The Print Head - Star Micronics NX-10 User Manual

ADJUSTING THE PRINT HEAD
The distance between the print head and the platen must-be
adjusted to accommodate papers of different thicknesses. To
make this adjustment, move the adjustment lever, which is
under the printer cover and immediately in front of the release
lever (Figure 2-9). Pulling the adjustment lever towards you will
widen the gap; pushing it away from you will narrow the gap.
Figure 2-9. The adjustment lever allows for different thicknesses
-
of paper.
There are four positions; you can feel the lever clicking into
the various notches. The first step (illustrated) is the one most
commonly used for single sheets of paper.
You shouldn't have any trouble finding the right gap setting
for your paper. If necessary, experiment; you'll soon find the
best position for the paper you're using.
