Paper-related settings

This item is displayed by selecting Printer settings after selecting (Setup) on the HOME screen.

  • 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 core 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.

      Important

      • If you do not select the media type correctly, the remaining roll amount may not be estimated correctly.

      • There is an error in the estimated remaining roll amount, and paper may run out during printing.

    • Disable

      Select to disable managing remaining roll amount.

  • Roll amount warning settings

    Specifies when to warn the remaining roll paper amount.

    • Roll paper setting 7

      Select whether 600 mm or 24 inch is applied when a sheet of an intermediate size is detected.

  • Keep margin at cut sheet end

    When printing on the sheet using AirPrint, selecting Enable sets the trailing edge of the paper to 20 mm. Select Enable if printing on the trailing edge of the paper is disturbed.

  • Auto feed at power on

    When Enable is selected, the printer judges the existence of paper exchange when starting up, and if paper has been exchanged, paper feeding operation is performed.

    It may take time to judge paper exchange.

    When Disable is selected, the printer does not judge whether or not to change the paper when starting up, and waits with the current paper feed setting.

  • Print advanced paper settings

    Prints out each setting specified in Advanced paper settings.

  • Add priority roll paper width
