AutoGap Set to Single
When AutoGap is set to Single, the printer sets the gap between the printhead and the
paper only once. This should only be used when printing on several cut sheets of the
same thickness while using the Auto Sheet Feeder. The printer adjusts the printhead to
the paper’s thickness when you turn the printer on or when the paper select lever is
changed.
There are two Single AutoGap options:
•
Open

sheet of paper is loaded. This setting reduces paper jams.
•
Fixed
means that once the gap is set, the printhead does not move.

font/pitch selection in the application software. The printer reverts to the default font/
