Paper Thickness Lever Positions
The paper thickness lever is located under the printer cover.
You need to set the paper thickness lever for the type of paper
you are using, as shown in the table below.
Note:
If the printing on the bottom copies of your thick multi-part forms is
faint, turn on the double-strike mode as described in Chapter 2 of the
User’s Guide.

slack in the paper, you need to move the sprockets.
1. If you are using the front push tractor, open the front paper
guide and remove it.
If you are using the rear push tractor, open the paper guide
cover and remove the paper guide.
2. Open both sprocket covers.
