2.1.6 Platen Gap Adjustment Mechanism
‘The platen gap (the gap between the platen and the printhead) can be adjusted to allow the printer
to use paper of different weights or thicknesses. When the gap adjust lever is moved forward or
backward, the CR guide shaft rotates. This rotation moves the carriage either toward or away from
the platen and changes the platen gap. The correct platen gap is 0.45
tO.02 mm with the gap adjust
lever set to position O.
