Adjusting the Paper Roll Near-End Sensor
When you install the printer horizontally, you can use the paper near-end sensor. Below are two
situations where a paper near-end sensor adjustment is required.
•To adjust the detection position to suit the diameter of the roll paper core used.
•To adjust the detection position of the remaining amount of roll paper.
Follow the steps below to adjust the roll paper near-end detector.
1
Open the roll paper cover, and remove the roll paper.
2
Loosen the adjustment screw fastening the sensor, and align the upper
edge of the positioning plate with the adjustment position.
• To use the paper near-end sensor, it needs to be enabled with the memory switch. To set the
memory switch, see "Setting the Memory Switches/Receipt Enhancement" on page 44.
• When you install the printer vertically or hang it on a wall, be sure to disable the paper near-
end sensor. Otherwise false detections occur.
• Since roll paper cores vary slightly in shape, depending on paper roll design and
manufacturing tolerances, it is impossible to detect the remaining paper exactly.
• Use roll paper with a core inner diameter of 12 mm {0.47"} and outer diameter of 18 mm
{0.71"} so that the paper near-end sensor can detect the remaining paper as accurately as
possible.
Whether to let the Paper LED light when the roll paper is nearly out can be selected with the
memory switch. To set the memory switch, see "Setting the Memory Switches/Receipt
Enhancement" on page 44.
