Remove the Lock Tite (red) from the gap adjust bushings on both the left and right side of the printer. 4. Set the form thickness lever to position 1, by pushing it toward the back of the printer as far as it will go. 5. Move the printhead to the left edge of the rubber on the platen. 6. Shift the left gap adjust bushing clockwise as far as it will go. 7. Shift the right gap adjust bushing counterclockwise as far as it will go.
