Forms Thickness Control Lever 
The Forms Thickness Control lever adjusts the position 
of the print head to allow room for single sheets or 
multiple-copy forms.  Move the lever toward the rear 
for single sheets, and toward the front for 
multiple-copy forms. 
This lever can affect print darkness. 
If 
the printing 
is 
too light, move the lever toward the rear 
of 
the printer; 
if the printing 
is 
smeared, move the lever toward the 
front.  The best position for the lever 
is 
as far to the 
front 
of 
the printer as possible while still getting good 
print with a good condition ribbon installed. 
Warning:  Positioning the Forms Thickness Control 
lever too far to the rear for the forms being used 
will result in premature wear of the print head and 
platen.
