Setting the print head
gap

The printer features automatic print head gap adjustment to the
thickness of the paper used. In Setup mode, you can enter a correc-
tion value to modify the head gap that is normally determined auto-
matically. This correction is useful for modifying the appearance of
the type face. This correction will modify the appearance of the font.
It may be necessary to obtain optimum printing results on certain pa-
per types.

The AGA (automatic gap adjustment) function must be set to
once or always. For more detailed information, refer to the sec-
tion
