Adjusting The Roll Paper Near-End - Epson TM-T88V-DT Technical Reference Manual

Adjusting the Roll Paper Near-End

Below are two situations where a roll paper near-end sensor adjustment is required.
 To adjust the detection position to suit the diameter of the roll paper core used.
 To adjust the detection position of remaining amount of paper.
 Since roll paper cores vary slightly in shape, depending on roll paper design and manufactur-
ing tolerances, it is impossible to detect the remaining paper exactly.
 Use roll paper with a core whose inner diameter is 12 mm {0.47"} and outer diameter is 18 mm
{0.71"} so that the near-end sensor can detect the remaining paper as accurately as possible.
Follow the steps below to adjust the roll paper near-end sensor.
1
Open the roll paper cover, and remove the roll paper.
2
Loosen the adjustment screw fastening the sensor, and align the upper edge of the
positioning plate with the adjustment position.
