    You must specify the remaining amount of roll within about five seconds. If you do not, the roll length specified on Advanced paper settings is regarded as the default value.

      • For pre-registered paper, the paper core outer diameter and paper thickness are set, but they may be changed at the convenience of the media manufacturer.

      • If you want to use paper that is not displayed in the paper information list, set the paper thickness and paper core outer diameter in the Media Configuration Tool.
