3-2 Adjusting the Paper-end Detector

nThe paper-end detector

The paper-end detector senses when the paper is nearing its end and turns on the PAPER lamp.

The paper-end detector can be adjusted according the thickness of the paper.

nHow to adjust the paper-end detector

Roll paper may differ in spool size, so it may be necessary to adjust the paper-end detector.

Use the specified thermal paper roll with a core inside diameter (d1) of 12 mm and an outside diameter (d2) of 18 mm, or the specified thermal label paper with a core inside diameter (d1) of 12 mm and an outside diameter (d2) of 22 mm.

The thickness of the spool can vary; use the table to determine the paper-end detector adjustment.
