When the carriage is in the home position, the PG motor can drive the cam via
a series of gears. The motor turns counter clockwise to turn the cam and raise
or lower the subcarriage to a set height. The actual platen gap position used
during printing depends on the paper thickness as well as the control panel
Platen Gap setting.
NOTE: You can manually set the platen gap. See Platen Gap in
"Printer Setting Menu" on page 41 for information on making
this setting.
