It's just a precurser to lowering the print head, it holds the paper in
place, and if it's not good you can realign it by lowering to the "fourth"
notch... Avoiding lowering the print head too much.

As said, the envelope. The unidentified notch doesn't lower the print head.

I don¹t agree with the instructions.

Yes. Use a scrap piece of your thicker paper you are printing with. Or the
back of a print you aren't going to use, test print...  If you run some
tests, you'll see that by aligning with plain thin paper, then doing an
align on the thicker paper, it's different. At least it is for me.
