Adjusting The Paper-Thickness Lever - Epson DLQ-3500 User Manual

Adjusting the Paper-Thickness Lever

You can get the best printing quality by adjusting the
paper-thickness lever according to the type of paper you are
using.
Usually, set the paper-thickness lever to the AUT O 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.
