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 front cover, immediately in front of the release lever
shown in Figure 1-9. Pulling the adjustment lever towards you
will widen the gap; pushing it away from you will narrow the gap.

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.
