Hints on Printer Settings for Paper Thickness
Before starting the print job you should print some sample pages to test the print result of the
different settings.
• Always set the PRINT IMPACT and the PRINT GAP Options to be compatible.
For example, if you set the For 5 parts Value for the PRINT GAP Option and you do
not set the PRINT IMPACT Option to Strong impact, you may not have satisfactory
print quality on the last part of the multipart form.
• Avoid printing with Strong impact strength on thin paper. This could damage the paper
and the platen.
• The Manual adjust. Value of the PRINT GAP Option does not allow very precise print
gap adjustment and should be used only for special paper, when other settings have not
produced satisfactory results.
Note:
For more details about the paper thickness setting, see the section "Setting the Printing
Modes" in Chapter 7 "Customizing Macros".
