Appendix Paper Detector Roll Paper Feeder • Do not use a deformed roll paper. Take up any slack in the roll paper when loading it. • When shipped from the factory, the 58-mm width roll paper guide is set to use 58 mm wide roll paper. Remove or attach the roll paper guide(s) according to the width of the roll paper to be used. ( Changing the Paper Width ) • The paper width setting of the printer is automatically switched depending on whether or not the 58-mm width roll paper guide is set. If it is set, the paper width is set to 58 mm; if it is not set, the paper width is set to 80 mm. You need to change the paper width setting manually only when using 40 mm wide roll paper.
Once you print on 40 or 58 mm wide roll paper, do not change to a wider paper (change from 40 to 58 or 80 mm, or change from 58 to 80 mm). If you do so, the following problems may occur. • The printout is faint. • There are areas or dots that cannot be printed. • Black vertical streaks appear on printout. • If 40 mm width or 58 mm width paper is skewed during printing, color of paper edge surface may change. • The autocutter cannot cut paper partially or fully, or the cut end is not clean. • The printer cannot feed paper normally. • A paper jam occurs. 122 Roll paper end detector Detects the presence or absence of paper in the paper path. When roll paper end is detected, printing is stopped.
Printing is resumed when a roll paper is set and the roll paper cover is closed. Paper removal detector Detects the presence of printed paper that was cut off with the autocutter. The next printing is started when cutting with the autocutter is finished and the printed paper is removed. Before starting the next printing, the top margin can be adjusted by feeding paper backward. For information about the setting, see GS ( E . Liner-free label paper should be used with the paper removal detector enabled. Plain paper should be used with the paper removal detector disabled. Loading method Drop-in paper loading Paper width 40 mm, 58 mm, 80 mm
