Manual paper layout setting
Manual paper layout setting is to directly enter paper data into the non-volatile memory of
the printer to execute the "paper layout setting" function. As compared to automatic setting,
manual setting enables finer adjustment of the paper layout. You can set the paper type,
mark-to-mark distance, mark length, paper width and print area.
This "manual paper layout setting" can be used in either of the following two methods. Refer
to the corresponding manuals for how to use these methods.
Use the memory switch setup utility.
(Manual: Memory Switch Setup Utility, User's Manual)
Directly control the printer using ESC/POS commands.
(Manual: ESC/POS Application Programming Guide)
Note:
For the memory switch setup utility and ESC/POS commands, refer to “Introduction of Control
Methods” on page 4-1.
When using the Advanced Printer Driver (APD) or ESC/POS commands, set the print area as
required. The print area position influences the paper layout. When using label paper with black mark,
always make a manual setting of paper layout.
