Platen Gap 1.6
This is displayed when Custom Paper is selected in Paper Type.
When registering Custom Paper, this is set to the Platen Gap
(distance between print head and paper) for the paper selected in
Change Reference Paper, so it does not normally need to be
changed. Change this to a setting that will widen the gap (a higher
value) if print results are smeared.
