■ Page alignment w hen Fixed Length feed mode is selected
If Fixed Length feed mode is selected, the page alignment will be performed as described below:
● If the tear-off is not enabled, a page alignment will not be performed.
● If the tear-off is enabled, the media will be fed up to a tear-off position.
* If both tear-off and cut operations are enabled, the media is fed past a cut position from the
Print Head Position, then cut. Please refer to Section 1.4.1 Cut position for further
information regarding a cut position.
“Media calibration” is a function to measure a sensor threshold value used to detect the upper and
lower edges of a gap, notch, or black mark of the loaded media (hereafter referred to as “UP” and “Lo”,
respectively), the media length excluding a gap, notch, or black mark (hereafter referred to as Lc), and
the media length including them (hereafter referred to as “FL”).
Perform a media calibration when using the printer for the first time or new media that has never been
used in Strict feed mode. (A media feed error may occur when the size of the loaded media and the
result of the media calibration do not match.) The printer advances the media based on the result of
the media calibration.
This is not mandatory for the Easy feed mode, but if a media feed error occurs, perform a media
calibration.
* A media calibration is not mandatory the Easy feed mode, but if a media feed error occurs,
perform a media calibration. Note that when the printer is placed in Fixed Length feed mode, a
media calibration is not required.
