Making
adjustments
to the printer
Setting
the print gap
Paper comes in different weights, normally quoted in
gsm (grams per square meter). 60 gsm and 90 gsm are
typical figures. Heavier paper is thicker. Multi-part
forms are generally thicker than single sheets or ordi-
nary fanfold paper.
The distance between the print head and the platen can
be adjusted to suit the current paper thickness. The
adjustment
lever is located inside the printer's main
body, at the right-hand
side of the platen. There are five
settings. Push the lever up to narrow the gap between
the print head and the platen, and downwards
to widen
the gap. The top position is referred to as position 1, and
the lowest position as position 5. Position 2, which is
marked with a black dot, is the one most suited to single
sheets.
