Preparing the Printer

Paper near end sensor

When installed

vertically and

wall hung

When installed horizontally

Change the sensor location according to the way the printer is installed and the interior

diameter of the roll paper you are using. Referring to the following table, set it at a

location suited to the usage environment by moving it to the left and right while pushing

the concave part of the center of the sensor with your finger. (When shipped from the

factory, it is set at φ24mm.)

Setting the Paper Near End Sensor

 The remaining roll paper (external diameter of the roll paper) differs greatly

according to the type of roll paper used. Use these values only as guidelines.

 When the sensor has detected the remaining roll paper during printing, the printer

stops printing after it has printed all the data that it had received.

 If you are using a model with parallel (IEEE1284) interface specifications, you can

select sensor enabled/disabled in Soft SW Setting Mode.

 If you are using a model with serial (RS232C) interface specifications, it is always

enabled.
