Near-End Sensor - Star Micronics TSP200 User Manual

This printer is equipped with a sensor that detects when a roll of paper is near the
end. Read the following if you are going to use this sensor.
Cautions
1) The factory setting is step 1.
2) Always use a paper roll with a core that has an inside diameter of 12 mm and
an outside diameter of 18 mm in order to ensure proper detection of the
remaining paper amount.
3) The near-end sensor is disabled when shipped from the factory. It can be
enabled by rewriting the memory switch. Refer to the "Programmer's
Manual" for details.
