Assembly – Paper Roll Setup

It is necessary to adjust the paper roll holder for the width of the paper you use. If the setting position is incorrect, the paper roll will be supplied improperly to the mechanism which in turn causes paper transport problems. Thus, it is should be properly adjusted.

The following table shows the paper roll holder and paper core inner diameter range.

Paper roll Holder	Paper Core
Types	Diameter Ranges
Paper roll Holder (1)	25.4 mm ± 1
Paper roll Holder (2)	50.8 mm ± 1
Paper roll Holder (3)	76.2 mm ± 1

Note 1) The unit is assembled for 1 inch paper cores when shipped from the factory. Also, it is set for a paper width of 111.5 ±0.5 (take-up width of 112 +0.5/-1) when the printer is shipped from the factory.

Roll Holder Size	Paper Thickness
1” or 25.4 mm	65 to 100 µm
2” or 50.8 mm	100 to 150 µm
3” or 76.2 mm	100 to 150 µm

8.3A is a reference for the paper roll holder unit paper roll shaft position. Adjust or mount the paper roll holder unit for the core diameter and width of the paper you intend to use.

8-3-1 Handling 111.5 mm Paper Width

See Fig. 8.3.1 for the paper roll holder setting position to handle paper widths of 111.5 ±0.5 mm. Position the edge of the paper roll holder onto the central position of the references a and a'.

See the figure to assembly at the correct position.

Note 1) The paper roll holder is assembled to that position when shipped from the factory.

8-3-2 Handling 82 mm Paper Width

See Fig. 8.3.2 for the paper roll holder setting position to handle paper widths of 82 ±0.5 mm.

Position the edge of the paper roll holder onto the central position of the references c and c'.

See the figure to assembly at the correct position.

Note 1) In this case, be careful because the edge of the paper roll holder positioned on the reference is the opposite.
