Selectors 1 and 2: Head-platen gap offset (Prevention of stains on recording paper)
If using curled or thick recording paper results in a stained print face of the paper, increase the gap
between the head nozzles and the platen with these selectors to reduce the production of stains.
Enabling the head-platen gap offset increases the gap to 1.6 or 2.3 mm if it was 1.3 or 1.6 mm,
respectively. (The details are given in the table below.)
In borderless printing, even if enabled by these selectors, the head-platen gap offset becomes disabled
except when the Brother premium glossy photo paper is used with the "Photo" or "Highest" print
quality selected.
