Adjusting the Printhead Gap
The head gap adjuster is near the printer mechanism on the side opposite
the green thumb wheel. The printhead adjuster has five notches between
the printhead and the platen for different paper thicknesses.
Verify the thickness of the paper loaded into the printer.
To adjust the printhead gap
• If you are using single-sheet forms, set the head gap adjuster to the
third notch away from the paper.
• If you are using multiple-sheet forms (2-ply or 3-ply), set the head
gap adjuster to the fourth notch away from the paper.
• If you experience frequent head jams, set the head gap adjuster to the
fifth notch away from the paper. This may stop the head jams.
• If the 2-ply and 3-ply paper have light printing, setting the gap
adjuster to a closer setting will darken the print.
