Adjusting the Print Head Gap

For fixed mount and portable printers, the head gap adjust-
er is on the right side of the printer mechanism. For wall
mount printers, the head gap adjuster is on the left. The
head gap adjustor has five notches between the print head
and the platen. This adjuster is for different paper thick-
nesses.
Verify the thickness of the paper loaded into the printer.

If you are using single-sheet forms, set the head gap
adjuster to the third notch away from the printer.
If you are using multiple-sheet forms (2-ply or 3-ply),
set the head gap adjuster to the fourth notch away
from the paper.
If you experience frequent head jams, set the head gap
adjuster to the fifth notch away from the paper. This
may stop the head jams.
