How to Switch Paper Rolls
Here we will explain how, in certain situations, paper roll 1 and paper roll 2 are switched. Refer to this
information when necessary, for example, when documents will not print as expected, etc.
If you select Roll Paper (Auto) under Paper Source in the Quality & Media, of the two paper rolls loaded
in the lower and upper trays of the printer, the one best suited for the print job will be automatically selected.
Whether paper roll 1 or paper roll 2 will be used, is determined through a sequence of judgment based on
the 7 conditions in the table below.
At such times, the Device settings -> Paper-related settings -> Detect paper setting mismatch in the
Printer unit's Control panel will switch to the result of the judgment based on the process described below.
• If the Detect paper setting mismatch setting is set on Pause or Hold job
• If the Detect paper setting mismatch setting is Display warning or Do not detect
Important
• If the lower roll unit is not loaded or if the roll unit that was set as the take-up unit is loaded, the roll
paper cannot be switched automatically.
Note
• If Error or On hold are displayed, replace the paper to match the requirements of the print job.
• In order to minimize paper waste, it is recommended that you configure the operation panel on the
Printer unit as indicated below.
