◈ Installing the Paper Roll

※ Note : Adjusting the Paper Near-End Sensor
The paper near-end sensor performs the two functions of gauging
'No Paper' status as well as detecting black marks. In order to
gauge 'No Paper' status, the sensor must be in the "a" position as
shown in the picture. The factory default setting places the
sensor in this position. To detect black marks, the sensor must
be in the "b" position.
Black marks must have an optical density (O.D.) of at least 0.6 to
be safely detected.
As the black mark density of the paper can cause operating
errors, make sure to check it.
