Paper Level Sensors
The printer has inputs for two paper level sensors.
Sensor status is reported to the host computer when it asks the printer for status. If you want
the indicator on the printer to flash to show paper level sensor status, you must enable
signaling using parameter No. 52, see Default Parameter Settings on page 71.
Figure 10 • Sensors on Large Roll Holder
The paper-near-end sensor alerts the system when a couple of meters of paper remain. The
purpose of this sensor is to get an early alert so that you can replace the paper in time in
remotely located kiosks.
The weekend sensor should alert when the remaining paper does not last over a weekend. A
reason to use this sensor is that it is more expensive to get a service technician out on a
weekend or holiday, than it is to replace the paper before it is totally empty.
The Zebra 150 mm paper roll holder can be equipped with one paper-near-end sensor, while
the larger paper holders have both paper-near-end and weekend sensors.
When installing the Zebra paper holder just connect the cable from the roll holder to connector
J1 at the back of the printer. See Printer Exterior, Rear View on page 11.
