2.1.1.2.1 Platen Gap Adjust Mechanism and Parallel adjustment Mechanism

This mechanism can be set by the users and can prevent various problems related to low image density

or print with any dirt by changing the positions of PG lever according to the paper types.

Table 2-6. Platen Gap Adjust Lever Setting

Paper Lever position PG adjustment value

Normal paper,

Front 0 mm

(1.1mm between head and platen)

Envelops Rear 0.9mm

(2.0mm between head and platen)

It is a major premise that parallel adjustment is done correctly for the space between head and platen

(PG adjustment value above) which can be changed by platen gap adjustment.

Parallel adjustment should be done when the serviceman mounts the carriage guide shaft on the printer

mechanism during the production process or repair service. In the adjustment, the space between

parallel adjustment lever and gauge should be 1.04 mm.
