8-3-1 Handling 111.5 mm Paper Width

See Fig. 8.3.1 for the paper roll holder setting position to handle paper widths of 111.5 ±0.5 mm. Position the edge of the paper roll holder onto the central position of the references a and a'.

See the figure to assembly at the correct position.

Note 1) The paper roll holder is assembled to that position when shipped from the factory.

8-3-2 Handling 82 mm Paper Width

See Fig. 8.3.2 for the paper roll holder setting position to handle paper widths of 82 ±0.5 mm.

Position the edge of the paper roll holder onto the central position of the references c and c'.

See the figure to assembly at the correct position.

Note 1) In this case, be careful because the edge of the paper roll holder positioned on the reference is the opposite.
