■ Page alignment when “Paper saving mode” is selected
In the page alignment when “Paper saving mode” is selected, first, the loaded media is fed to
find the first print start position that passes the sensor. Next, it is fed until the next print start
position lying behind the print head is aligned to the Print Head position. Compared to the
“Precise print mode”, the amount of media ejected is smaller, eventually waste of paper is saved.
With “Paper saving mode” selected, the media is fed based on the media settings sent from the
printer driver. Therefore, the feed accuracy decreases compared to the “Precise print mode”.
If the tear-off is to be performed, the media will be further fed up to a tear-off position from the
page alignment position.
Unlike “Precise print mode”, a page alignment is not performed after the printer is started up.
