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.

• Keep media type

  Select Enable to keep using the same type of paper.

• 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.

  • Warning message only

    Estimates remaining roll amount by using media type and roll diameter information. A warning appears when remaining roll amount comes closer to the specified value.

    Depending on the environment you are using the printer, selecting this setting may not manage remaining roll amount as precisely as you expected. We recommend you select a higher value for this setting item.

  • Disable

    Select to disable managing remaining roll amount.

• Roll amount warning setting

  Specifies when to warn the remaining roll paper amount.

• Switch roll paper when low

  Switches the roll paper for printing automatically when the roll is running out while printing is in progress.

  • 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.

    To switch the roll, several rolls need to remain in the roll.

    Without several rolls when switching the roll, you may fail in roll switching.

    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

  Selects printer action when you start printing with the paper size, the media type, and print settings different from those registered.

• Paper retention setting

  Selects whether to contact the roll nip with the rolls in feeding paper.

  If you select Retain, the roll nip contacts with the rolls and automatic feeding is enabled.

  If you select Release, the roll nip does not contact with the rolls and you can feed paper manually. Selecting Release does not allow you to switch the paper source of rolls (upper or lower) automatically.

• Advanced paper settings

  Specifies advanced paper settings for each paper feed position.

  Important
