Print Gap Lever

The printer can handle paper with different thicknesses, including multipart forms with

up to five parts (original plus four copies). For details on paper thickness specifications,

please refer to the section “Paper Specifications” on page 2-15 and to Appendix A, “Paper spec-

ifications” on page A-4. The print gap lever, located on the right under the cover, allows

you to adjust for different paper thicknesses. Be sure to adjust the Print Gap lever when-

ever you change the number of copies being printed.

The print gap lever has twelve settings.

Moving the Print Gap lever A to the rear

reduces the print gap, moving to the front

widens the print gap.

If printing smears, the ribbon misfeeds, or

the paper jams, move the lever one position

wider.
