4Paper roll near-end sensing function (only for the journal paper) <option>

When the journal paper roll comes near the end or is not loaded, the machine senses this condition and sounds an alarm, displaying the error code “E04”. At this time, clear the alarm with theckey and replace the paper roll as soon as possible. The following entry can be made after clearing the alarm. However, since this function works each time one transaction is completed, the alarm sound will be emitted again as the following transaction is completed unless the paper roll is replaced.

•The sensing position depends upon the size of the paper tube. Therefore, it is advisable to use paper rolls - whose paper tube is 18 mm in O.D. and 12 mm in I.D. - specified by SHARP.

•If the sensing occurs too early or late, contact your dealer.
