paper-thickness lever one position lower to improve
print quality. When the temperature is 95°F (35°C) or
more, set the paper-thickness lever one position higher
to improve print quality.

Using the Micro Adjust Function

The Micro Adjust function allows you to move the paper
forward or backward in 1/216-inch (0.118 mm) increments to
adjust the tear-off and top-of-form positions.

Adjusting the tear-off position

If your paper's perforation is not aligned with the tear-off edge,
you can use the Micro Adjust function to move the perforation
to the tear-off position. Your tear-off position setting remains in
effect until you change it, even if you turn off the printer.
Never use the knob to adjust the tear-off position; this
may damage the printer or cause it to lose the tear-off
position.
1. Make sure the Tear Off/Bin light is flashing (the paper is at
the current tear-off position). You may need to press the
button to advance the paper to the tear-off
