Adjusting the Detecting Point of the Roll Paper Near-End Detector
Below are two reasons for the roll paper to require an NE detector adjustment.
❏
To adjust the location of detection for the diameter of the roll paper core.
❏
To adjust the amount of remaining paper.
1. Open the roll paper cover, and remove the paper roll.
2. Loosen the detector adjustment screw with a coin or similar tool.
3. Adjust the detector by sliding the tab in the direction shown below.
The table below shows the diameter at which the near-end detector is triggered. Note that
this figure is a calculated value, and there may be some variations, depending on the printer.
4. Tighten the detector adjustment screw.
5. Check to be sure that the detecting lever moves freely.
6. Replace the paper roll.
