Paper-related settings

Select this setting item from Device settings.

Roll paper auto feed

Enables/disables feeding roll paper automatically when you load it on the roll unit.

Selecting Enable detects the paper edge automatically and paper is loaded automatically only by putting roll paper on the roll unit.

Select Disable if you load roll paper manually, or if you have any problem in feeding roll paper automatically.

Note
- Roll paper with a width of less than 250 mm cannot be fed automatically.
  
  Select Disable and feed paper manually.
Media type selection method

Specifies a method to select the media type when paper is loaded.
- Manual
  
  You need to select a media type from the registered media types manually.
- Auto detect
  
  The media type estimated by the printer's sensor is set automatically.
  
  As the estimation accuracy increases, it will be not necessary to select the media type each time.
- Auto with confirmation
  
  Among the media types estimated by the printer's sensor, the most likely ones are listed at the top.
  
  You need to select a media type from the listed media types manually.
- Use current media type
  
  Select this to continue using the same type of paper.
Note
- When using the paper estimation function, the paper width detection function is enabled even if you set Detect paper width to Disable.
- If the loaded paper is used by your printer for the first time, or if there is no applicable media type, No selection log entry will be displayed.
  
  If No selection log entry is displayed, select a media type manually.
  
  At this time, the printer learns the data of the selected media type.
  
  The next time the same paper is loaded, the media type is estimated from this data.
- When using a paper that is not listed in the paper information list, perform Create Custom Paper in Media Configuration Tool. After create the paper information, we recommend to perform Paper feed adjustment.
  
  If the created custom paper does not appear as a candidate in the paper information list even if it is fed many times, perform Paper feed adjustment again.
- Errors may occur in the estimation results.
Manage remaining roll amount

Selects the method to manage remaining roll amount and that to display warning when the roll is running short.
- Barcodes
  
  Manages remaining roll amount by using a barcode.
  
  By using the barcode every time you replace a roll, you can manage remaining roll amount properly. Specify the roll length properly when you load a new roll.
- Auto estimate
  
  Estimates and manages the remaining amount of roll paper.
  
  The estimated remaining roll amount is displayed on the HOME screen.
  
  The barcode is not printed when Auto estimate is selected.
  
  To estimate the remaining roll amount, Paper thickness and Paper tube outer diameter have to be set correctly.
  
  When using a paper that is not listed in the paper information list, set Thickness and Paper Tube Size in Advanced paper settings or in Media Configuration Tool.
  
  For paper thickness and paper tube outer diameter size, contact the paper manufacturer.
- Disable
  
  Select to disable managing remaining roll amount.

- Enable
  
  This setting is valid only when Barcodes is selected for Manage remaining roll amount.
  
  The roll paper for printing is switched with several rolls remaining.
- Disable
  
  Switches the roll paper for printing by estimating the remaining amount based on the roll amount value you entered.
  
  In addition, if the roll length is not specified properly, paper may remain when switching, or it may have run out while printing is in progress.
Roll paper auto switching

Enables/Disables switching roll paper feed position by detecting the paper size.
Detect paper setting mismatch

Note
- You can select Extension for borderless printing as a setting item for some paper types.
  
  If you select Select extension amount for Paper with adequate width in Extension for borderless printing, the border may remain on the paper depending on the setting value. In this case, change the setting value, or perform Sample of extension amounts to check the value with no border and enter it.
- If you select Sample of extension amounts, you can print out output samples by adjustment value and check the amount of extension when borderless.
  
  Check the edges (A) of the paper of No. 1 to No. 8 of the output pattern, and select the appropriate number for the amount of protrusion of the printed pattern.
  
  We recommend to clean the platen after printing the adjustment pattern.
- Depending on the printing environment, the back of the paper may be soiled by the ink that has run out, even if the border is missing.
