Chapter2 Setup Loading Paper This section describes how to load and replace paper. The procedure for replacing paper varies depending on whether the paper is fed from inside or outside the printer. • To feed roll paper from outside the printer, prepare an external paper feeder by yourself. For more details, contact qualified service personnel for advice. • If you want to wind up printed roll paper, please prepare the optional rewinder (TU-RC8000). For instructions on how to use the rewinder, see the section below.
U "Rewinder (TU-RC8000)" on page 398 • When replacing paper with a different shape, form, or type of paper, change the paper settings either from the operation panel or on the printer driver before loading the paper.

Adjust the gap using the [Head-Media Clearance Height] menu.
