Adjusting The Gap; Self-Test - Star Micronics SG-10 User Manual

ADJUSTING THE GAP
The gap is the space between the print head and the platen.
Adjusting the gap is simply adjusting the printer to accommodate
different thicknesses of paper.
To make this adjustment, move the adjustment lever which is
under the printer cover, immediately in front of the release lever
shown in Figure 2-10. Pulling the adjustment lever towards you
will widen the gap; pushing it away from you will narrow the
gap.

The adjustment lever allows for different thicknesses of paper.
Five positions are available; you can feel the lever clicking into
the various notches. The second step (illustrated) is the one most
commonly used for single sheets of paper. The lever is nearly
straight up in this position.

You shouldn't encounter any difficulty in finding the right gap
setting to fit your paper. If necessary, experiment; you'll soon
find the best position for the paper you're using.
