6.3WHERE TO MOUNT THE PAPER HOLDER

When determining the layout of paper holder, note the following:

zWhen you use a paper roll, set the holder so that the paper is straight in relation with the paper inlet without any horizontal shifting, and the center axis of the paper roll is parallel with the printer.

zPaper supply load to the printer should be 0.49N (50gf).

6.4WHERE TO MOUNT THE PLATEN UNIT

The dimensions of alignment for the mechanical unit and the platen unit are shown in Figure 6-3for a situation when the platen unit has been mounted to the outer case, and the unit has been opened and closed.

Design the mounting position of the revolving point on the platen unit for the outer case so that it is contained within the dimension tolerance shown in Figure 6-3.

In some construction cases of the outer case, the mechanical unit and platen unit may be able to be matched even if the mounting position etc. of the platen unit is outside the dimension tolerance shown in Figure 6-3. Make sure that excessive stress is not applied to the outer case and/or platen unit in said situation.

An incorrect mounting position of the revolving point on the platen unit may cause an alignment failure of the mechanical unit and/or the platen unit, leading to printing problems. The installation of an exclusive autocutter may cause bad cutting or paper jams.
