Paper handling
The printer can handle paper with different thicknesses. The Print Gap Lever allows you to adjust for different paper thickness. Be sure to
adjust the Print Gap Lever whenever you change the number of copies to be printed. If desired, raise the paper support fully up, position
#4-2, for improved visual paper loading. After loading, move the paper support to fully down position #1.
