Chapter 2 - Installing the 6820 Printer Adjusting the Printhead Gap The printhead gap adjuster is part of the printer mechanism on the side opposite the green thumbwheel. The printhead adjuster has five notches between the printhead and the platen roller, for different paper thicknesses. To adjust the printhead gap 1 Verify the thickness of the paper loaded into the printer. 2 If you are using single-sheet forms, set the head gap adjuster to the third notch away from the paper. 3 If you are using multiple-sheet forms (2-ply or 3-ply), set the head gap adjuster to the fourth notch away from the paper. 4 If you experience frequent head jams, set the head gap adjuster to the fifth notch away from the paper. This may stop the head jams. 5 If the 2-ply and 3-ply paper have light printing, set the gap adjuster to a closer setting to darken the print. 1 5 Adjusting the Printhead 12 6820 Series 80-Column Printer User Manual
