Platen Gap Platen Gap is the height from the media loaded in the 
printer to the print head. By adjusting this parameter, you 
may produce better print quality. This is set automatically 
according to the Paper Thickness setting specified.
Note:
Setting Platen Gap to Narrow may produce better print 
quality, but make sure the media does not wrinkle or 
touch the print head; otherwise, printed data or the print 
head surface may be damaged. Use Wider or Wide in 
such case. Mode Description
