More Printer Parts You also need to become familiar with two other important printer parts before you attempt to load any type of paper. Remove the dust cover and open the front cover to find and identify these parts: the platen release lever and the print head adjustment lever. Platen release lever The platen release lever controls the pressure of the friction rollers against the platen. It is the black lever located on the left side of the printer at the end of the platen (as shown in Figure 3-1). This lever has two settings: engaged (back) and released (forward). Figure 3-1. Adjustment levers The first setting, engaged, is used with the single-sheet feed operation which is also called friction feed. In this position the pressure of the friction rollers against the paper causes it to feed through the printer. 30
