Abstract
An improved printer for accommodating and printing upon, a broad range of record medium thicknesses, including multi-part forms, while maintaining high print quality. The printer includes a platen and a pair of guide rails having a fixed relationship to one another, and an adjustable marking module supported for movement along the guide rails. An adjustment mechanism for adjusting the clearance between the platen and the marking module includes a toggle bracket for allowing the front of the module to pivot about the guide rail closest to the platen and for allowing the rear of the module to be moved relative to the furthest guide rail.
