Setting Loaded Paper
For Roll Paper
Configure the following settings after loading roll paper.
Paper Type settings
This is the most important setting to obtain the
optimum print results. Not setting a paper type that
matches the loaded paper will cause wrinkles, scuffing,
uneven colors, and other trouble.
Manage Remaining Amount settings
When On is selected for Manage Remaining Amount,
the printer tracks the following roll paper data.
❏
Roll paper remaining amount display
This displays the approximate remaining amount
of roll paper on the printer's Home screen and on
the printer driver screen. Furthermore, a
notification can also be displayed when the
remaining amount has become low.
❏
Remaining amount management when replacing
roll paper
The following settings are recorded in a barcode
printed on the roll.
The amount of roll paper remaining, the value
selected for remaining alert, and the paper type.
The barcode is automatically printed at the end of
the roll paper when the roll is rewound. The
barcode is automatically read and settings adjusted
the next time the roll paper is used, improving
efficiency when multiple rolls of paper are used.
However, depending on the paper, the printer may
not be able to read the barcode.
