1.5 Paper Roll Supply Device
1) Supply method: Drop-in paper roll
2) Near-end sensor:
a) Detection method: Microswitch
b) Paper roll spool diameter: Inside: 25.4 mm {1.00"}
Outside: 31.4 mm {1.24"}
c) Near-end adjustment: Adjusting screw
Fixed position #1 (approximately 36 mm {1.42"})
#2 (approximately 41 mm {1.61"})
(The adjusting screw has two positions.)
NOTES: • A command can be used to select whether printing is stopped or not when the paper
near end is detected.
• When the paper roll diameter becomes sufficiently small, the sensor detects a
near-end of the paper roll, and the PAPER OUT LED indicator lights. If the sensor
is enabled by
ESC c 4
, the printer stops printing.
After installing a new paper roll, close the roll paper cover; then the printer restarts
printing.
3) Paper width selection: 80 mm {3.15"} (default setting)
By adjusting the paper roll spacer, it is also possible to set optional
positions in the range of 38 to 70 mm {1.50 to 2.76"}. The range of 71
to 79 mm {2.80 to 3.11"} cannot be set.
NOTES: • Be sure to set the paper width with the memory switch to adjust printing to the print
width.
• Never change the paper width from narrow to wide once you set the paper width to
narrow.
Example: 60 mm {2.36"} → 80 mm {3.15"}
The reason not to change the width setting if the printer has ever been used is
because once narrow paper is used, some part of the head always contacts the
platen. Therefore, if a width setting of 80 mm is set, there is a possibility that the
head or the cutter blade may be worn out. By this means, printing is inhibited in the
area described above.
• If roll paper other than the specified ones is used, the paper near-end may not be
detected correctly. However, the paper near-end for roll paper that has a 12 mm
{0.47"} inside diameter and 18 mm {0.71"} outside diameter or 12 mm inside
diameter and 22 mm {0.87"} outside diameter can be detected, even though it is not
as accurate as the specified roll paper.
