7. Gap Adjustment
The adjustment of a gap between the head nose and the platen is used to adjust the
printing pressure as well as to suit the paper of the different thickness.
(1) Move the head adjusting lever (located on the left frame of the Printer) forward or
backward to adjust the gap between the head nose and the platen. (See Fig. 18)
Forward: To widen the gap.
Backward: To narrow the gap.
NOTE: With a thick paper, be sure to widen this gap.
(2) Adjust the position of the head adjusting lever according to the type of paper to
be used.
Single-leaf paper
Carbon paper sheets
(3) Should printed characters become faint due to the use of the printer for an ex-
tended period, move the head adjusting lever backward (in theOdirection) by one
step. (See Fig. 18)
(4) When a set of carbon paper sheets is used, be sure that no characters are print-
ed within the two lines above and below the perforation.
