7. PRINTER OPERATION
■Page alignment when “Paper saving mode” is selected
In the page alignment when “Paper saving mode” is selected, first, the loaded media is fed to find the first print start position that passes the sensor. Next, it is fed until the next print start position lying behind the print head is aligned to the Print Head position. Compared to the “Precise print mode”, the amount of media ejected is smaller, eventually waste of paper is saved. With “Paper saving mode” selected, the media is fed based on the media settings sent from the printer driver. Therefore, the feed accuracy decreases compared to the “Precise print mode”.
