Adjustment G: Adjusting the Paper Roll Near-end Detector Location
Adjust the remaining paper roll amount to be detected as the near end by following the
instructions below, because the amount differs depending on the inner and outer diameter of
the paper roll core.
1. Use a paper roll for which the inner diameter of the paper core is 10 mm (.394”) or more.
2. Select a near-end thickness A, which is the thickness of the paper core including the
remaining paper roll, according the chart below.
The dimension A values in the table are obtained by calculation only. Therefore, they may not be
appropriate for all printers.
When a red end mark is painted on the end of the paper roll, the entire roll may be pulled up because the
end mark acts as an adhesive. In this case, dimension A is not correct.
If the paper on the paper roll becomes loose due to the paper quality, the paper roll near-end detector may
operate incorrectly.
