If roll paper of different widths and different types are loaded in the upper and lower rolls, printing is per-

formed on the roll paper that matches the media types specified in the print job.

Since errors may occur or printing may be performed on the unintended roll depending on the settings, it is

recommended in this case that you print by specifying the better suited roll paper 1 or roll paper 2 without

using double-roll switching.
