Selecting the Paper Type (Roll)

When changing the type of paper after the paper has been advanced, specify the type of paper as follows.

Important

For best printing results, the printer ne-tunes the feed amount for each type of paper. That’s why the margins and the size of printed images may vary depending on the type of paper used. If printing results are not as you expected, adjust the paper feed amount and Printhead height.

If no barcode has been printed on the roll and you have activated automatic detection of the remaining roll paper, specify the roll length after the paper type. (→P.118)
