| 81 – 127 gsm X | |||||
| Envelope X | |||||
| Carbon paper or Pressure-sensitive paper (40 gsm) | See below | ||||
| 2 part X | |||||
| 3 part X | |||||
| 4 part X | |||||
| 5 part X | |||||
| 6 part X | |||||
Set the Paper Thickness lever for overall paper thickness as follows:
| OVERALL PAPER THICKNESS LEVER POSITION | |
| 0.06 – 0.10 mm 1 | |
| 0.11 – 0.18 mm 2 | |
| 0.19 – 0.25 mm 3 | |
| 0.26 – 0.32 mm 4 | |
| 0.33 – 0.39 mm 5 | |
| 0.40 – 0.46 mm 6 | |
NOTE
Printing with lever positions 5 - 6 is not guaranteed.
If the lever position does not suit the paper thickness, paper feeding and printing may not work properly.
Do not print bankbooks to avoid possible pin breakage/ribbon snagging.
Printing can be carried out with the lever position set to 4 for paper thickness up to 0.32 mm.
When lever positions 5-6 are selected, printing quality for carbon paper may decline resulting in illegible characters for example.
