Operating the Printer

Procedure

The paper low sensor lights the paper low/out LED when the paper roll is almost empty.

You can raise or lower the paper low sensor assembly to change the amount of paper left on the roll when the sensor lights the paper low/out LED. Raise the assembly by turning the screw counterclockwise to signal paper low earlier (more paper left on the roll). Lower the assembly by turning the screw clockwise to signal paper low later (less paper left on the roll).

You need a Phillips head screwdriver to make this adjustment.

1.Open the rear cover.

2.Turn the screw on the paper low assembly to raise or lower the sensor, changing the amount of paper that will be left on the roll when the sensor activates the paper status LED.

3.See the table for more information.

4.Close the cover.
