DIP Switch and Paper Near End Settings A-7
Adjusting the Paper Near End Detector
The paper near end detector detects when paper is almost gone by
measuring the diameter of the paper roll. The detector has two
settings.
Because of variations in paper roll cores, it is not possible for the
detector to measure the exact length of the paper left on the roll
when the detector is triggered. Of the two settings, the factory
setting (lower) leaves the least amount of paper on the roll when
the sensor is triggered. If you want more paper left, change the
setting as described below.
Note:
The factory setting is based on a paper roll core with an outside
diameter of 18 mm (0.71") and an inside diameter of 12 mm (0.47").
If you use a paper roll with a core with an outside diameter of more
than 18 mm, it is better to change to the upper setting, as described
below.
1. Open the printer cover, and remove the paper roll.
2. Loosen the adjusting screw and move the tab up to the upper
setting.
3. Tighten the adjusting screw, and check to be sure that the
detecting lever moves freely.
4. Replace the paper roll.
