The head gap is the distance between the print head and the platen
roller. When you use envelopes or multi-part forms you will need to
have a larger gap than when using plain paper. Use the recommended
head gap to ensure the best print quality and easy paper feed.
To adjust the print head gap, move the coloured lever located to the
left of the ribbon cartridge (a), to the correct position for the type of
stationery being used......
.....as detailed in the following table:
CAUTION!
Incorrect setting of the print head gap can cause print head damage
or ribbon jams. To avoid these problems set the print head gap for the
type of stationery being used.
