Adjusting For Paper Thickness - Epson MX-70 User Manual

Chapter 1

Adjusting for Paper Thickness

The MX-70 can print on all types of pre-printed multiple copy forms and
carbons, as well as ordinary printer paper. The 7 position thickness control
lever (Figures l-10 and l-11) moves the print head closer to or farther from the
paper, changing the print quality somewhat. For ordinary, single-thickness
paper, start out with the control lever at about the middle position. For multiple
copy forms, pull it towards the front of the printer. Push the lever towards the
rear of the printer to produce slightly darker print.
Plugging it in
One more item, and we'll be off and running.
Printers sold in the U.S. and Canada are designed for a standard 12OV, 60Hz
outlet, and have a 3 wire ground plug.
When you've located a proper outlet, see that the POWER switch on the
right-hand side (Figure l-10) is OFF, then plug the cord in!
At Last
The big moment is here. TURN IT ON!
Mmmm! Look at that! A few startup clicks, a single green light, and it just sits
there waiting. The old days were never like this.
