3.8 Manual Paper Layout Setup
The manual paper layout setup is used to execute the “Paper layout setup” function by entering
paper data directly into the NV memory of the printer. This function enables adjusting the layout
more precisely than with the automatic paper layout setup. It is possible to set a paper type,
distance between marks, mark length, paper width, and items for printable area. After installing
the paper, do the paper layout setup.
Even if the transparency rates (refer to Section 3.9) differ between papers whose paper size is
the same (for example, when the backing paper changes from white glassine to blue), make sure
to do the paper layout setup.
There are two ways to use the “Manual paper layout setup.” Refer to the appropriate instructions
for details.
• Use a memory switch setting utility. (Refer to the utility and its user’s manual.)
• Control the printer directly with ESC/POS commands. (Refer to the ESC/POS Application
Programming Guide.)
3.9 Requirements for Transparency Rate of Die-Cut Label Paper
If die-cut label paper is used, the position of the label is determined by the difference between the
transparency of the label backing paper and the transparency of the backing paper only.
Therefore, it is recommended that you use label paper with a large difference of transparency. Be
sure the label meets the following requirements so that the printer can recognize the position of
the label.
Label + Backing paper:
Transparency rate: 18% or less
Backing paper:
Transparency rate: 47% or more
NOTES: 1. Transparency rates are measured by the Macbeth TD-904 (with a filter for
infrared) photometer. The transparency rates are calculated as follows:
Use
Density = Log
10
(Amount of irradiation / Amount of transparency)
Then,
Transparency rate (%) = (Amount of transparency / Amount of irradiation) × 100
