Adjusting the platen gap for thick or thin paper
When you print on unusually thick or thin paper, you may need to adjust the platen gap setting. Standard
is the default setting. However, if print quality is not satisfactory when using very thin or very thick media,
you may need to change this setting
.
Note: If you notice scuffs on the first few inches of your prints, this is caused by paper curl and print head strikes.
Make sure your paper is flat. You can also try changing the Platen Gap setting to Wide. If that doesn’t solve the
problem, try changing it to Wider.
