Paper Type and Thickness
Paper type and thickness will affect print quality. Therefore, take both
thickness and type under consideration when determining where to position
the forms thickness adjustment lever. The three ridges on the lever are
reference points for paper thickness that can be from onetosix parts thick.
The forward (closed) lever position is for thinner paper. The back (open)
lever position is for thicker paper. For example, the forms thickness
adjustment lever should be positioned near the middle ridge when using
threepart paper and usually at the last ridge for onepart paper.
