When Loading Thick Media (Only When Printing)
Media that is thick or that warps easily may lead to problems with media feed or jamming. When you are using such
media, adjust the height of the print heads. You adjust the height of the print heads only when performing printing.

The head height is setting at position 2 (middle) when shipped from the factory.
