MA-10,018
Paper Bail
The paper bail holds the paper against the platen. Red etch marks on the
bail help you position paper on the platen and locate the horizontal print-
ing position.
Paper Thickness Lever
The paper thickness lever adjusts the printhead position to allow for dif-
ferent printing form thickness. Keep the lever close to the platen for nor-
mal printing .. Move the lever away from the platen for thicker sheets and
multicopy forms.
Paper Release Lever
The paper release lever controls paper holding tension. In the forward po-
sition, paper is held tightly against the platen. In the backward position,
the paper is free for positioning or removal.
Platen Knob
The platen knob allows manual control of the platen for paper insertion,
and for changing the paper's vertical position.
