5 positions are available in the actual platen gap setting.
Table 1-27. The actual platen gap
Position Gap width
Muximum 2.6mm For thick paper
Big 2.1mm Reduce the smearing on the printed image of thin paper.
Middle 1.5mm For certain easy-rubbed thin paper
Small 1.2mm For thin paper (Default)
Minimum 0.7mm For thin film (Film, glossy media)
