Adjusting the Paper-thickness lever
You can get the best printing quality by adjusting the paper-thickness lever according to the
thickness of the paper you are using.
The higher the number you set the paper-thickness lever to, the wider the space between the platen
and print head. If your printout appears faint or characters seem skipped or missing, this setting
may be too high. On the other hand, if the setting is too low, your printout may appear smudged,
the paper may not feed correctly, or the ribbon may become damaged.
The following tables provide guidelines for selecting the appropriate lever position for the type of
paper you are using. See also “Paper” on page 114 for the paper specifications supported by this
printer.
