Note
• If using media smaller than the minimum size, the media will not stop at the right position, causing a print
misalignment.
• Do not send the print data with media size that is smaller than the minimum media pitch size, even when the
sensor is disabled.
• The above minimum media pitch sizes are valid only when the print position adjustment and offset
adjustment are set to 0 mm. The minimum media pitch size changes when the print position adjustment and
offset adjustment are set to the value other than 0 mm.
