Set a Custom Size Roll Width

By specifying the roll paper width with a value, you can use roll paper with a width that cannot be selected in Roll Paper Width.

The procedure for setting custom size roll width is described below.

  1. Open the printer driver setup window

  2. Select the paper source

    From the Paper Source list on the Page Setup tab, choose the best option for your purposes between Roll Paper (Auto), Roll 1 and Roll 2.

  3. Select paper roll width

    In Roll Paper Width, select User-defined1 (XXXX) / User-defined2 (XXXX).
    The Custom Size Settings dialog box opens.

  4. Set paper roll width

    Specify Units, enter the roll width you want to use, and then click OK.

    Note

    • If the value you entered is the same as the other roll widths, a message will be displayed, and the other roll paper sizes will be set.

  5. Complete the setup

    Click OK on the Page Setup tab.
    If you perform the print, the roll paper with the specified width will be used for printing with each setting applied.

Note

  • If the paper settings in the printer driver differ from the paper information registered on the printer, an error message may appear on the printer's operation panel. You can execute Print, but you may not obtain the correct printing result.
  • If you select a paper feed method for the custom size roll paper in Get Information... in the Main tab, Roll Paper Width is set to Custom Size (XXXX).
    However, if the same custom size is already set in User-defined1 (XXXX) or User-defined2 (XXXX), it will not be set to Custom Size (XXXX), and User-defined1 (XXXX) or User-defined2 (XXXX) will be selected instead.
