The following table provides a general guide for setting the adjustment
lever. Experiment with different settings until you find the one that gives
you the print quality you want.
Important!
Continuous use of the wrong adjustment lever setting can drastically
reduce the print head life. Position “–” is used only when the print
quality is too light. Setting the lever to position “–” when you are
using thin paper may damage the print head.
3. Adjust the paper edge to the desired position. The ▼ mark of the guide
indicates where the left margin of the printing will be.
