Product Description Control Panel 62
1.4.4.4 Platen Gap
This function allows you to select a gap between the printhead and paper (platen) from
the five options (narrow, standard, wide, wider, widest). The platen gap set in the
Custom Paper menu for the user-defined paper type (other than standard) has the
higher priority than that made by this Platen Gap menu. If, however, the paper
thickness sensor detects the paper as over 0.81mm, the platen gap is automatically set
to the Widest. The table below shows the details of the five option.
Note "*": Only in this case, SN command is ignored. When paper thickness is 0.15mm, it is
operated with minimum Bi-D value and minimum SN (PG).
Note : The platen setting is automatically reset at power-OFF and returns to the “Standard” (default)
when the printer is turned ON.
