Star Micronics SP2000 user manual Optional Near-end Sensor, Adjusting the Near-end Sensor

ENGLISH

9. Optional Near-end Sensor

The near-end sensor detects when the roll of paper loaded in it is reaching the end. The near-end sensor is normally disabled when the printer is shipped from the factory, but it can be enabled by your dealer using the memory switch. The information in this chapter applies only to printers whose near-end sensor is enabled.

Important!

Installation of the near-end sensor should normally be left to your dealer.

9-1. Adjusting the Near-end Sensor

Use the following procedure to adjust the near-end sensor so it is compatible with the size of roll paper you are using.

Important!

Regardless of the overall diameter of the paper roll, the heavy paper core at the center off the roll must have an inside diameter of 12 mm and an outside diameter of 18 mm for proper detection.

1 Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from its power outlet.

2 Remove the printer cover.

3 Remove the roll paper.
