3.6 Form Thickness Adjustment
The distance from the printhead to the paper is automatically changed to accommodate
the thickness of the forms whenever the unit is powered up or paper is loaded. The
adjustment can be manually changed using the knob on the right-hand side of the printer,
or adjusted automatically by changing the feature setting as outlined below.
1. Load the form requiring this adjustment and run a print sample.
2. Inspect the print sample. The characters should be easy to read, with no missing
dots. Be sure to check the last copy of multi-part forms for properly formed
characters.
3. If the print quality is unacceptable (too light, missing dots, or smearing), or paper
handling is affected, adjust form thickness gap as follows:
a. Open the Keypad Door to access Setup menu
b. Press the Next Menu key to access Menu 8: Form Thickness.
c. Press Feature  key to obtain this display:
4. Use the Value keys to adjust the form thickness gap. Form thickness setting will
be stored in memory.
a. Press the Value  key once or twice to reduce the form gap (moves the
printhead closer to the form) if there is light print.
