Paper-Thickness Settings
Usually, set the paper-thickness lever to the
AUTO position as shown below; your printer
automatically adjusts itself to the thickness
of the paper loaded in the printer.
If you are not content with the printing
quality, especially when using special paper
such as multipart forms, you can manually
set the paper-thickness lever to the
appropriate position.
The higher the number you set the
paper-thickness lever to, the wider the space
between the platen and print head. If your
printout appears faint or characters seem
skipped or missing, this setting may be too
high. On the other hand, if the setting is too
low, your printout may appear smudged,
the paper may not feed correctly, or the
ribbon may become damaged.
The following table provides guidelines for
selecting the appropriate lever position for
the type of paper you are using.
