4-3. Changing the Paper Thickness
To change the paper thickness setting, change the tension and the slide lever positions.
4-3-1. Setting the Tension Lever Position
By factory default, the tension lever is set for paper thicknesses between 65 µm and 100 µm.
To use paper whose thickness is greater than 100 µm and up to 150 µm, change the left and right paper guides’ tension
lever positions according to the instructions given below.
(1) Pull the cover open lever toward you, and pull the front cover out to open it.
(2) Insert a precision flat-blade screwdriver between the front frame and the paper guide, and as shown in the figure, push the
part of the tension lever that is set in the paper guide outward to release it, and turn the lever clockwise.
