Adjusting Print Head Height to Match Media Thickness
This adjusts the print head height to prevent media that is wrinkled or comes loose from the platen from contact-
ing the print heads.
You can select the print head height from "LOW", "MIDDLE" or "HIGH". Printing quality when the print head height
is set to "MIDDLE" or "HIGH" may be coarser or otherwise lower than when set to "LOW".

MEMO
• Normally move the height-adjustment lever to "LOW." For media that is wrinkled or comes loose from the platen, move the

adjustment lever to "MEDIUM" or "HIGH" needlessly.
