Adjust Lever Position
This printer has an adjust lever to prevent smudges that can be caused during printing when the
paper thickness doesn’t fit the gap between the platen and the head. You must set the adjust lever
to the proper position for the paper type. The adjust lever is located at the left upper side of the
printer cover.
