Chapter3 Preparing the Printer
Setting the Paper Near End Sensor
Change the sensor location according to the way the printer is installed and the interior diameter of the roll paper you are using. Referring to the following table, set it at a location suited to the usage environment by moving it to the left and right while pushing the concave part of the center of the sensor with your finger. (When shipped from the factory, it is set at φ24mm.)

Caution
The remaining roll paper (external diameter of the roll paper) differs greatly according to the type of roll paper used. Use these values only as guidelines.
When the sensor has detected the remaining roll paper during printing, the printer stops printing after it has printed all the data that it had received.
If you are using a model with parallel (IEEE1284) interface specifications, you can select sensor enabled/disabled in Soft SW Setting Mode.
If you are using a model with serial (RS232C) interface specifications, it is always enabled.
